How Did Work Sharp Develop Into a Premier Sharpening Brand?

In early 2000, the first Work Sharp sharpener was developed under the parent company, Darex. As a sharpening focused company with a core competency in all things sharp, Work Sharp discovered a need for an easy, fast, and reliable sharpening solution in the wood working industry. With great success in the wood working market, Work Sharp expanded into knife and tool sharpening, utilizing flexible belt technology.

What Can Work Sharp Products Sharpen?

Flexible abrasive belts and angle guides provide precision results on all outdoor knives, kitchen knives, lawn and garden tools, axes and hatchets, serrations, fish hooks, and more.

What is The Advantage of A Work Sharp Sharpener Compared To Other Sharpening Solutions?

Work Sharp products are versatile in that they work on both outdoor knives and tools, while also sharpening and maintaining kitchen knives and household scissors. Designed with high quality materials, Work Sharp is capable of robust sharpening tasks, while gently sharpening and refining edges.

How does the belt system on A Work Sharp function?

The powered sharpening solutions by Work Sharp come with a variety of abrasives: Coarse, Medium, and Fine. These belts behave similar to sand paper in that the coarser abrasive is used for rough work or heavy applications, the medium abrasive is focused on sharpening tasks where less material take-off is desired, and the fine abrasive that provides high-polished refined edges.

How Do I Choose What Work Sharp Product Is Best For Me?

Depending on your sharpening needs, Work Sharp has a model that fits those demands. Use the comparison guide on the Work Sharp Website to help direct you on which sharpener to purchase.

What Is A Convex Edge?

A convex edge is slightly rounded as it tapers off to the finest point of the cutting edge along the blade. The convex edge is considered superior compared to other edge grind types due to longer lasting durability and less drag when cutting.

What Is The Difference Between a Toothy Edge and Refined Edge?

A toothy edge is great for robust cutting applications, like cutting through rope or cardboard. A refined edge is a shave sharp edge that works great in applications like slicing meat and when cooking in the kitchen.
