Ken Onion Work Sharp and it's been great. But with my WS, I can sharpen several knives in the time it takes to do one with my Lansky. I was apprehensive about the WS, but I practiced on some cheap kitchen knives. Read the instructions and get started. John |

Im the opposite.
I couldnt get the Ken Onion Worksharp to give me good results. Its way easier/faster to mess up a blade with an electric sharpener. I just went all-in on the Lansky system and absolutely love it! |

I recommend the blade grinding attachment for the Ken Onion Work Sharp.
As was posted earlier, I too couldn’t get the results I wanted with just the K.O. After getting the blade grinding attachment too I get much better results. I go from heel to tip and back the heel. Making sure to stop when the tip is in the middle of the belt. |

Posted in gd before I realized this would be a better place. I'm going to sell my lansky kit. I got it a while back and haven't even used it for fear I'll mess up my blades. Plus I've got a few larger knives that are probably too big for the system. I'm looking for something to get my knives SHARP, and then maybe I can learn the art of stropping or polishing to make it unreal sharp. Can I get something decent for for around $150? Thanks in advance It seems that something like the Spyderco Sharp Maker, or any quality chock stick set-up will be a better choice for you. If you can't get the Lansky set to work, you're probably not going to get the WorkShop, or other systems to work well. Good chock sticks will put a nice edge on many blades that are in good shape to begin with and don't need reprofiling, unless you're a drunk with the shakes. Chris |

For that money I'd get a Harbor Freight 1x30 belt grinder and a few belts, if you're set on a powered system. Stones are much quieter, don't throw dust everywhere, and last longer than belts.

Get a three stone Smith.
Learn how to hold the proper angle. Learn what a burr is and the importance of it and how to create and polish it off carefully while maintaining the proper angles. Listen to your blade, be sensitive to it. Stroke it softly, carefully, eagerly. Become one with the blade, become a man.

I haven't touched my Lansky since picking up my KO Work Sharp.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a leather stropping belt for it. |
