Guided Field Sharpener – WSGFS221 Portable Outdoor Multi Knife and Tool Sharpener – Compact Travel Manual Guided Professional Sharpening Tool for Knives

I've used a set of sharpening stones (arkansas type) for years, but was never really that good with them due to the difficulty maintaining the angle - still got knives sharp enough but never quite that scalpel level of sharpness. Recently got into multitools and pocket knives a bit deeper and found the stones difficult to use to reach the whole blade without scuffing the side of the tool so looked what the internet wisdom recommended, hence bought this Work Sharp jobby.Have to say, I've sharpened every blade I can find using this now. Having the range of diamond plates, ceramic rods, and the strop in such a compact and self-contained package is a huge plus, very convenient. It sharpens extremely well, and easily, with the diamond plate guides at 20-degrees, and then the ceramic rod guides are set to put a 25 degree micro bevel on - something I could never have done using stones.The weak point overall, and I'm really looking for something to say, is purely due to the compromise of the whole design and trying to fit so much in. The leather for the stropping is relatively small, so on almost all but the smallest of blades, is difficult to strop the full length of the blade in one pass - you have to sort of strop half way up the blade a few times, and then move on to the other half of the blade, then switch to the other side of the blade and do the same. I already have a dedicated big strop which I've been using for the larger kitchen knives as these just aren't really effectively done on the Work Sharp, but it would be okay if you have the patience.Overall I'd rate this a 9.5 on a scale of 10, it truly is wonderful and would be more than capable for most people. I'd buy again in an instant and hope they never discontinue this product.Bonus points also, that Work Sharp apparently sell spares so you could replace the plates when required, in theory (not sure how available spares are in the UK).A very good product.

I own a number of knives, mostly outdoor knives of different sizes, and im fairly new to sharpening with whet stones and the like. Previously i had bought a whetstone which did not do the job to well for me, partly down to my inexperience and partly down to the fact that it was the wrong grit and material for the steel i wanted to sharpen (even though it said on the listing it was the right one for the job). I found it a minefield with so many options for whet stones, they were messy and easy to mess up your knife edge. This tool however i have found to be the opposite of that. It works GREAT on S30V steels, and has loads of options all in one tidy place. It did an excellent job, was very easy to use - having a leather strop included is great and its VERY good value for money. Highly recommend this for people that just want to get great results with no mess or fuss. Its very portable, easy to clean and can sharpen anything, serrated edges, axes, arrow broad heads, fish hooks and perfect for pocket knives or varying lengths. Great work WorkSharp

Previously I tried using whetstone to sharpen the knifes, but keeping consistent angle seemed an impossible task so I gave up.Now, I have spent 2 hours researching sharpeners and wanted to go with a tungsten carbide V shape one as both me and my wife could use it. But reading the damage caused to knifes, I continued the research on.After one Youtube video recommended to try out this model speaking highly of it, I received it today. All 10 knifes are tomato-certified-sharp. Would need to work on my angle stability and get a feel for how long each stage needs to last to perfect the tool. Ie. 3 strokes vs 6 strokes before moving to leather, etc.Nevertheless, wholeheartedly recommend as a beginner 9/10 to a friend.I loved that the coarsest diamond grit is included as it helped to speed up the process for dull knifes. Also, my two-side serrated knife would be impossible to sharpen without the round ceramic surfaces - no problem here.One downside is the smaller size of it. I am not an outdoor person, so I would buy a larger version of the tool in an instant. But it got the job done building the burr over multiple passes.I am not touching my Japanese knifes for now, need to build the skill and figure out how to sharpen that 10 degree angle and single side edge only.Another downside: because it's smallish, it's hard to maintain the angle if I want to keep edge away from myself to be on the safe side. For larger knifes, you have to hold the edge and the handle with both hands for stability, so I need to figure out how to stop the sharpener from moving on the surface.Tip 1: as per instructional video, be super careful not to have any burr with serrated knife when moving to the last leather stage. I scratched my leather at places, so a lesson learned. Work on the ceramic side until no burr is remaining.Tip 2: watch the official instructional video on youtube, it's good and provides many potential pitfalls. Some other videos by youtubers seem confident, but I lost trust in them when I saw them not alternating sides on the ceramic/leather side for burr removal, etc.

I had trouble for years sharpening knives. This is a game changer. Blades sharper now then they were new.

Sharpens knives very well, the multi grit surfaces helps to get a fine edge. The ceramic rod was slightly damaged out of the box, but different prove to be much of a problem as I was able to sand this down myself to make it functional, ensuring it didn’t cause any fine scratches. Overall happy with my purchase.

Nice compact field sharpenerLight weight and fits in a pocket if requiredSeems to be solidly made with hard plasticsOnly needs a few sweeps for a fast touch up of an edge

Great sharpener, I cannot fault it. Worth the money. I use mine for small carry knife but it will sharpen bigger stuff without issue.

Well worth the investment. Essential kit for bushcraft. Very easy to use and consistent results.

Alors que dire, j'ai du tormek, des systèmes d'aiguisage avec Pierre montée sur un axe, j'ai tout ce qui se fait dans le domaine de l'aiguisage, je fabrique des couteaux donc j'ai des machines à c bandes abrasives enfin bref la seul chose que je n'avais pas et c'est un comble c'est un système d'aiguisage portable et peu encombrant. Je n'en voulais pas car j'avais le top à la maison mais là bluffé par l'efficacité de ce petit système.J'ai commencé par un petit couteau d'office, et la façon de faire est très intuitive pour même une personne qui débuterait. J'ai fais 15 passe sur chaque pierre de chaque côté de la lame, quelques passes sur la pierre en céramique et passage sur le cuir dont je me suis permis d'y rajouter un peu de pâte verte et la à ma grande surprise mon couteau qui était vraiment plus aiguisé et devenu tranchant rasoir en même pas 1 minute.Je devais refaire une dizaine de couteaux de cuisine mais je n'avais pas le temps de la semaine pour aller jusqu'à mon atelier et régler ma machine et la grâce à cette affûteur en 20 min mes dix couteaux étaient fait. Après le fil de la lame n'était pas abîmé non plus ce qui aide pour un aiguisage rapide.Et alors que dire du prix, moitié prix par apport au site officiel.

Simpel, enkel och riktigt bra. Slipade upp min Civivi Elementum i 14C28N tills den kunde skära kurvor i papper och raka bort hår från armen. Man har allt man behöver, följ bara instruktionerna som följer med så är det inga problem. Viktigt: tålamod, lita på processen. Ha inte för bråttom om du vill ha ett exceptionellt resultat.
