Reasonably price and simple to use. A novice like me can put a sharp edge on with little effort. Only complaint is the magnet that holds the diamond plates on is weak on one side and the plate moves or falls off when sharpening

Don’t even hesitate to buy this if you’re looking for a edc knife sharpener. Just buy it. I use it for my pocket knives and kitchen knives and leaves a perfect edge every time.

First of all this is the best sharpener for what it is of anything on the market! I've had more stones and pastes than you could imagine over the years and this Field Sharpener is at the top of my list!! For once a company puts " Form" and "Function" in the same class and let's R&D have fun!! I recently received a knife as a gift from a dear friend of mine and wanted to honor him by finding the same sharpener he uses on his own blades. Not knowing the brand without asking him I went down a very interesting rabbit hole and am now a proud new owner of this field sharpener. I've sharpener everything possible in my house with it and am obsessed!!

Why didn't someone think of this like 50yrs ago

This is a great sharpening option for any sharpening application. I needed something small and packable and this was it. I was concerned about it not having an attached edge guide but not an issue at all. It provides a top quality edge that rivals what I can do with a guided, table top set-up. Shave quality edge in no-time.

I got this in a TacPack several years ago. I love this thing. Sits on my desk (I work from home and all my knives live in my office). I use this a lot. A Lot. It's easy and it's all right there and it does a great job. I even bring it into the kitchen to sharpen things there when they need it.
It's small, compact, but does the job. Easier than using a stone and better than anything else I've ever bought.

This item has been a game changer for me with making sure my knives are sharp. Especially for a novice in the art of sharpening knives. The angle guides are exactly what I need to make sure I stay on point with my angles.

Right out of the package the sharpener worked better than expected. I sharpened a knife immediately and it took only a few strokes to return a sharp edge.

When I first saw the sharpener I couldn’t understand why everyone I talked to said that it was amazing. It looks very simple and overpriced but I thought I would give it a try. That was several years ago and since then I have purchased two more. So what’s so amazing about the sharpener is that it is VERY SIMPLE, easy to take with you, and does everything needed to maintain a sharp blade. Today, I use the ceramic rod and strop to quickly touch up my EDCs and kitchen knives with great results.

Over the years, I’ve tried countless sharpening systems. This is the most effective and easiest I’ve ever used. The product is so good, I’ve purchased for friends and family to help them clear their benches of cumbersome clamp systems that provide marginal results. Do yourself a favor, get this product.

Just what I needed. Professional edge on my D2 steel blade. Awesome tool. Thanks guys.

The sharpener is exceptional quality it gets most of my blades almost hair whittling Sharp,after using the leather strap, I run a blade over my denim strap I made but it gets in that much sharper, point being, completely unnecessary that's just my OCD, but yeah I don't get any knife even if it's completely damaged you can get it good as a new as long as you know what you're doing but for the most part since I've had this for a year it only had to use the rough edge a couple times to reprofile but otherwise I take my knife and run them on the medium grit and then the soft ceramic and they stay sharp a few swipes each, I had to get a nick, out of my Kershaw analyst last night so I had to grind it down flatten it out basically I ran it on the hard grit 10 passes each side already had an apex back then I went over to my whetstone ran it on that for a minute then the medium on that and then went back to the soft grit, and then soft ceramic until it got to perfection ring on the leather's dropped bunch ran out of the denim strap anyway not here we're doing Sharp as that's Overkill but to put it into perspective I can take a cigarette I can literally cut chunks out of the filter literally out of the fiberglass you can see where the cut was made and I can literally shave the stragglers, little pieces of fiber like a shave my arm in one pass if I wanted to like this thing works it's awesome! For the money I challenge, anyone to find something better especially being at Walmart it's 30 bucks worth it all day!

This little gem takes all the guess work out of sharpening. Sharpens to razor sharp in minutes. Very versatile. Recommended for all from experts to novices.

Easy and fun to use!

