Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener Kit, Sharpens All Pocket and Kitchen Knives with ease & control

My mother and I collect a ton of knives, though as far as sharpening them I’ve never really paid much attention to. I’ve noticed a ton of them beginning to be very dull, so I purchased this since I don’t like any of the other sharpening tools I have. Man it’s so easy to use, you can set your angle so easy and just get to work. Can sharpen quite a few knives quickly with this. The quality is great I was concerned about the magnet but it’s solid as heck I’ve had no issues with large knives or small knives. I highly recommend this product.

This is hands down one of the best knife sharpeners I’ve ever used. I’ve tried whetstones in the past, and while I could get a knife “sharp,” I could never truly grasp maintaining the correct angle consistently. Because of that, my results were always hit or miss — sharp, but never this sharp. With this sharpener, the difference is night and day. The guided angle system takes all the guesswork out, and the results are honestly machine-sharp. I’ve never had pocket knives this sharp before. I actually have to be extra careful now, because the edge this puts on a blade is no joke. Even the V-block comes with an insert that literally says “You will be creating incredibly sharp knives. Please handle with care.” — and that ain’t no joke. Just following the system gives you a dangerously sharp edge. The process is simple, controlled, and repeatable. If you’ve struggled with whetstones or inconsistent results in the past, this completely solves that problem. Fantastic tool. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

I have a few knives for EDC and for my workshop, as well as the usual kitchen knife set. I’ve never been happy with the performance of my little Smith’s 2-step, coarse and fine, knife sharpener. I’ve tried using a stone and failed miserably. . After field dressing a deer, this Fall, wishing all the while my knife was sharper, I decided to check out some knife sharpener reviews on YT. The Work Sharp Precision Adjust seemed excellent value at just $60, had great reviews and was simple to operate. I ordered it. . The Work Sharp Precision Adjust is indeed very easy to use. The knife holder has some flexibility to it but to use this sharpener correctly, you do not apply pressure to the stone on the blade. Let the stone do the work. You just move it back and forth. The flex therefore becomes negligible. . My first attempt to sharpen my fixed blade deer knife was good but disappointing in that I couldn’t slice through a sheet of paper. It was sharp but not the promised sharpness. I couldn’t establish the original angle off the cutting edge since I’d changed it with my failed, manual, diamond stone sharpenings. I essentially had to reprofile the edge. This is where I found the Work Sharp Precision Adjust was lacking. It took forever with the lowest grit of 320. Eventually, I sort of got there. Same with my next knife and similarly with my small kitchen knives. All needed some reprofiling. A day or so later, after watching yet more videos, I revisited my knives. This time, I was able to spend a little less time and managed to achieve that awesome paper slice. I think I was able to refine the new profile this time, having remembered the angles I’d used, and didn’t get frustrated like the first time. I also used a 15x loupe to see the edge detail. That’s now a permanent accessory in my sharpening kit. . I concluded that 320 grit was just too fine for an effective reprofile, especially on a longer knife, or one heavily chipped. . I considered returning the $60 Work Sharp Precision Adjust and buying the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite kit for another $60 more. The coarser 220 grit included in that kit would no doubt make reprofiling a lot quicker. Then I reckoned that it was just as cost effective, if not more so, to keep what I had and order the upgrade kit. Yes, that is $80 more. However, I keep the existing 320/600/ceramic sharpener from the original Adjust, adding another 3 sharpeners, with one set being an extra of what I already have. You can order new stones for around $7 each. So, I’m actually getting a spare set of 320, 600 and ceramic stones, including another holder, for only $20, versus over $21 for just three individual stones. Better value to spend the $140 for the Adjust and the upgrade kit than the $120 Elite. . Tonight, I used my now-upgraded kit on another folding knife I keep in my truck. I’ve never sharpened that one and it was pretty blunt. I used a Sharpie pen to help establish the cutting edge profile – 25 deg. Starting at 220 grit, it didn’t take long to make the first pass. I moved through each of the stones, refining the edge each time and finished off with the strop. I already have a large strop but the Worksharp strop, keeping the exact edge angle used to sharpen, makes the final step a no-issue breeze. You won’t easily get a mirror polish finish, (that will take more time with the finer stones and ceramic) but without the loupe, the cutting edge looks shiny, clean and it’s razor sharp. That’s all I’m after! . I think that, for the money, this is one of the best sharpeners out there. It’s easy to use once you try it a couple times, and the results are awesome! I do suggest you get the upgrade kit though. Whether you buy the Adjust plus the Upgrade kit, or the Elite itself, you will need those additional stones for reprofiling with ease.

