I got mine in late last night/early this morning. I have a few knives that had no edge at all. Just a factory quality control issue.

I messed with an old kitchen knife that is so ground down its hard to get an edge on. The worksharp put a workable edge on it.

I moved to one of my grail knives that had come with the safety edge <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (no factory edge) I was able to get a properly angled edge put on 20 Deg, then I knocked and polished the edge a bit further. I took that edge to my favorite stone and had the whole thing shaving sharp in under ten minutes. Not bad for 154cm.


This thing is stupid easy to use and puts a reasonable edge on quickly. I could see it ruining an edge quickly if you messed around with it too much. I think ti will be great for initial sharpening.

I will probably stick with my hand held stone for getting the shaving edge on my blades though.
