Whether you are running 440C or S90V, even the most super of steels will need to be sharpened eventually. This can be an intimidating task to some, but we’re going to take a look at three systems that make the job easy and achieve fantastic results. Let's check them out.
The first is the Spyderco Sharpmaker, an intuitive and easy to use device that can achieve hair-shaving results with ease on almost any steel out there, so long as the edge isn’t so far gone that you need to reprofile it.
All the elements come in this black plastic case that doubles as a stand, making this a very tidy package to store when not in use. There are two preset angles for the stones, meaning you don’t have to worry about maintaining the proper angle as you would when freehand sharpening on a flat stone. One way to check and see if the preset angle is matching up to your knife is to color the sharpened edge in with a black marker. After a few strokes, if the marks have disappeared, you know you are lined up properly.
Once the brass guards are in place, you start with the corner of the triangular brown medium stones. All you have to do is hold the blade straight up and down and place the heel of your blade at the top of the stone. Bring the blade straight down, and draw it towards you as you do, so that you hit the whole edge by the time you reach the bottom of the stone. Do this twenty times on each side of the blade, then rotate the stones and perform twenty strokes per side again, this time on the flat side. At this point, your blade should be able to cut paper, but we aren’t done yet.
Repeat the same steps as before, this time using the fine white stones, starting with the corner, and then the flat side of the triangle. Once you are finished, your edge should be hair popping sharp.
The stand also has a couple of other ways of holding the stones, allowing you to easily sharpen other tools such as chisels, scissors, and even straight razors. The Sharpmaker is a truly versatile device that is a classic for a reason - it just plain works.
Another system worth checking out that offers even more control over angle than the Sharpmaker is the Lansky Universal Knife Sharpening System. This set comes with a clamp that holds your blade steady and provides guide holes for the included stones so you can maintain the proper angle for your blade. Along with honing oil, the standard set comes with coarse, medium, and fine stones and is a great starting point. For a little extra money, higher-end sets come with more grits but they can also be purchased separately, as the standard set’s case comes with extra slots for storage if you choose to upgrade.
The process here is simple. Clamp the spine of your blade into place and attach the guide rods to the stones you wish to use. Starting with the coarsest stone you need, choose your angle and insert the guide rod into the proper hole. Sharpen as described earlier until you can raise a burr consistently on both sides and then move up to the next grit until your desired sharpness is achieved.
If you want to take your sharpening game to the next level, a powered unit from Work Sharp may be in order. Work Sharp has been raising the bar in the sharpening arena by thinking outside the box, and their Ken Onion Edition Knife & Tool Sharpener is one of our favorite units that they make, offering fast and accurate performance.
Unlike the previous units we showed you, the Ken Onion Work Sharp is driven by an electric motor, using abrasive belts and an adjustable angle guide to sharpen your edge.
After selecting your angle, set the heel of the blade on the belt, pull the trigger to start the motor, and pull the blade backward at a rate of one inch per second according to the manufacturer, stopping the motor before the tip of your knife passes the centerline of the belt. Then do the same for the opposite side. As with all the sharpening methods we’ve shown you, repeat these steps as necessary until the burr is consistent, then proceed to the next grit until desired sharpness is achieved.
Congrats to Joshua Hirsh on winning the Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition.

My PM2 could really use a fresh edge with this bad boy! Best in the Business. Thanks for the opportunity.
Wow - thanks for the chance to win a Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition to sharpen my poor GERBER GATOR (154CM, DROP POINT) which has served me well for many hunts over the years.
Wow where do i begin. My TOPS original Power Eagle-12. Ordered it from you guys back in 2012. Never have sharpened it since I received it. It has payed for its self over and over in yard work. Thanks for the oppritunity. God Bless from Texas
My entire Old Hickory carbon steel knife set could surely use a great sharpener
I inherited my Dad’s Buck 110 and it definitely needs some sharpening!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I need to sharpen my dual blade Camillus folding knife. It's a beautiful knife which was a gift from my father nearly 25 years ago. I will always cherish his memory.
I've carried a Spyderco Mantra 1 for a couple of years now. The M4 is great steel. A new sharpener will make the touch ups much easier. The tough convex edge the Work Shop puts on the blade will make cutting cardboard daily at work a breeze.
My Spyderco 4 knifes, ZT 0456, Boker (2) Rike (2) Bob Terzuola (2knifes) Tashi Bharucha (2knifes) as well as Ken Onion 2 knifes and others, will need an excellent and easy tool for keeping them sharp. Looks awesome.
