Professional Knife Sharpener- VIPON 3 Stage Diamond Coated Sharpening With Ceramic Rod - Non-slip Base Sharpening Knife Easy To Control -Knife Sharpening

Granted i was skeptical of this at first, i don't believe a lot i see on TV. All i can say is wow, this things works awesome and fast (for knifes that have an angle that is close, if not it just takes a little longer to get it roughed in) I sharpened my first knife in about 15 min, getting use to the machine and holding everything correctly. after that is was about a min or two per knife. I did about 15 roughing them all in and then honing them all after that. i had one knife that took about 15-20 because the angle of the blade was to great and I was hitting the sides first before i got it to the point. it even sharped my friends big meat cleaver.All my knives are much sharper and they hold there edge longer. i use to spend 30+ min a knife sharpening them to get them razor sharp. now i can do it in a matter of min from start to finish

This is a really good sharpening system. I am able to get outstanding results on knives, axes, and lawnmower blades. It is easy to use and seems to well made. Two areas that could make the rating higher would be to improve the guides for knives to allow sharpening to the tip with rolling the tip edge and better pricing on replacement belts or longer lasting belts.

I bought this to sharpen broad heads. Its a waste of money. Tried scissors it failed. Knives it's ok at best but not near as easy as the video shows.

If you have a drawer full of older knives that simply need a good sharpening; then this well-made product will suffice and I think you will be pleased. Equally, yard tools and lawnmower blades can no doubt be sharpened to your satifaction. However, if you are like me and many of your blade stock includes Benchmade, Spyderco and other higher end cutlery, then you probably won't like this tool.Yes, I watched the included DVD segment and diligently practiced on a couple of plain edge steak knives that had been sitting in the back of a kitchen drawer. I also tried the Work Sharp on a larger military field knife. My results were just OK, nothing more and this was after several minutes were devoted to each blade. And unfortunately, I ground off too much steel at the point of an old Case Shark Tooth. I knew to lift the blade from the device just before the tip hit the belt, but because of the sharp sweep or narrowing of the blade, I damaged the tip anyway because the included guilde does not take into account the height of the particular blade near the tip--very narrow blades tend to twist in the guide. No problem with straight blade, but contours are not treated well.The concept here is good but you'll find the Work Sharp is not the end-all to sharpening your blades, especially your higher-end, "carry" knives.

Not overly impressed yet. Went on a week long fishing trip in Canada and fileted up a lot of fish - constantly looking for a sharp filet knife. This tool didn't really perform very well on the older (long ago dull) knives - wouldn't get them sharp enough to even cut through the skin of walleye. It did work well on new (unused until this trip) knives - it keep them sharp pretty nicely.I probably buy it again at a sharply discounted price. There's no way I'd pay anywhere near the suggested list price of 200.00 though.

Wow. I'm a sharpening dork and have almost every system out there. Let me just say right off the bat that this is the best knife sharpening system I've ever used. Out of the box I took the time to read the instructions, and within half an hour I had a couple of hunting and folding knifes done, as well as all the kitchen knifes. They were quick to sharpen, and they're all hair-shaving sharp. I can't wait to put some 1 micron diamond paste on a worn belt to see what kind of results that produces. It makes me giddy to think about. I haven't even used out the first set of belts yet, but I'm going to order some more because I anticipate using this a lot. As a side note, I also use their woodworking tool sharpener (ws3000) and it does the same thing for my chisels as this does for my knifes. Darex makes good stuff, you should support them.

I always looked for a knife sharpener that was easy and dose the job. Well I found it at last this work sharp is awesome and sharpened my knives the almost like when I bought them new sharp and smooth edge. I use it all the time and its easy, fast and well made. The storage bag is convenient and takes all most of the gadgets in it.If your looking for a none industrial knife and tool sharpener and for a reasonable price then this one is for you I give it 10 out 10 so far

If you do buy this unit, it is well made... But, practice by buying a few cheap knives to get the hang of it. I fortunately started on a cheap knife, did great, went to an expensive one, made a mistake that didn't seem possible, took off enough of the blade coating in the process to make myself scared of this unit for a month or two. This is definitely a great setup, once you get the hang of it... I'm not a newbie to sharpening, but I am a newbie to belt sharpening with guides. I like the diamond hone in this kit the best so far, but maybe I'll regain my trust and build some skill with this unit.OVERALL, it sharpens kitchen knives razor sharp, but with the 'hunting' knife sharpening attachment, you'll have to be careful, take your time and learn what blade grinds aren't a good idea to run through this unit before making your precious FOX Cuttlery(FKMD) knife ugly and like it's seen some sort of strange combat. :'(
