Review on 🔪 Professional Electric Knife & Tool Sharpener Mk.2 - 120V Precision Sharpening Solution by Chris Hanson

Now wait a second, take a breath and think about what you really need to sharpen knives and other tools before you go out and buy this thing . Because I probably should have. I have sharpened many knives and tools with stones, rod systems, files, ceramics and steel. All have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the circumstances of the sharpening. But they all have one thing in common: once you get the hang of it, they will smooth out your blade edge. By keeping the bevel angle the same I could pretty much use them all interchangeably. But this Work Sharp belt sharpener doesn't play well with other systems. It gives the blade a convex edge. And once you've gotten convex, it's very difficult to get flat again. To keep that raised edge all you have to do is use Work Sharp practically every time. The only tool that seems to continue to be useful between Work Sharp and everyone else is my leather belt. (I won't argue which edge is better, convex or flat. I can cut perfectly with either.) Work Sharp now quickly produces a very sharp knife edge. insanely fast! You can take a blunt tool and get a blade that will blast your hair in a few minutes. It really looks like you are cheating. But at this speed there are trade-offs: - the edge will be sharp but not mirror-like - you must master the technique to get a sharp edge without grinding it down. too much stole. It's too easy to chew steel with this tool. Be careful not to damage the tips of the knives. great danger at speed. This tool seems capable of leaving tiny scratches on your shiny blade even if you are very careful. pick up what I've adapted this tool for knives I just need to sharpen quickly and don't care what they look like. That means the EDC mallets that I abuse on a regular basis, my hunting/camping knives, most kitchen knives that have always existed, and any blade that comes in contact with dirt from time to time (sorry about the ax and lawnmower ). My "good" folders and every expensive cutlery we buy still go through personal (albeit slow) manual processing. But would I buy them if I knew they weren't compatible with my other sharpening methods? Yes, I would still buy it, even if I had thought twice about it. Not because my other sharpening tools can't sharpen blades like this thing (they definitely can), but because it's damn fast!