My CRKT Home Front knife has been through well you name it from fixing divots on the golf course to aiding in skinning game, to cutting tape on the box of my new Ken Onion knife sharpener! 👌😂. Love the knife center keep it coming!!
All of our Boker kitchen knives. They take me a long time to sharpen with the Spyderco SharpMaker.
I got some big chopper which need reprofiling and this is the best gift to make my job easier.

Really works for knives, scissors, garden tools, etc.
5 € for life 😉
I have a wide range of knives- from fixed blades to folding knives, axes and wood tools. I think this sharpener will be a great help and will save me a lot of time in maintenance of my collection.
My blackwash Kershaw will eventually need a sharpening. This is one hell of a sharpening system!
The Spiderco rig looks just right for the toolbox.
My well preserved
40 year old Puma lock back with hand engraved brass bolsters is an EDC beauty - it comes up an extra treat with a good sharpening.
I have an old hunting knife that was my dads and he gave it to me . It has never had a sharp edge on it and I would love to make it sharp for him again .
The Work Sharp Ken Onion is the best . My friend has one and I have sharpened my Spyderco Emerson VG-10 with it

Thanks for your consideration.
A Spyderco native is s90v. It’s an awesome beast
My father's 110 Buck he wore it during the later part of his Naval career of 33 years. I'm timid to sharpen it due to the sentiment. A work sharp Ken Onino edition sharpener would relieve my hesitation with its professional grade sharpening.
I'm obsessed with a razor sharp edge and would love to use the Ken Onion to sharpen my Spyderco Bushcraft, Wolspyder, Brouwer, Military and UK Penknife in CPMS110V plus many more...
Boy I'd love to put a fresh on my umnumzaan with one of them sharpners thanks so much!!!!!!
My old survival knife definitely need one.
All, All, of my Kitchen Knives, and that's just for starters! This joker would make quick work of all of them! Thanks for the chance!
My old school Gerber Rex Applegate tactical folder, thing is a beast!!
All of them do! Especially my ZT 0562 (Manix2, Southard, Esee, PM2, etc....)
I have a bk 9 and definitely need the work sharp. Appreciate the chance of winning it. Just wish you could do 2 work sharp gaw.
I work in the hospitality sector and carry a Gerber Flatiron as my edc.
I need to sharpen my spyderco tenacious knives. They are my work beaters.
ZT 0620 in Elmax steel. Pain in the butt to sharpen.
So, i was finally able to get my grail knife, a *Dark Timber - Honey Badger !!*
I only have a few fixed blades, none of them being that nice...and sense im not good at free-hand sharpening..ive been scared to use it much. The Ken Onion is what ive wanted for a long time, but still saving up for it.
Be really awesome to win one, so thanks for the chance guys! Awesome GAW either way!
John Averett- I have a kershaw leek 1660CB. It came to me fairly sharp but the Kershaw 1660R that I got came razor sharp. I would like to put a finer edge on the 1660CB.
My cold Steel Kukri needs some LOVE, I've been having to much fun with it!
I really like to have this to sharpen all my dull kitchen knives.
I've got a few blades that would benefit from a run through the Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition:
(1) My blue-handled Spyderco Endura daily carry
(2) My TOPS C.U.T 4.0
(3) My Cold Steel Laredo Bowie in San Mai
Of course there are others (lots) but let's start with the faves.
The spiderco sharpener works fantastic!
Types f knives I have (and need sharpening) Benchmade, Zero Tolerance
Spyderco, Boker, to name a few, Thanks
My Spyderco Positron is a bit dull. I would love to try that Work sharp out!
My Schrade and Old Timer are in desperate need of sharpening !
Great video and that Ken Onion really looks easy !!!
Thank for sharing!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hmmm my Benchmade mini acfk and Crawford leopard cub... My blue star... I have a few that need some love for sure....
Teaching my kids some knife skills in the kitchen and a sharp knife is a must. I need a really good edge on my Forschner 10".
I have three knives that have d2 steel and due to the pain staking task of sharping d2 on stones they are in desperate need of a sharpening and one is in need of re-profiling which I have been putting off for quite some time but the Ken Onion works sharp would make quick work of all my sharpening needs.
My SCrapyard SOD, hinderer XM-18 spanto in 20cv, microtech Socom Elite in m390, cold steel code 4 Cts-xhp and the 70+ more
My Spiderco Endura, the workhorse of my collection, could use a sharpening. Have had it for years and I use it for everything.
My benchmade Osborn contego could use a sharpening! Takes forever with my stones
My Benchmade 940 is next on the list to be sharpened.
