Electric Knife Sharpeners?? (Work Sharp WSKTS Sharpener)

[pianoman9701]

For sharpening at home I use a Chef's Choice 2 stage sharpener. I have no complaints with it and have used it for at least 5 years.

I found this online for $38. Is this the same one?

I have the work sharp 3000 for my chisels and plane irons in my shop. I know there is a knife sharpening attachment for it for around 60.00 dollars. Is this attachment what we are talking about?

I'm partial to Smiths CERAMIC EDGE PRO ELECTRIC KNIFE SHARPENER and for hunting/camping the JIFFY-Pro Handheld Sharpener

No.  It's its own unit.  I sharpned a dozen fillet knives last night, and none have ever been sharper......even new.  Best piece of gear I've purchased in a looooong time.

Isnt it sweet!? Did you just get it? When I first got it I was running around the house sharpening everything. I would like to get the big one for shop tools & all that but I just dont think I would use it very much - but I would have the deadliest shovels in my whole neighborhood, thats for sure!

Yep.  Bought is a few weeks ago for my dad.  I'm a terrible knife sharpener and he's very good with a steel, so he always does my knives.  Just kept getting tired of a bunch of friends telling me how I was missing out not having a Work Sharp, so I bought him one.  He wasn't too impressed, and it sat for a couple weeks in the box.  Finally I went up and pulled it out and he gave me a crap garden knife to sharpen (because of course "I was gonna f it up").  After the quick sharpening, he was impressed and went inside to eat dinner.  I then pulled his fillet knives out and proceeded to make each one sharper than they've ever been.  Including a Havalon fillet knife and a couple big super thin blood groove halibut fillet knives.  I drug them all inside upon completion to show him what an amazing job this thing does.  He had a complete come-apart.  Madder than hell that I touched his fillet knives, and after I made him feel the sharpness, he was so upset yet confused, that he said they're just too damn sharp!  "I'm gonna have to wear that damn kevlar glove I have now to fillet!"  I left and went home.  Ten minutes ago he called and asked where he could buy one in town, because he had a bud come up with a box of knives and he immediately wanted one reguardless of cost.  Kinda funny how those old boys take to new technology.

i got one of these for my birthday.  i like my knives scary sharp and was a little skeptical at first.  giving it a shot, i'm now a believer.  used it to put a new edge on a lot of cheap knives that have been used and abused over the years, edges knicked etc.  i can't do a much better job with a diamond stone and steel.

it worked wonders on my fillet knives, something i'm very picky about.  i use dexter-russels and the edges tend to get pitted if there's any moisture in the air.  the works sharp totally restored the edges and made them better than new in my opinion.

Update, just got the work sharp portable unit. I ran it side by side against my three stage chef's choice sharpener and the clear winner in all categories was? Well let's just say the chefs choice will be sold.

I have a Chef's Choice commercial series - similar to the newer 120's and sportsman version.  I love it.  I sharpen all the kitchen knives about 1 per quarter and camping knives once per year and buchering & hunting knives multiple times depending upon how many animals need to be butchered.  I got it as a gift about 4 or 5 years ago, and since have bought one as a gift for my dad.  I have seen some of the cheaper ones die from too much use, but the stainless bodied ones seem to hold up well.

Where can I find one? I'm on a time crunch so I probably could not order one of the web. Is this something you could find at Bed Bath and Beyond or something?

[Crunchy]

You should be able to find them at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot etc

Got a work sharp last month. Works great!

I used a friends work sharp last weekend while cutting my elk.  Never even heard of the thing but I was impressed! I will be buying one for myself in the near future.

Wonder how many times you see Bed Bath and Beyond on Hunt Wa?? 

I haven't researched this much, but have been eyeing the Cabelas electric models, any input on those?

OK you guy's just cost me a $100 bill. If you order look for the TV special as it gets you free shipping a belt set and a couple other things for only $10 more than the unit itself.
Now if it works like you all say I be happy.
