Quick tip for cleaning your ceramics, when they get blacked up they don't sharpen so well, so run a pencil eraser over them to clean them up.

Correction: the ceramic rod has an angle guide at 25 degrees to create a microbevel

I've started linking to this video in various knife related forums when people ask for recommendations for their first, inexpensive sharpening tool. I have stones and sharpening systems galore, but this one little tool has replace them all for 99% of my sharpening due to the convenience. I gifted a young man I worked with a decent folder and showed him how to use one of these to maintain it. Then gifted him the WSGFS I was teaching him on. Gave me an excuse to buy a new one and helps me justify my knife habit.

Good video! I have used this sharpener for about 2 years, with good results. It is a FIELD sharpener - don't expect it to take the place of $350 worth of Naniwa stones. That said, I was pressed to repair the overstropped convex edge of the 1095 steel blade of a Tops Brakimo. Using the plates as you would a full size set of quality stones, going back and forth along the length, versus pulling the edge across the plates, I was able to rework the edge to the proper profile, then refine with the ceramic and small strop. The knife was put back into service, then properly refinished once I was able to use my traditional strop with green and white compounds. The knife is sharper today than it has been in years. I absolutely agree that this is an excellent tool for all blade owners, especially those uncertain about sharpening or unwilling to learn and buy high quality stones. With this kit you can keep a blade 100% serviceable for a very long time - long enough to learn and save for quality stones. I have also used the hook sharpener for some of my expensive japanese hooks, as well as the broadhead removal tool. Also, I don't remember if Pete mentioned it, but the ceramic rod is held in place by a small silver pin. If you remove the pin, the ceramic rod can be used outside of its housing. Worksharp has also made all parts of this kit replaceable and offers them separately. In my opinion, it was money well spent.

Have had this for four years and haven't had to use it. Unlike some videos, THIS ONE HELPED.

I recently received this as a gift. It is very impressive especially for the price! I'm new to sharpening and thanks to your video I was able to sharpen all my knives with ease. Thank you sir!

I picked up one of these About seven years ago and have been using it as my primary sharpening system since then. Mine is sold that they still used stickers for the instruction panels on the back. It was the first production run I believe. Great system highly recommend it to lots of people.

Thanks Pete, I’ve had this thing for 6 months and this is the best guide I’ve seen on how to use it properly

thankyou! i thought i’d risk a but of a drier video by showing it in full on a decent steel

Pete, great vid, thanks. I picked one of these up last year and was afraid to use it. Now feel better equipped to go forward using it. Picked up the pocket Work Sharp after your previous vid and it does the job nicely after the learning curve. A bit more pressure on the strokes helped achieve a satisfactory edge. Thanks and enjoy.

Thanks so much for this great video! I just used mine for the first time with your video and now the knife glides through paper!!! THANKS!

Thank you for your awesome review. I’ve been watching Michael Christy for a while and I’m fascinated with how much you guys know. I feel so lost and frustrated right now. I just can’t seem to get my knives as sharp as I’d like them to be. I’ll keep watching and practicing. Thanks!

I got one of these for Christmas and I love it. It stays in my work/travel bag.

I loved how you can pull out the ceramic rod completely and use it for whatever you need. Free hand honing, chamfering edges on those fancy knives, etc. Love that. Then take an eraser and erase all the black marks off.

Little tip.. When sharpening on this or any stone don't run the tip of the knife off of the stone, that'll cause your tip to blunt. Try stopping when the tip of the knife has been sharpened then lift the blade off instead of continuing the motion off the stone

I thought you were crazy for commenting this on petes video, as its such a novice mistake, generally. He does do that, though. Pretty bad, some times. Bad enough to likely snap the ultra fine tip on a few of the really hard PM2s. No hate or anything, ive been sharpening most of my life but cant say id be comfortable putting a video of me doing it on yt for everyone to criticize. Edit: also suggest lifting a bit to maintain the edge angle at the tip

Tip seemed pretty good when he split that paper. That said, I've always done blades in segments- the straight, the curve, then the tip.

Hey, from Nova Scotia, Canada. Thanks for the video, I have about 11 pocket knives everything from Case, Crkt Spyderco, Browning, Kershaw, Gerber, Sog. The reason I (dumb) have so many is because once the knife became dull I simply couldn’t sharpen properly with a variety of other sharpeners. Since I purchased this sharpener, I have sharpened most all to a razor sharp edge .

