Work Sharp Precision Knife Sharpener Compact Black

Product Information

Sharpening angles can be adjusted from 15° to 30° in 1° increments to accommodate a wide range of kitchen, outdoor and EDC knives. Two Tri-Brasive® handles provide five diamond grit plates and a fine ceramic to repair, sharpen, and hone to an incredibly sharp edge. Then the leather strop refines and polishes your edge to scary sharp results. Included ceramic rod hones serrations. Clamp Stabilizing platform (Clamp Stabilizer) for increased stability when sharpening larger knives. Compared to the Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener, the much larger Professional Adjust Knife Sharpener is equipped with a solid metal body and screw-on holes for the workbench, allowing you to sharpen even full-grown knives or machetes. This means: safe stand, safe sharpening and definitely sharp knives! Setting your desired sharpening angle has never been easier. With the digital angle indicator, you can effortlessly adjust the angle from 15° to 30°, ensuring accurate and consistent results every time. The 1″ x 6″ abrasives included in this system offer a comprehensive selection, comprising 220, 320, 400, 600, and 800 grit diamond, a ceramic honing plate, and a leather strop that guarantees a flawlessly polished edge. Included with the Professional Precision Adjust System is a digital angle gauge, 5 diamond impregnated plates ranging in grit from 220 to 800, a ceramic plate, and a leather stropping plate. These plates attach magnetically to the sliding handle/carriage, and are easy to swap out as one progresses through the grits.

The hone slides along the guide rod easily, and you can set the range of motion with a couple of small rubber stoppers included on the rod. Work Sharp has a new sharpening system as you probably noticed today (May 1, 2023) if you are at all plugged into the Knife Industry YouTube/Blog/Podcast scene. They sent the new units to members of the online knife community last month, but the press embargo (silent period) expired today. I did cover it in my Knife News column in the June issue which just went to press last week, and won’t be arriving in mailboxes until closer to June. The big sexy feature here, however, has to be the Digital Angle Indicator. No, it’s not hard to use the standard angle indicator built into the frame. In fact, in most cases, it suffices. But the addition of the Digital Angle Indicator increases the level of precision to the stratosphere. Building upon the best-selling Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener™ – The Precision Adjust ELITE™ is an angle adjustable, seven abrasive grit, knife sharpening system that delivers precision and repeatability for the discerning edge enthusiast who wants the best in manual sharpening.The PPAKS is both easy to set up and easy to use. Included with this model is a rubberized work mat that serves both as a clean work surface and a reference guide. It breaks out all the parts of the PPAKS as well as an explanation of grind angles, recommended angles based on knife types, blade anatomy, and which sharpening plates to use based on the condition of the knife edge you’re working on.

A big upgrade from its predecessor, the Precision Adjust, which has a plastic base. By using metal, there is less flexibility in the system and you get more accurate sharpening results. The base is also reinforced, making the sharpening system stand steadier on a table. For those who plan to use the system often: the base of the Professional Precision Adjust features screw holes. With these, you mount the sharpening system permanently on a workbench. Clamp and tilting system Includes seven (7) abrasive grits: 220, 320, 400, 600, and 800 diamond, Fine Ceramic, Leather Strop The Knife Clamp Collet is built to securely and carefully hold your knife. Your knife is clamped in with jaws that feature a layer of rubber between your knife and the clamp. This extra layer of projection ensures your valuable knife won't get scratched, but it still held tight. The wheel closes the jaws, no tools are needed to secure your knife to the clamp.

About 5 years ago, I stood in my workshop looking at 50 knives I needed to sharpen within a week. My original thought was to get the blades — which had never had an edge on them — as sharp as I could by using a combination of Work Sharp’s Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener and then use Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone System to get that skin popping edge. I was able to get the job done, but it nearly killed the Ken Onion sharpener.To provide the products and services you have requested from Intelligink Pty Ltd trading as Knife Shop Australia I worked my way through the various grits, and was impressed with how easily the plates swapped out, and how securely the magnets held them in place during use. Finally, I used the leather strop plate, being careful to only slide in the direction of the edge. From box to bench, I had the PPPAKS put together in under ten minutes. That includes the amount of time I spend admiring the build, which doesn’t require any tools. In fact, it doesn’t really even require any instructions, but the instructions included are easy to follow and useful. Thanks to revised adjustment options, the required sharpening angle can be set between 15° and 35° in no time at all, while an additional digital spirit level with an accuracy of 0.25° ensures precise and reproducible results.