We all need a good knife sharper and will be using it to sharpen all my thick blade for chopping.
I’d sharpen my Al Stohlman round knife. It’s not quite 180 degrees of a circular blade for cutting leather. Neither of the other two sharpening systems shown work well because of the shape, I’ve tried. The local professional sharpener botched it when I took it to him. All I can do now is use a flat stone which is difficult at best, but possible.
Great video, I started a knives collection, and have too many knives to work on, the first one is a complex one a katana type.
I can use to refresh the edge of my Kershaw Dividend.
I have several that need a good sharpening, both my Kershaw blackouts, my CRKT M16-01ks, and 2 Spydercos
The work sharp is one of the best sharper on sale. It is just perfect for big chopper. I will use it on my local made parang made from a landrover spring.
Sweet work sharp. My wife kitchen knife should appreciate the new edition to her kitchen.
My Benchmade North Fork definitely needs a sharpen!
I usually sharpen on a Sharpmaker, but my Kershaw Camp 14 just cut down a sapling and has some nicks and most definitely would be much easier to fix on the Work Sharp!
My kitchen knives could really benefit from that worksharp!!
Definitely need to sharpen my Spyderco military
I sure like to try out and put a good working edge on all my benchmade blade. Thanks for sending it my way.
Old Buck 110, old Gerber drop point with rosewood scales, old set of Chicago Cutlery kitchen knife set
I have a US Navy Colonial Mark 1 knife my dad (SFC in 1st Air Cav) won in a poker game in Vietnam. It could use a touch up.
My spyderco manix 2 in s90v. It needs a good Sharpening and something to keep it stropped.
You have an excellent broadcasting voice.
My Spyderco Valloton sub-hilt folder could use a touch up!
I have a Spyderco Para 3 that I’d like to sharpen to a mirror-polished edge.
My Zero Tolerance 0095BW in S35VN could definitely use a Worksharp edge.
Thanks for the chance!!
An Onion Work Sharp would save me a lot of time sharpening my Becker 9!
I need occasional sharpening of my Condor Stratos and Condor Kukri, but I made a knife in a blacksmithing class that REALLY needs a heavy dose of sharpening! :-)
My BK10 gets worked like a rented mule. Thanks for the chance!
My Svörd puukkos need it. I've maintained them pretty well with my strop and the resin I bought from you a few years ago. 👍 But now they're getting a micro-convex edge.
My Gerber Fullback is way overdue for a new edge. Thanks for the give away!
All my knives really need a good sharpening.. But I guess my Kershaw Link would need it the most!!
I need to sharpen all my Buck folding knives. Thanks.
My T.M.HUNT Custom Skinner needs a good sharpening after this deer season! Cleaned 3 in a row before it was time!
Wow that work sharp will work great with my dull butter knife. Thanks Bro.
My Hinderer 3” Xm-18 needs to be sharpened, followed by my Spyderco Caribbean!
Benchmade 8600 Auto Bedlam, benchmade 390sbk, Hinderer XM 24
i just got one of these and i suggest that you take your time and read the stuff that they include with it-i did not=now i own a chris reeve large 21 with a s35vn recurve blade-im gonna get some old kitchen knives to practice on gee i sure hope cr can or will reblade my knife and ill gladly pay whatever money for it too
I am hoping to luck into the Ken Onion Work Sharp system since I have myriads of fixed blade & folders in my collection in addition to machetes, axes & tomahawks. Wish me luck! Best regards, Barry
Benchmade Amicus--S90V! I'm dreading spending 12 hours getting it perfect again, so this would be ideal.
I could sharpen quite a few of mine . The lanskey is good but could use a Worksharp .
My long time companion the Kershaw tanto Groove. Thanks fellas
I would use the Ken Onion system to sharping all my Ken Onion knives
My Native 5 LW, and my Protech Calmigo are both due for a good sharpening.
My Bark River BushBat cold use some love from a Ken Onion WorkSharp.
Hey David all my TM hunts need an decent edge. And hopefully future nordsmiths I can sharpen on it
My Benchmade 51 & Condor Kukri needs some loving
There are a few, I'm slacking recently: My Henckels 8" Santoku that I use quite often, my Cold Steel Ti-Lite that just can't seem to hold an edge as long as I would like, and my beat up ZT 0350 because that recurve makes sharpening (not honing) difficult on a knife I've used the hell out of. A few others need touch ups, but those are the "worst." And anything that would make sharpening my machetes or axe blades easier would be a dream.

I would use this to put a wicked edge on my Ken Onion Jinx.
