Excellent sharpener. I highly recommend it. I needed to sharpen kitchen knives. Wow, what a difference! I gradually got used to them getting duller. Having an actual long hone would be better than using the little one mounted on the machine. But it did knock the burr off and they're literally better than new.

I read some of the other product reviews and was struck by how many people seem to misunderstand what they bought. Used properly this is a handy contraption. It's a lot less capable than the full-sized Ken Onion edition - but with patience you can achieve a lot. This is not a replacement for a full-size belt grinder. If you're a knife maker it probably could put an edge on a knife blank you DIY'd, but it's going to take a long time on this little unit. The motor is not very powerful, the belt is small and it is spinning pretty slow. If you press the knife with any significant pressure into the belt it will slow the machine down - but that's not how it's supposed to be used. It is better to make more passes with only very light pressure than to press hard or move the blade very slowly to grind extra material. I also like to lift the blade away from the belt once it reaches the tip. If you pull it all the way out it is easy to round the tip (and you'll read lots of complaints about this if you google it). The first time you sharpen a knife it is also important to realize you may be changing the factory grind angle. Especially for kitchen knifes which often have a very steep angle and a delicate edge. Outdoor knives are more likely to already be at or around the angle this machine is set too because they need to stand up to more abuse. Even for kitchen knives though, I'd rather use this belt than those other powered sharpeners that use abrasive stones. Once the angle is set, you won't need to grind as much the next time. Here's a few tricks to maximize utility. 1. It comes with a single, non-adjustable preset sharpening angle of 25 degrees. However, you can sharpen at any angle if you find some way to hold the knife steady by hand. The easiest second angle to achieve is to hold the knife vertical for a steeper angle relative to the belt - such as for kitchen knives (though it can be tricky to do this steadily on a long blade). 2. Even though the tool is low-powered, it is still basically a mini belt grinder. I remove the guide and use it for non-knife stuff too. E.g. sharpening drill bits, putting a new tip on my awl, fixing up marred flat blade screwdrivers, sharpening gasket scrapers, smoothing small parts etc. The slow speed of the belt and low power can actually be a benefit - you can work slowly. 3. Work sharp doesn't sell replacement belts in any other grits - but you can find them. The belt size is 1/2" x 10". Here's a link to a set I bought: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07ZF31KY1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm sure Worksharp offers only one grit on purpose to discourage people from using this base-model unit instead of paying for the better and more expensive versions. The other versions are more powerful and offer more angle options - but with patience and different belt grits I'm confident I'm achieving similar results. 4. The hone is also meant to be used gently. Avoid the temptation to push down hard. Better to do 20 super light passes than 3 where you push hard. You're just making sure the edge burr is lined up straight. That's easier to get correct with some light touches than potentially pushing it back and forth with forceful passes on alternating sides.

be aware of power 120v -60hz ... not compatible with middle east and gulf countries power type but I used skross adapter and worked fine
