Work Sharp MK2 Electric Knife Sharpener – Adjustable 2-Speed Knife Sharpening System for Kitchen Knives, Pocket Knives, Scissors, Axes & Garden Tools

I bought the very first version of the electric sharpener when they were new to the market and used it for over a decade. I had to replace the bands obviously due to use and had to replace the guards once time due to wear from the thousands of times a knife blade was pulled through them. That being said, over 10 years later, I still have that device and it runs like the day I got it. This week I upgraded to the MK2 design finally and what a change that was. I had no clue just how much easier it would be to use and how much better it would sharpen my knives in the kitchen. With the MK2 I don't need to have any skill really, no special knowledge of knife sharpening, nothing more than being able to pull a knife across a belt at a similar speed. I was able to sharpen knives that have been beaten to death in just a few minutes to literally shave my arm. I was shocked. I think one of the biggest factors is the accuracy of the blade guide vs the old model. The Mk2 does a great job at putting the blade exactly where it needs to be to get that perfect burr and then again to get that laser sharp edge we usually only see on high dollar knives or knives the first time we use them. Even my old cleaver is razer sharp now after just a few minutes. I think it took maybe 10 pulls on the grinder belt, then 10 more on the fine finishing belt and I was done. I had to warn the family to be careful with the knives as they are sharp again. Being so easy to set up means it only takes me a moment to get the device on the table and ready for action. This means I will use it more often to maintain my sharp knives. If its a pain to set up and becomes a task I am not going to resharpen as often. This tool removes all that worry. I find myself even taking it our just to put a fresh edge on my finer knives before I cut a nice meat or carve a bird. Sure there are way to get even sharper knives but that is for people who enjoy the art of knife sharpening. A lot of folks really do enjoy the satisfaction of a wet stone and metal and years of skill producing an amazing edge. If you are that person, this isn't your tool. But if you are like most folks and want to be able to make chef sharp kitchen knives with no skill, no learning time, no practice, and minimal effort, this is your tool for sure. I really love this MK2 and can't wait to use it for years to come.

The Work Sharp MK2 is hands down one of the best sharpening systems I’ve used. It’s simple, consistent, and delivers razor-sharp edges fast. The adjustable speed and angle guides make it easy to get professional results without guesswork. I’ve used it on pocket knives, kitchen knives, and even tougher steels, and it handles everything smoothly. The motor is strong but controlled, and the build quality feels solid and durable. For the price, the performance is outstanding. If you want sharp blades without spending hours learning complicated techniques, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend.

Excellent, easy to use

Very easy to use. I need to use it more, it did fairly well on my favorite pocket knife. Not quite as good as I was hoping for. But I think I need to experiment with different grit belts. We’ll see. Super fast. You’ll spend just a few minutes to sharpen a knife. I would recommend this. Great price for what you get. Usage I would give it 5 out of 5. The 4 is a the edge. But again, I need to use it more. I’m fairly sure sharpness will improve

Great knife sharpener. Easy to get your knives sharp. It took me maybe 2 minutes to get all my knives sharp. Changing the sanding belts is easy and fast.

Fast and easy knife sharpener. Takes all the guess work out of it. Gets knife at the right angle for a easy sharpener.

Great product! Easy to use and very effective! buy additional belt pack at the same time. the pack will keep you going longer and it includes additional, more intermediate, sanding grits that are not shipped with this product. In fact the included belts should be considered a "starter pack", just to get you going. I bought a leather strop as well which is indispensable for a truly sharp blade. If money is no object get the elite version, it's awesome. someday...

I have 9 or 10 knife sharpeners. I buy them. I'm dissatisfied. And they get put in a cabinet never to be used again. THIS ONE IS AWESOME! I'll never buy another knife sharpener because this is exactly what I've been looking for. In just a few passes it gets my knives sharp enough for the paper test, which we all know is the holy grail of knife sharpener testing. It's not foolproof. Learning to use it properly took about 5 minutes. But once I figured it out, every knife in the house got sharpened. I spent the next hour sharpening 25 or 30 knives, and I didn't even wear out one set of belts.

Excelente opcion para afilar cuchillos perpendicular al filo como de fabrica. No es muy ruidoso Es facil de usar La banda solo gira en una dirección pero tiene dos ranuras para afilar ambos lados del cuchillo... De todos los sistemas y maquinas que he usado para afilar este es el mejor. Yo no se mantener el angulo como para afilar con piedras por eso este es mejor y rapido Recomiendo comprar mas bandas y de diferente grano

I've tried all kinds of knife sharpening tools in my life, but this one is a complete game-changer. It got all my dull knives razor-sharp in minutes, whereas previously it would take hours. I like my knives sharp, but I don't have time to sharpen them every time they lose their edge. This tool now allows me to bring my knife back to life in under two minutes, and that's including taking it out of the box and plugging it into the socket.

Tolles Gerät, unbedingt ein Set Schleifbänder mitbestellen verbrauchen sich rasch.

Let me get the negative out the way, Amazon state this is 110v it isn’t it’s 230v 50hz eu standard. Now this didn’t harm me I’m just glad I read some of the comments where 1 individual stated it was 230v and was the sole reason I bought it as I live in the UK. Now to what should have been the only thing I was going to type this tool is absolutely awesome it does exactly what it should I have no prior experience with this tool or anything like it the instructions are easy to follow and precise and my knifes are now razor sharp if you have been pondering just buy it.

The company's Youtube channel has a great tutorial video that makes this product less intimidating to use for the first time. Great compact design. Quiet. Quick process. Multiple grades of sand belts included, which were easy to switch out. Bilateral blade guide for easy use. Most importantly, great results - exceptionally sharp blades. Highly recommend. It'll make you want to sharpen every blade in your home!