Thanks for showing the full sharpening process, I just ordered this sharpener. cheers

Thanks for this review. I have zero real sharpening know-how. As a Walmart reviewer, I was just offered 1 of 2 Workshop sharpeners, the one in this video or the electric Combo Sharpener. At first I intended to get the electric model, thinking it would be easier. After quickly checking reviews on the 2 options, including this video review, I opted to try the model you reviewed here.

I have and use the field sharpener. It ALWAYS gives me a WIDE ON! Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️

This is my hunting sharpener but also has become my main sharpener for all blades, pocket or hunting or kitchen, because reasons. The thing works reliably for me, and I havent pulled the trigger on a full set of diamond plates. Agree 100% that a good stropping, even with the basic green aluminum oxide compound, has allowed me to achieve better edges than I would have been able to achieve with whatever other sharpening steps I would have otherwise used.

I bought one and it is my only sharpener. It works for my purposes on pocket knifes and most kitchen knives. Thanks for this review. Love your videos.

I have had one for a few weeks now and I like it, I am going to put it in my camping/hunting bag

I’ve used that one, and own the smaller, the smaller one helped me finally sharpen my 62hrc (from test results I’ve seen ) D2 .

I bought one of these a couple of months back. Highly recommended!

Another helpful vid. I’m new to sharpening and have buggered some edges. Will look into this one. Helpful comments from everyone here as well. Love the channel

I love mine and I got it because of you! Thanks for the tip and all the excellent videos!

Thanks for making this video its good to know that something like this can be used as a primary sharpening system

I love your videos bud. I'm a subscriber and I am a cinematographer. Came to your beautiful country earlier in in 2019. Keep up the good work. The only thing that killed me was the audio of the knife hitting the roughest. I know that's part of the humor. Good stuff.

love this little sharpener. Bring it with me on every big fishing or hunting trip. nice video!

Cheers M8! It's good to hear some pointers before I use mine. I seem to learn all kinds of things from Aussie produced videos, lol. Prepped my first rabbit this summer.

Love the vids man. Keep up the good work. I was just looking to buy one of these but all the other reviews are garbage so I wasn't sure. Now I'm gonna have to pick one up. Thanks again 🍻

You can push out the steel pin that holds in the ceramic rod, then use it freehand. Super useful. Love my field sharpener.

Luv that sharpener. I found that holding the knife with your index finger on the spine and your thumb on the side of the handle will lock your wrist for more accuracy with maintaining blade angle. For the opposite side your thumb will be on the spine and your index finger on the side of the handle or blade. This grip transitions well to your regular sharpening stones once muscle memory is established using this system.

So what’s funny to me. I totally bought a bunch of shqrpeners to try to make this video series that you are. Except I suck at the KZread and videos. Thanks for all you do for the community

So I’m trying to learn to use the whetstone. I’m a single momma of 2 sons. We all love our knives. Well… my dad tried to teach me back in the day and of course I didn’t pay attention. I’m like I could take it to him to sharpen all my pocket knives. Now my daddy has passed, and I need to teach my sons. I would get a edge on our dull knives but then once I took it to the last grit I would dull it every time. Well…. Just got one of these and I freaking love it. Haven’t got it sharpen enough to shave hair “yet”. But I’m stubborn as heck and don’t give up very easy!! So excited! I just might be able to teach them soon.

Iv had mind for a couple years and I love thos sharpener.. I'm glad you made this video and was watching one of your other videos and was like why didnt he review this one..and just happened to see this video..it is a really useful sharpener. But I still love my KME

Very happy with every aspect of this tool. For the money, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to beat.

I couldn't agree with you less. I've found it to be a hopeless product and a big disappointment. Followed this and every other tutorial on You Tube. I really wanted it to work. Could not get a decent edge on my outing knife after many attempts.

I had my Work Sharp GFS for I recon 4 or 5 years by now, still my first one. It was my first and for a long time only sharpening tool and I`ve sharpened everything from small pocketknives up to hatches, axes and machetes with it. If I could only have one sharpening tool, I would say this is it. It can do everything I actually need especially when paired with decent hand sharpening skills. It´s only about 35Euro here which is a steal, I pay more for a single Shapton Whetstone. Enjoyed your video Pete, maybe you`ll get into free hand sharpening next? :D

the ff music is a really nice touch. dont know why but i adore when video game stuff mixes with knife stuff in any way. two thing i love so much

Thanks for the thorough review, and recommendation. I just ordered one.

