About Work Sharp Easy

who we are

Work Sharp Easy was built on decades of hands-on experience, trusted tools, and face-to-face connections with thousands of customers. Whether this is your first visit or you’ve met me at an event, I’m here to help you find the right sharpener with honest guidance and proven results.

I’m Doug Holser, a factory-trained Outside Sales Representative for Work Sharp Tools. Since 2010, I’ve demonstrated and sold Work Sharp’s full line of professional knife sharpeners at over 500 trade shows across the Western U.S. My first show was in Salt Lake City in September 2010, and I’ve been helping people find the best knife sharpening system ever since.

I started out living and traveling full-time between shows in a pickup truck and travel trailer. It was a great adventure and a way to connect with thousands of people looking for reliable, effective tools.

In 2023, I relocated from California to Ohio to be near my three grandchildren. These days, I still do occasional shows in the tri-state area (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana) but focus mainly on helping customers online through WorkSharpEasy.com.

frequently asked questions!

Reliable knife sharpening system designed to give you razor-sharp edges with minimal effort.

At Work Sharp Easy, we recommend the Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener or the Rolling Knife Sharpener. These systems combine adjustable angles (15°–30°), seven abrasive grits, and guided control—making them ideal for kitchen knives, pocket knives, and tools. They’re fast, reliable, and built for consistent results.

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 EDC 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.

If you’re new to sharpening, we recommend the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener. It offers:

  • Tool-free angle adjustments
  • Stable clamp and repeatable sharpening motion

Guided abrasive system to avoid guesswork
You’ll get pro-level edges without needing advanced skill.
