knife shapeners

[b23]

I got to play with my new KO Work Sharp yesterday.  I've never had the patients nor the ability, for whatever reason, to sharpen knives very well but the Work Sharp makes it pretty dang easy to get knives incredibly sharp. 

Like I said, I'm not very good at sharpening knives so we have a couple ceramic knives in the wife's kitchen and those things are razor freakin sharp so I used those ceramics as my comparison for the two knives I sharpened with my new KO Work Sharp.  Since this thing is brand new to me I just followed the sharpening instructions in the users manual and I would say the two knives I sharpened came out as sharp as my ceramic knives, which are VERY sharp.  It'll be interesting to see how long they hold their edge.  I don't expect them to stay sharp as long as my ceramics but at least I know I can get my steel bladed knives just as sharp.

I have used this set for years for any new knife to get the edge I want then we have a two wheel ceramic knife sharpener in the kitchen to maintain the edge. My wife can keep her kitchen knives as sharp as she wants now with the ceramic device after I am done with the Gatco sharpener.

Those of you who use a Work Sharp, what belt do you typically use as your "go to" grit belt?

   I use an adjustable electric sander with a fine grit belt.  works great.  if you already have one it is free.     mike w

Just to throw something a bit different out here. This is what I use on a dedicated grinder in the garage. Bring the grinder to the butcher table when it comes time to process the animal.

This is the same set up I use and I love it. Razor sharp every time.
