Work Sharp Precision Knife Sharpener Compact Black

Product Information

The Knife Clamp Collet is built to securely and carefully hold your knife. Your knife is clamped in with jaws that feature a layer of rubber between your knife and the clamp. This extra layer of projection ensures your valuable knife won't get scratched, but it still held tight. The wheel closes the jaws, no tools are needed to secure your knife to the clamp. On top of actually looking forward to sharpening my knives, the Precision Adjust System is a true breeze to use. Trust me when I say this: If you struggle with knife sharpening, the Professional Precision Adjust or Standard Precision Adjust is what you need. I found the unit to be intuitive to set up and use, and the results were impressive across the range of knives I tested. I did try it on a “beater” chef’s knife, where I had to tilt the chasis, but that required both hands and I was unable to photograph it myself. The PPAKS is both easy to set up and easy to use. Included with this model is a rubberized work mat that serves both as a clean work surface and a reference guide. It breaks out all the parts of the PPAKS as well as an explanation of grind angles, recommended angles based on knife types, blade anatomy, and which sharpening plates to use based on the condition of the knife edge you’re working on. The PAKS suffers from very little. But it didn’t have a substantial base, so it would walk around the workbench. The robust build of the PPAKS eliminates that by incorporating a much more substantial base. You can even bolt it down if you so desire.

Clamp Stabilizing platform (Clamp Stabilizer) for increased stability when sharpening larger knives. Being able to hone in on that angle, and maintain it, allows you to keep your knife sharp year after year. But after a while, when your knife is old and tired, you may need to adjust that angle to compensate for blade wear. That’s where the ability to measure down to a tenth or hundredth really shines. Furthermore, based on how easy it is to use, you can mess around with angles on the PPAKS without really screwing the edge up.I would imagine that it will work for a long time and seems solid enough. It provides a good alternative to some at a similar price point, such as the Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone System. And compared with the Lansky, the Work Sharp offers an easier platform and more precise edge-setting.

Includes seven (7) abrasive grits: 220, 320, 400, 600, and 800 diamond, Fine Ceramic, Leather StropIntelligink Pty Ltd trading as Knife Shop Australia will take reasonable steps to keep secure any personal information which we hold and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Personal information is stored in a secure server or secure files. Thanks to revised adjustment options, the required sharpening angle can be set between 15° and 35° in no time at all, while an additional digital spirit level with an accuracy of 0.25° ensures precise and reproducible results. Now your blade is clamped and secured. Let’s set our sharpening angle. One of the most impressive and exciting new additions to the Professional Precision Adjust is the Digital Angle Indicator, also known as an inclinometer, which allows you to set your sharpening angle with digital precision. Built from the ground up by Work Sharp, and magnetically notched to the sharpening rod, the Digital Angle Indicator is easy to use and allows you to set an insanely precise angle by quarter degree increments, no matter the size of the knife. No more dreaming about 17.25 degree edges – we got you buddy. Begin by setting the Digital Angle Indicator on the same surface as the Pro PA and calibrating it to zero. Then once snapped to the sharpening rod, you can easily dial in your desired angle specific to the knife you have clamped. With the digital angle indicator, you can say goodbye to hopeful guessing and “close to last time” when resharpening. Same knife, exact same angle, every time.
