Designing A Knife Sharpener With Ken Onion

Ken Onion came across the Work Sharp Original Knife & Tool Sharpener years ago while attending a hunt event in Alaska. Impressed with what he saw, Ken met with the Work Sharp team to brainstorm new sharpening features. After time spent in Hawaii at Ken's shop and at Work Sharp headquarters in Ashland, Oregon, one of the leading powered sharpening systems was created - The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener | Ken Onion Edition.

Our friends over at KnifeNews captured the full story of how Ken and the Work Sharp Team collaborated to design the ultimate sharpening solution.
