Welcome to my WorkSharpEasy website. You may have met me at a hunting, fishing or gun show. Or maybe a friend sent you a link to this app, or you found it through a social media site. But however you got here, welcome!!
I demonstrate and sell the Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpeners. There are several different models of the Work Sharp sharpeners. You can see the latest model, the “Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener – Ken Onion Edition”, in the photo at the top of this page. It’s an amazing machine, and to see it in action, watch the video below:
The very first Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener came out many years ago (in 2009) and became a favorite for general sharpening of outdoor knives, kitchen knives, scissors & garden tools. It sold over 1.5 million units. Watch the next video to see a demonstration of the Original Work Sharp:
The Original Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener was replaced with a New & Improved version in April, 2021. It’s called the “WSKTS Mark 2” (or WSKTS2). This new sharpener is a much-anticipated upgrade to the Original Work Sharp Sharpener. It now has a larger, more powerful motor, two speeds, and an “all-in-one” 20° and 25° sharpening guide. It also has a 65° scissor guide. It still uses the original 1/2” x 12” belts of the Original sharpener in three grits: 80, 220 and 6000 (2 of each). It includes a User’s Guide and a Quick Start Guide. Additional sanding belt kits are available (see listing in this store). It will consistently bring your outdoor, kitchen and filet knives to razor sharp. It also sharpens your garden tools, axes, scissors, and a whole lot more! It’s fast, consistent, powerful, fun and easy! See it in the Store (link at top of this page).
ADVANCED TRAINING VIDEOS: The sharpeners come with a Users Guide, a Quick Start Guide and links to online videos. These cover basic training, and you should read, study and watch them in order to get good results with your sharpener. But I’ve created 24 Advanced Training Videos that will help you to get razor-sharp edges every time, and that will give you tips, advice and troubleshooting information that will help if you want to become expert with your sharpening skills. To see these videos, click on the “Videos” tab at the top of any webpage (also found in the right-hand sidebar under “Website Pages”).

The Work Sharp is different than other sharpeners that are sold to the public. It’s a “slack belt” system, a minature version of the same belt sharpeners that the pro sharpeners and custom knife makers use. It gives what’s called a “convex grind” rather than a “V profile”. The convex profile is what the Samurai sword makers put on their blades. It gives an edge that cuts with very little resistance because it’s convex shoulders push material away from the blade when cutting, rather than up the shoulders (as with the V profile). Also the blades stay sharper longer, and with the final 3000 grit or 6000 grit honing belts, you can get a razor sharp edge every time! It doesn’t peel metal off your blades, like many home sharpeners do. It’s a non-agressive method and only takes off a minimum of metal. It takes an average of 3 to 5 minutes to bring a dull knife to razor sharp, around 10 minutes to remove large nicks and damage, and an average of 1 minute to resharpen your knife. And it’s fun and easy! You’ll become a sharpening expert in no time!
The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion Edition is our top powered sharpener. It’s a pro level sharpener designed to sharpen every knife you own with speed, ease and repeatability. You don’t need to be a pro to use it. By following the instructions in the included User Guide and watching the videos, you’ll have very sharp knives from the start. Using a fully adjustable precision sharpening guide (15° to 30° in 1° increments), a more powerful variable speed motor and larger premium flexible abrasive belts, it sharpens pocket & hunting knives, kitchen knives and any other shape or type of blade. It also sharpens serrated knives, household scissors, broadheads, lawnmower blades, machetes, axes, shovels and performs many other tool sharpening tasks. Professional blade makers like Ken Onion use flexible belts to put a razor sharp edge on their blades, now you can have the same technology in your home or shop. Work Sharp Engineered and Ken Onion Designed to deliver the pinnacle of knife sharpening to your home or shop. Scroll up to the top of this page and watch a video on it. See it in the Store (link at top of this page).
And I sell the “Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener.” It’s light, compact, pocketable, doesn’t use electricity and is perfect when you’re out in the woods, on the lake, or anywhere away from civilization. I now have it in stock, and you’ve got to check it out! Watch the next video to see it in action. And while you’re at it, watch my new Guided Field Sharpener “how-to” video on my “Videos” page on this website (see “Videos” tab at the top of each page).
All these sharpeners are made by Darex LLC in Ashland, Oregon, the same company that makes the Drill Doctor (for drill bit sharpening) and the Work Sharp 3000 (used by woodworkers). They get extremely good reviews from both pros and regular folks. You just may want to purchase your very own Work Sharp!!
And I sell extra abrasive belts in several grits for the above powered sharpeners, including the Original Work Sharp sharpener, and I have some parts.
I give discounts and ship anywhere in the USA. Just go to the “Store” page and you can place an order for your new sharpener, and I’ll ship it to you.

You’re welcome, Bryan! Stay sharp!
Hi – Would like a Ken Onion model and possibly a set of replacement belts.
What is the best price, shipping included to SoCal 92173, that you can give to a Vietnam veteran? (yep, got documentation and would gladly email a copy to you !)
Thanks
Hi John,
You emailed me yesterday saying you would like to purchase a Ken Onion Edition sharpener and a possible extra set of belts. If you purchased from my website, the price would be $139.95 for the sharpener, plus $14.95 for the extra belts, plus $12.00 for shipping plus sales tax (8.00%). If you bought just the sharpener, it would total $163.15. If you bought the sharpener plus the belts, it would be $179.29. What I can do for you is take another $10.00 off the total price, but only if you call me by phone (not from the Store on my website). So it would be $153.15 or $169.29, depending on whether you want the extra belts or not. And I would then mail it to you. But another way would be for you to meet me at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds this weekend. That would save you the $12 shipping, but you’d have to pay for parking and admission at the show. Go to the “Shows” page on my website to get more information on the show this weekend.
Thank you,
Doug Holser
