Category Archives: How to Sharpen

Three New Videos have been added to the Videos Page

I shot three new “How-To” videos on April 27th while in Ventura, CA. You’ll see them at the top of the list of videos on my “Videos” page. I used the Ken Onion Edition of the Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener to sharpen three types of outdoor knives. But I also showed how to use the Original Edition of the sharpener, for all you good folks who have that version. The three videos are:

“Sharpening an Outdoor Knife Using the Work Sharp Knife Sharpener”

“Sharpening a Tanto Folding Knife Using the Work Sharp Knife Sharpener”

“Sharpening a Partially Serrated Knife with the Work Sharp Knife Sharpener”

I hope you find them informative and useful. Stay Sharp!!!

How to Sharpen Garden Tools with the Work Sharp

I shot a new video showing how to sharpen various garden tools & hand tools, using both models of the Work Sharp Knife & Tool sharpener. You’ll learn how to sharpen pruning shears, grass & hedge shears, loppers, hoes, trowels, florist scissors, shovels & spades, pick axes, tin snips and hand forks. It was filmed in Ventura, CA while selling at a gun show at the fairgrounds. You should find it helpful. I forgot to mention it, but when you’re done sharpening these tools, put a little light machine oil on them to keep them cutting smoothly and easily, and keep them clean. The video is ready to view on the “Videos” page of this website, or you can watch it below. Enjoy!!

Troubleshooting Video

Here’s an important video to watch if you are having any problems with your Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener. Or maybe you’re not getting your knives razor sharp. Or maybe you’ve got an extremely dull or damaged knife and don’t quite know what to do about it. This video will give you answers to these and many other issues. Enjoy!

Advanced Tips & Techniques Video

I just posted a new “Advanced Tips & Techniques” video to my WorkSharpEasy You Tube channel. I shot this video back in December at the Ventura, CA Crossroads of the West Gun Show. But for various reasons, I am just now posting it. I have meant to do a video like this for some time. I hope you find it helpful:

It’s also listed among the 16 videos on my “Videos” page on this website. Check out the other videos there too. The Videos Page link is in each website page header or sidebar.

The Portland Automotive Swap Meet

Here’s a video you may enjoy seeing. I’m at the huge Portland Automotive Swap Meet in Portland, Oregon in early April of 2013. The new Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition wasn’t available at that time. It first came out in September 2013. So I had the two models you see in this video, plus the Beugler pinstriping tools, Kafka pinstriping brushes and Mack pinstriping brushes.

I still carry most of the Beugler pinstriping tools and the Kafka and Mack pinstriping brushes, so if you’re interested in them, please contact me.
