You stated that the Sharpal allows you to "...apply all the leverage..." That, however, is the one thing you really should NEVER do with a diamond hone. Light pressure is all you need to let the diamonds do their job. Hard pressure will only ruin the diamond coating and quickly render it useless.

[mistersmith]

Remember to remove the ceramic rod once in a while on the Work Sharp and clean it with dish detergent, warm water ab a rough sponge. I just did mine after having it loaded up with steel. It was all black and wouldn't work anymore. After I cleaned it, it was clean and white and worked like new.

Before either of these two sharpeners were available I made my own field sharpener by epoxying course and fine credit card sized diamond stones onto opposite sides of a narrow wooden paddle. The handle allows me to get a solid grip on the paddle and keep my fingers away from the stones. It works great.

[barrybaldwin]

I've owned & sharpened my collection of blades for decades & have bought & used many brands of natural stones, synthetic stones, diamond infused metal stones & ceramic rods. I agree that the Sharpal is well suited to carry as well as a trusted go-to in the home. The grits are appropriate for its' intended use & is easy, comfortable, effective & fun to use. Well worth the monetary investment.

[anthonyanderson]

I just pop the diamond plate out of the worksharp. "To those who don't know the plates on the worksharp are held on with magnets only" which is another reason the worksharp is great because when you inevitably wear out the diamond plates you just buy replacements instead of the whole body plus you can get different grits than the stock option.

[Thegreywanderer]

im a professional knife sharpener and ive used this tool for several years and i love it. its just about perfect. get it. you will love it

[Turkeythigh]

Agreed. I've been amassing a fairly large collection of sharpening stones, jigs and files for years. It all depends on what you're using it for and where you're using it.

[manuellucero]

Since you recommended the worksharp I bought 2 and it's my favorite, I sharpen from small Victorinox SAKs to giant knives good and easy, it's excellent. This new sharpener seems interesting for some applications. Good tip to scrape a ferro rod with the plate of the work sharp, I keep a ferro rod in the compartment under the sharpening plates.

[lonewandererbushcraftwildc]

I rest the worksharp on my knee with no problems.
& the ceramic rods come in handy if you have a convex blade it deals with it nicely.
Something that the other sharpener doesn't have.
The worksharp may not be big in size but it certainly makes up for it in versatility

[jerrychance]

I have the work sharp field sharpener and I love it. It’s quick and easy. I use it a lot for maintaining all my knives. As stated in your video it is cumbersome with larger knives so I tend to use it more like a file for something like my esee junglas.

[omaralanis]

I just got the worksharp field sharpener couple of weeks ago and it made sharpening all my blades an easy job to the point of actually enjoying the process . I’m able to get consistent razor sharp blades even in harder steels like cruwear, M4, magnacut, D2.
I’m ordering another one to have in my truck or RV and thinking of tossing the all the whetstones I have . Would definitely recommend. I’ll look into this other one to use on machetes and axes and tools . Thank you for the information

[huntergainer]

Ive bought one of these about 3 months ago has been working well. Just as you said in the video compact easy to carry works well keep it in my edc backpack. No complaints

[komendowski_sdba_stanray]

😊I remove the diamond plates from my Worksharp and stick it to my DMT Diafold sharpener and have made simple wooden handles with magnets and for most of my diamond plates including a ski sharpening jig.
Also the cavity behind the Worksharp's plates fit a firemaking kit beautifully.

[ededc]

I am considering between this two and this was very informative. The handle/grip and the 1200 grit on the Sharpal seems like a better fit for what I need at the moment. But one or the other, thank you once again for putting the time and effort to test EDC products.

[johnhill]

My Sharpel has replaced my Work Sharp now. Lighter more compact and quite amazing with the 1200 grit and the leather sheath!

[thewatcher]

I have been a huge fan of the WS Field Sharpener over the last decade. I have a couple of them. I definitely agree that although they are very capable tools for working on smaller blades, the only thing I wish I had....well, is the thing you just showed us. You left out one important detail: While you can use the Field sharpener carefully like a file, you've got the angle guide in the way, no matter what you're doing with it. This Sharpal doesn't have that hinderance. I have been waiting for quite some time to learn this. Thanks for sharing!!

[nobodyatall]

I use stones about 1x3" super glued to 1x1" sections of rectangular aluminum tubing. This gives you the same localized pressure effect but works even better because you're applying force directly down over the work piece with a "scrubbing" action and the aluminum tubing is creating enough finger clearance for safety. Specifically, I use a coarse diamond stone adhered to one side of the tube, and soft Arkansas on the other, while the tube itself can store angle guides and sandpaper for stropping. The resulting kit only weighs a couple ounces and it is the only sharpening implement I use anymore, aside from a 1x6" double cut file for serious grinding.

[itywhat]

Thank you for an awesome vid. I bought one from your store. Here's my take...Looking for a survival knife sharpening system? Here it is...Sharpener, strop, easy carry all in one. And you can add your favorite sharpening strop compound on the sheath. The handle also has over 6' of paracord wrap. Perfect to carry in your pack, or car, or use it at home. I highly recommend it. Yes, this does sound like a commercial, but it is worth the money.

[James-kesx]

Nice sharpener. I use something unusual called the 'Block Sharpener'. Made in USA, had the original 40 years ago. I carry it on a string around my neck so it's easily accessible.

[edcgearpocketknife]

You can also hold the knife still and get a better grip on the worksharp. Use the worksharp on the knife instead of using the knife on the worksharp.
