 I haven't done it on my Worksharp but it should work pretty well. I've been sharpening up my Razor's Edge blades with it and they're good to go!

I've sharpened havalon's a bunch. Especially the fillet knife. As a matter if fact, it still has the original blade from 2 years ago. Filleted hundreds of fish with it and each time when finish, run it through the worksharp.  Try it once and you'll see why.

Just be careful now to run the blade holder part of the knife through the worksharp. Mine is about a third gone now, lol. Taking the blade off and using a pair or Kleins or vise grips to hold the blade while sharpening it is also a good thing.

Even if I fill every tag I have, I'd still only use about 10 havalon blades. And for how cheap they are, why bother with sharpening them. That's the whole point of using a havalon. Quick blade changes.

I have been using the Havalon knives since they came out. I have beeen selling them for years. I typically use 1 blade to do both my Deer and my elk, Gutted,skniied and boned out.If it gets a little dull I hit it briefly on my diamond steel. Razor shapr in a couple of strokes. Why not sharpen it and extend the life

Kind of my thoughts too. However,  it also makes sense to chuck the worn out blades and put a new one in. After all, that was their design.  Pretty funny though how I'll keep touching up a blade to prove a point how many animals I can skin with one blade, while I have a couple hundred extras, lol.
