Knife Sharpeners

Our systems make sharpening easy—even for beginners.

• Select the correct sharpening angle using the adjustable guide 
• Start with a coarser grit and move to finer abrasives 
• For the Rolling Knife Sharpener, let the roller guide your stroke evenly 
• Finish with the fine grit or honing rod for a razor-sharp edge 

Full how-to videos and guides are available in our Gallery and Blog.

Pocket knives are easily sharpened using the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener 2.2.1 or the Precision Adjust system.

• Use angle guides (typically 20° for everyday carry knives)
• Apply light, even pressure along the blade
• For serrated pocket knives, use a fine diamond rod included in some models

Yes. For serrated or bread knives:

• Use a tapered ceramic rod or fine grit rod, available in select models
• Lightly stroke each serration groove at its original angle

Avoid flattening the serration tips for best performance
Our kits and field sharpeners include components to handle specialty blades.