I came across this thing as a fluke and was intrigued. I had a Lansky years ago that I just could not get results with and I ended up giving it away and thought this was a retread. Conceptually it is the same. You lock the blade in place and the abrasives are guided, leading you to a consistent and clean edge. This entire set up is just easier to use. I added the lapping films and feathering adhesive and was very impressed with the results. I sharpened a PM2 with an S30V blade and a TAD Dauntless with an S35VN blade. The PM2 was a bit tougher to line up due to the blade shape, but once I realized the key was consistency, I locked it in and started at 20 degrees. From there I fine tuned the blade and took it through the ceramic stone and was very impressed with how well the knife cut. You develop a rhythm and technique and it does have a "feel" component. Once you feel a burr, flip the knife and do it again, hopefully near your first count of strokes but if you lose count, raise the burr on the other side and go to the next abrasive. It really is easy to use and the ceramic plate as the finest grit will be perfectly okay for most people. That will be the sharpest knife they've had or done themselves. If you want to go to the next level, using lapping film on the ceramic stone is easy and very effective. I took it to a 2500 grit and got a mirror polish on both the Dauntless and the PM2. The change in how the Dauntless performed was amazing. Using the films and adhesive on the ceramic stone is a great upgrade and very simple. A pack of the films is right around 4 bucks in the Wal-Mart automotive section, and I also bought as part of the package here. Not every edge will require a polish and the system is flexible enough to let you try some things with angles and varying grits on different parts of the blade. There are some things this sharpener is not designed to do. That said, for smaller blades, kitchen knives, EDC, etc., it is easy and effective. For larger blades, tools, scissors, and odd shaped blades, that is why you have multiple sharpening options, right? For some items you just can't beat free-handing on water stones, or the guided bench sharpener from work sharp, or even a Sharpmaker For the two knives I sharpened here though, and I did it right out of the box the day I got the sharpener, I've never put a polish on an edge that fast or that well. I also don't think I've ever made a blade edge that sharp. This is not a gimmick and it works well. ————-update 1 May I just finished a ZT 0562 CF with a CTS 204P blade and it put a very nice edge on. Setting the edge with the 320 grit plate took a while, and I relieved the shoulders using the 15 degree position before going to 20 degrees. Once done, using the 600 and ceramic took it to not-quite polished but much sharper than out of the box. Getting a burr took a few minutes but once It was raised, honing it down was easy. Very impressed with the performance on 204P.

Easy to use with great results

Clearly a part missing. Very frustrating now i will have to wait for new one. Update The supplier dealt with the issue right away and sent out the missing part as-well as some other gifts for having this issue. Well done guys and pretty happy with the product it works good might have to watch a few more youtube vids to figure out how to work the device a bit better.

Produto cumpre bem a promessa, é fácil de manusear e de fazer a manutenção, tem que ter um pouco de noção de como fazer, só achei o apoio um pouco “mole” mas nada demais, coloca uma rolha em baixo que está tudo certo. Quebra muito o galho você ter a geometria do ângulo, ainda mais pelo perfil de corte ficar alinhado o que na pedra é necessário muita prática, experiência e noção. Recomendo, acredito que desses afiadores guiados de inicial é muito bom, muito melhor que os chineses mais baratos, claro, não é um Lansky nem um KME, mas cumpre muito bem !

Es un afilador sin igual, simplemente magnífico. Es posible afilar navajas y cuchillos medianos a grandes; las pequeñas navajas Vicrorinox no es posible, son demasiado chicas. El control del ángulo de afilado no tiene igual, yo afilo la mayoría de mis cuchillos a 25°; rara vez afilo a 15° o 20° y prácticamente nunca a 30°. Todo esto es posible con este afilador. Este equipo es delicado, no me parece de uso industrial, para mi es suficiente. Me gustaría tener una gama mas grande de piedras ahora solo tengo los que vienen en la caja, 320, 600, 1200. Será necesario conseguir algunos granos intermedios.

By far the best sharpener ever, it's genius... Unlike Lansky, this can adjust angle at precise setting also while hitting the curves. What could've been perfect, an option to get different grids/spare "Tri-brasive" rods and bigger clamps. I find inconvenient sharpening one of my hunting knife (thick and chunky spine) I will definitely buy another regardless Work Sharp wants to update their product or not.
