Yes, the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Sharpener can sharpen serrated blades. However, you will need the Elite version of the Work Sharp Precision Adjust sharpener since serrated knives require both coarse and fine diamond abrasives to sharpen them. Work Sharp products are designed to be easy to use, even for those new to knife sharpening. They come with clear instructions and often include guides and angle presets that help ensure that you are sharpening at the correct angle, providing consistent results. What is the difference between a precision sharpener and an electric knife sharpener?

The Knife Clamp Collet is built to securely and carefully hold your knife. Your knife is clamped in with jaws that feature a layer of rubber between your knife and the clamp. This extra layer of projection ensures your valuable knife won't get scratched, but it still held tight. The wheel closes the jaws, no tools are needed to secure your knife to the clamp. As with all knife-sharpening tools, I recommend keeping a list of your knives and the angle at which you sharpen them to save time when stropping or re-sharpening in the future. The base model version for the Work Sharp Precision Adjust was designed to be an affordable and efficient way to sharpen a variety of knife styles, including straight-edged knives, serrated knives, and even scissors. As a knife sharpener, its primary function is to sharpen knives using an abrasive belt. It features different grits of belts to allow for coarse to fine sharpening. The sharpener provides for precise angle adjustments using a guide system to ensure a consistent and accurate sharpening angle, maintaining the knife's original edge geometry and sharp edge. Using the knob on top of the sharpening system, you infinitely adjust a sharpening angle from 15 to 30 degrees. Enough to sharpen almost any knife! The sharpening system shows you the sharpening angle of the clamp on the left side in steps of 5 degrees. The sharpening system shows you the sharpening angle of the sharpening table on the left side in steps of 5 degrees.

An electric knife sharpener is a machine that uses motorized grinding wheels or abrasive belts to sharpen knives. The user places the knife into the machine, automatically sharpening the blade. Precision sharpeners can provide more control and precision when sharpening a knife. In contrast, electric sharpeners are generally faster and easier to use but may not offer the same level of precision as a precision sharpener. What is the difference between the Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener and the Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Mk.2? The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener has a smart, practical design. It starts with a plastic platform you can set on a workbench, table, or desk. On that sits an 8-inch-tall tower that houses a screw system to raise and lower the point at which the sharpening rod attaches to the tower. The guided sharpening system allows you to adjust the angle of the abrasive sharpening stones from 15 to 30 degrees in 1-degree increments. This angle versatility lets you get to the same blade edge angle as the designers of your knife intended. How difficult is it to use Work Sharp products? I would imagine that it will work for a long time and seems solid enough. It provides a good alternative to some at a similar price point, such as the Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone System. And compared with the Lansky, the Work Sharp offers an easier platform and more precise edge-setting.

This Precision Adjust features 3 abrasives built into a rotating rod. The first is a coarse diamond (320 grit) that can be used on dull or damaged knives. The medium diamond (600 grit) refines the edge. The fine ceramic will put a very fine edge on your knife. To switch grits, you simply rotate the rod to expose the desired grit. In fall 2020, Work Sharp jumped into the precision sharpening game with a system that will look somewhat familiar to anyone that’s watched the knife market for a while. Meet the Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener. Like the base model of the Work Sharp Precision Adjust, the Elite version easily and efficiently sharpens a wide assortment of knife styles, with the added benefit of more grit options for optimal sharpening. The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Mk.2 is a more advanced and versatile sharpener than the original model it replaces. The Mk.2 features a two-speed electric motor, while the Mk.1 had a fixed motor. The angle guide has been redesigned as well. The Mk.1 model had interchangeable guides, while the Mk.2 combines these into a single switchable guide with an up-down toggle. They’ve also added an Edge Guide to the tool, which supports the blade along the full travel from tip to heel for a more stable, even edge.The hone itself has three sides: a 320-grit, 600-grit, and a fine ceramic stone. Simply use a little force and turn the stone to the appropriate sharpening grit. The sharpening stone holder contains a handle to make sure your hand never gets close to the sharp edge of your knives. The steel guiding rod has a screw thread that you use to screw it into the sharpening system. The metal guiding rod is long enough to also allow you to sharpen longer kitchen knives. For example, chef's knives, carving knives or filleting knives. The guiding rod has rubber rings that you slide over it. This determines how far you can slide the sharpening stone holder over the guide rod. Choosing which version to get would depend entirely on your knife collection. If you own a wide variety of knife and blade styles, the the Elite system would be the wiser choice since it comes with a complete set of sharpening stones. It's also worth noting that not all serrated knives can be sharpened with the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Sharpener. The sharpener is designed for blades with serrations with uniform width and spacing. If your serrated knife has irregular serrations or teeth of different sizes, it may not be suitable for sharpening with this type of sharpener. Are Work Sharp products made in the USA? I used the sharpener on kitchen knives and outdoor knives for the last couple of months. While I think it’s an effective tool, it does have some downfalls. Pros

However, the Work Sharp system keeps the price down by using lighter materials and plastics, compared with more expensive, professional alternatives.

When he geeks out about technical details and specifications, his enthusiasm for these subjects is contagious. Building upon the best-selling Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener™ – The Precision Adjust ELITE™ is an angle adjustable, seven abrasive grit, knife sharpening system that delivers precision and repeatability for the discerning edge enthusiast who wants the best in manual sharpening. Cons: The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite is a complete sharpening system, which puts it at a higher price point than the base model version.

The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener can be set to any angle between 15 and 30 degrees. Unlike systems that have a few holes to approximate the angle you want, the Precision Adjust has a knob to adjust your angle. If you want to add an extra degree or two, you simply turn the knob. The goal of many modern knife sharpeners is to hold a repeatable edge angle between hone and knife steel. By doing this, the knife-sharpening tool removes a lot of human error and dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes to learn to sharpen a blade well. Work Sharp’s Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener works by clamping the knife securely into place with the included blade clamp, setting the angle of Work Sharp’s Tri-Brasive sharpening Rods (either using fine grit or coarse grit), and using them in a sweeping motion to sharpen the knife, moving the abrasive up from the cutting edge while moving slowly side to side. Using a downward sweep when honing will help finish the edge nicely. What it’s meant for
