WORK SHARP ELITE KNIFE SHARPENING SOLUTION ($199.95) Built on the base of our award-winning Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener and the pro-upgraded Blade Grinding Attachment, fast, powerful sharpening is available at the touch of a button. Variable speeds, customized angles, and professionally engineered 1” x 18” belts ensure clean, consistent, and cool grinds when touching-up or reprofiling any blade in your collection.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Using 1”x18” engineered abrasive belts in an assortment of five grits and a 4 pulley system that adjusts from 10° to 35° in 1° increments, the Work Sharp Elite Knife Sharpening Solution gives you the most control and freedom of any of our sharpeners. Belt speed is adjustable from 1200-2800 SFM (surface feet per minute) to accommodate a wide range of sharpening and honing tasks, and the Work Sharp Elite Knife Sharpening Solution’s Blade Grinding Attachment is constructed using cast metal components and engineered polymers to endure the rigors of heavy shaping and sharpening tasks.
The center position of the top two pulleys is adjustable to set your preferred belt deflection – a full convex or a near flat convex – allowing you to customize your cutting edge to best meet your needs and preferences. The Work Sharp Elite Knife Sharpening Solution is similar in design to the systems professional blade makers use, providing knife enthusiasts with a high-quality, precise machine to shape, sharpen and hone your blades without the cost of an industrial machine.
The Work Sharp Elite Knife Sharpening Solution doesn’t stop at sharpening. The included Work Sharp Cloth Stropping Belt Kit provides a refined sharpening experience for those who demand the sharpest blades possible. The stropping belts extend your sharpening and honing capabilities to the extreme end of the sharpening spectrum – utilizing micro-abrasive compounds to create an incredibly keen edge for high performance cutting tasks or creating a show-quality finish on your blade edges.

The Work Sharp Benchtop Angle Set Knife Sharpener ($59.95) is a complete, versatile and adjustable knife sharpener. The 3 sided sharpening rods provide coarse and fine grit diamond plates to quickly restore a sharp edge, while the fine grit ceramic stone creates an incredibly keen edge on any knife. Rods rotate for quick indexing between grits making it fast and easy. Sharpening Angles can be set to 15°, 17.5°, 20°, 22.5° or 25°. Conveniently folds down and stows in a compact case. Designed with knife making legend Ken Onion, this sharpener is a must have for any edge enthusiast.
The Angle Set Tri-Brasive Rods were designed to rotate 360 degrees so you aren’t locked in (pun intended) to a single position of approach for sharpening. It allows for moving quickly between abrasive surfaces and creating perfectly comfortable ergonomics when sharpening. Adjust one side in a little, and the other out – make it most comfortable for you knowing it won’t affect the sharpening angle selected.
