Dear Mr. Carmona: From the first time I spoke to you by telephone, I have been greatly impressed by your willingness, even your eagerness to take your time from your own personal activities to assist me. While we call it a knife sharpener, it does more than just sharpen knives.

It has a guided system for sharpening scissors. We have found this feature to be very useful for sharpening lawnmower blades. By using the P80 grit belt, you can easily sharpen your lawnmower blades, even the mulching blades. This sharpener comes with an excellent manual.

The folks at Work Sharp do a nice job of making the manual very quick and easy to use. This tool plugs in to any V outlet. It can even be used in your car or truck with a small power inverter. One Year Manufacturer's Warranty. We haven't found a knife that can't be sharpened on this sharpener. The guide system for outdoor knives allows very thick blades to be sharpened. On some electric sharpeners, thicker blades can be problematic because the guide system doesn't accommodate thick blades.

We don't recommend it for single bevel Japanese knives and knives sharpened at a less than 20 degree bevel angle. Yes, it does a nice job with gut hooks. The flexible abrasive will get into the tight inside corner of a gut hook. You do need to remove the guide system for this operation. The most difficult concave curve is on a gut hook and the Ken Onion Edition has no trouble with it. With the popularity of Japanese and similarly styled knives, there is a need to sharpen knives to a lower angle.

While some sharpeners only give you a 20 degree angle, the Ken Onion Edition can quickly change all the way down to 15 degrees to match the factory edge on Japanese cutlery.

This versatile sharpener will also tackle scissors and tools. And with a quick rotation of the sharpening cassette, the Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener will sharpen a wide range of common shop and garden tools such as axes, shovels, pruners, and more.

You'll notice the heft and quality construction of this sharpener. If you're familiar with the original Work Sharp Knife Sharpener, you'll notice that the Ken Onion Edition weighs twice as much as the original.

This additional weight comes from the larger variable speed motor, larger overall size and cast metal components. The five belts detailed below offer you a wide range of grits to perform tasks as coarse as grinding and as fine as polishing an edge.

These larger belts are not just wider but also very long lasting. Just a few minutes with this sharpener and you'll immediately notice the difference.

P Grit Belt The P is a coarse belt that can be used for grinding or for fast stock removal from knives. The Norton Norax Belts utilize very consistent aluminum oxide abrasives.

The belts have a depth to the abrasive surface unlike any other belts we carry. The depth to the abrasives allows the abrasives to break away and expose fresh abrasives below. This abrasive configuration allows it to run cooler, last 2 to 5 times longer, leave a very consistent finish and even cut faster. They are just great belts.

This translates to roughly a P grit. This is a coarse belt that can be used for most coarse sharpening needs. This is a fine to medium belt that can be used to refine a coarsely sharpened edge or refine an edge that is starting to dull. This is a very fine belt that can be used to put a very fine edge that is almost mirror polished.

As always, Work Sharp includes great printed instructions with your sharpener.
