    Fantastic

    I for over 50 years I have tried every knife sharpening system out there you name it I have done it. So easy to use that I bought my 25 year old one for his birthday and within 20 minutes he was knocking it out of the ballpark. Hint go watch the video on Youtube with Ken Onion showing how he does it. Simple, fast and effective.

    Mk1 user for past 10yrs

    Got the chance to upgrade my mk1 Ken onion sharpener. Must admit I still have been using the mk1 as recently as last week to sharpen all my kitchen knives , my parents and my best friends (in less than 2hrs). Love the added grinder attachment as my “go to”. But after using the mk2 it fixed my minor discrepancies and will be my new “go to”.

    Easy & fun to make ANY knife RAZOR sharp. LOVE this thing.

    After really enjoying the original Ken Onion w/Blade Grinder & using the Mk.2 for a couple months I have thoughts:

    Where the Mk.2 is better: User interface - the speed control, continuous ON is much nicer. The Mk.1's little wheel & button is clumsy in comparison. Angle adjustment is greatly improved with the dial & gauge. The addition of the 3 position pulley for adjusting how convex the blade is a bonus but more on that later. Lastly, the clearance of the belt is better. I was sharpening a Leatherman for a pal & the Mk.1 could only sharpen 1 side of the blade.

    Where the Mk.2 is WORSE: Belt changing. Not sure how Work Sharp messed this up so badly, You often have to move the convex pulley just remove a belt & put a new one in. Total PITA. Mk.2 is also bigger, bulkier & makes the Mk.1 feel kind of sporty in comparison... not really a complaint.

    Bottom Line: Changing belts on the Mk.2 is a PITA but has a much improved user interface. I have no problems making any knife RAZOR sharp & mirror polished. Work Sharp has made a product that even a dummy like me quickly learned how to use. I enjoy this sharpener so much that I am happy to sharpen my friends & neighbors knives. It's relaxing & people are always impressed/thankful after getting their knife back sharper than they've ever seen.

    Unfortunate! Old style better!

    I have 2 oldermodels, bought a 3rd and they shipped this. The belt guard is GARBAGE! You can't easily change belts, and soft belts (stropping) will NOT come off easily!! Major design flaw (unless you have 5 minutes to change every belt.) When belt tracks right,it eats into guard creating a slot and burr that makes it impossible. SOLUTION: cut out guard, but leave angle guide (pic). Trigger design, angle guide,all BETTER. just the guard is bad!! They need to supply a better guard, if your dumb enough to stick your fingers in there while running, you really shouldn't be handling sharp objects!

    First Sharpener experience

    After much research and deliberation I decided to purchase this system. As a novice to knife sharpening, I have found it easy to use and I have rejuvenated my kitchen knives as well as my daughters. I am very happy with my purchase even though it is my first sharpening system. Not sure how it could be easier or better IMO.