I use mine a lot to do touch -ups. I loaded the strop with some red polishing compound. It's the perfect backpack sharpener!

Great video Pete very informative. Coming from a brand new knife guy this helped a lot.

Ive had this sharpener for a few years, I love it.

I have one of these in my lunch box to sharpen my work knives and Leatherman (I use a Wicked Edge on my nice knives and a Chef’s Choice Trizor 15 on my kitchen knives, along with a few strops). It works great for what it is. I had to straighten the edge on my S110V Spyderco Para 3 with it once because it got a little nick and I wasn’t near my house, and I DON’T recommend that, but for relatively soft work steels it does a great job if you keep them maintained. Excellent product if you have realistic expectations of it.

You’ve sold me. I’m new to premium knives and terrified of sharpening. This seems to be the perfect tool to start with. Thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video!

I have watched so many of your videos...sorry I am so late to subscribing! I am a free-hand sharpener and quite adept at it. I keep a Spyderco Double-stuff in each of my carry bags. It has served me well for over 20 years. After a touch up in the field or at work, I always finish my edges on a Knives Plus strop block. My primary sharpening system consists of a Course (DMT) Diamond Stone, Extra Fine (DMT) Diamond Stone and I use a Spyderco 306 Ceramic Stone to polish...yep, I finish on the Knives Plus Strop Block.

Ordered one. I’m one of those stone sharpeners but I wanted something portable. I’ve been using a Victorinox pen style ceramic hone with great success but wanted something more thorough and complete. Thx.

I liked the music mostly and I learnt something. Thanks xx

This was my favourite purchase In 2018 so versatile and portable for the money was £30 in the uk

Have this, the guided sharpening system and the Ken onion and this little thing i use more than all of them. Wish they sold extra plates that's my only gripe but puts a great edge on

Thank you so much for the great video, I think I'm going to buy this now.

You can find sheaths for this too. I got mine from Amazon US, and there are these nice third-party sheaths for it. Fits in there like a dream.

I got one too, enjoy the sharping sound, LOL.

This is one of my main sharpeners. I primarily use it for honing and stropping though

I don't know if this has been pointed out but the small round section of ceramic is for sharpening serrations.

This is such a great company I have their knife sharpener for inside I sharpen all my knives I plug it in I can change the belts different cores medium awesome this nice sharpener is great for the field when I walk my dog to the park and it's a gated Park I can let my dog loose and I could sit there and sharpen my knives while he's exercising such a great tool thank you workshop for this wonderful all in one tool 😎🖐️💕👍

I really like this sharpener and its design. For my larger knives, rather than draw the edge across the sharpener, I can grip it to do the opposite and draw the sharpener across the edge. Works like a charm. I wouldn't do that with a brick. Takes practice though. lol But like you said, you're not going to ruin your knife. It'll be fine.

Every time that knife tip slipped off the side of that stone I felt it in my bawl

Taking me some time to get good with it vut so far so good!

I have that. My first sharpener. If you have a steady hand it does a pretty darn good job. The tilt system would make an even bevel compared to a kme which would some areas of the knife bevel wider if it’s ground to be thicker. Edit: wanted to add that the ceramic section is removable so that can be your field sharpener making it a good one system for home and field.

I own them his and the titling system with extension kit. Both are fantastic. I’m a sharpening n00b and learned a lot using them.

The black ramps by the strop are 20 degree angle guides also

I started with a Spyderco sharp-maker, with no diamond rods, just the ones that come in the kit. My girlfriend picked me up a new knife and a surprise in the box was this field sharpener. This thing is so cool and compact! I have a maxamet para 3 and was told the diamond is the way to go with this steel. Still nervous to try and sharpen it again and ruin the edge, but I think the diamonds on here will cut it well, and then I can finish with the ceramics. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I found a neat trick for the ceramic rod, If you coat it 0.5 micron diamond paste? Grease? from veneve it works much better for wear resistant steels.

Nice video that makes me think I should try one of these.

Great tutorial 👌. Make a braided 550 cord lanyard to give it a better grip and its great in the field.

If I’m just looking to tune up my ZT, which has CPM20cv steel, will this system help?

Great video for the beginner using it. If experienced like you would you still do the guides or freehand it??

Bonus points for the Monty Python Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog reference. 👍

the notches under the one stone are broadhead wrenches, to remove your arrowheads for sharpening