I first used one of these sharpeners in Utah when a Forest Service firefighter let me borrow his. I’m a helicopter mechanic. I was blown away at how quickly it sharpened and how perfect my edge was every time. Within the next couple weeks I found myself in Pinedale Wyoming and found one of these at a sporting goods shop so I bought it. That was 2018 and it cost $20. Now I know that prices have gone up in the last several years but for the cost of this to go up 125% over the original cost is too greedy. These are made in China.

Handy, fast, sharp

The best I've ever used very easy use

bought this sharpener at farm n home came to find one of the best knife sharpeners for the price can get a razor edge n the fish hook sharpener n broad head toll just make it that much better

I give this Work Sharp Guided Field
Sharpener a 5 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔 rating!!!!!
It helps keep my knives sharp, especially when I use them to slice up potatoes for dinner. I highly recommend this product!

Ottimo prodotto, ben concepito e ben fatto, provato subito dopo il suo arrivo affilando il mio multi tool che ora taglia di nuovo come un rasoio.

I absolutely LOVE this sharpener! I have never in my life been worth a damn at sharpening a knife and I’ve tried all kinds of fancy (and expensive) gadgets. I ran across this at our local Walmart and thought ok, it might be worth trying… now everyone at work asks me to sharpen their knives lol. It only takes a few minutes to get a good working edge and a few more to get an edge you can actually shave with. I love this and will never use another

I was using this yesterday. A new knife came in and the blade was not sharp the entire length of the blade. I will not name the knife company. I raised a bur along the entire length and was happy that it was sharp. I also polished the blade with the workshop bench stone, stropped it on the leather on the field sharpener and have a new EDC.

I have had one of these for ten years now and it is by far the best and easiest to use knife sharpener. It has the lowest learning curve thanks to the 20 degree guides. Once you have a done a few sharpenings, your hand and wrist locks into place and it is almost impossible to not get a good edge. Thank you Worksharp Tools

Sharpener is easy to use and produces very sharp knives. Had a strange problem with the plastic guides on my original GFS but Work Sharp's warranty is very good. I have Work Sharp products from a small pocket sharpener up to the Ken Onion model. All work very well.

I’ve had this sharpener for years and have used it on a daily basis to maintain all of my knives, the ones that I cart for defense stay razor, broken pop bottle sharp, my friends call them JC sharp. It is awesome!! Stay sharp JC Terman

Works great

Excellent build quality, easy to use, and I really like that I can replace components once they're worn out.

What can you expect from a field sharpener that doesn't weigh a ton or isn't bulky? Will take practice to get used to holding it and getting faster with it, but definitely gets the job done. Not sure you could ask for more without it becoming gimmicky.

gonna start with some things i consider negatives.

it comes with pre-applied stropping compound. I would of liked to see the paste on the side and let me put it on myself. This would of allowed me to put the paste I normally use on right away instead of removing what came on it.

The magnets! As you pull the knife threw the diamond grit you can feel the magnetic field as you draw the blade. This feels odd and takes away from a smooth motion of drawing the knife.

The coarse ceramic honing. Ceramic is a difficult material to work with and I may of gotten a faulty grind but I have found absolutely no use for this portion of the ceramic. I have found that my edges have been tainted by this portion of the ceramic and i would not recommend using it .

Ok moving onto the good stuff.

This is in my pocket when I see my mother, she throws her knifes in the sink and they are always in bad shape when i see her. The coarse grit makes short work of most edge defects and provides a relatively clean edge to start from. I keep this in my kitchen to touch up my knifes after use, only needing the ceramic and the strop to maintain the edge. This is in my back pack in the bush, its nice to pull the metal diamond portions off and touch up an hatchet.

I have fancy belt sharpeners and I reach for this most often. I would recommend removing the compound that comes on the strop and sanding it on 2,000 grit sand paper. Then i would put on 20,000grit diamond stropping paste on it. stay away from the coarse ceramic (this could be bias, im not sure if mine has a defect) .

I am all around please with this sharpener, there is some skill involved in using it but the end product is all around surprising. Would recommend for anyone wanting a inexpensive tool that works.

The first thing I sharpened was a brand new kinda cheap hatchet. It took nothing at all to put a razor edge on it. This sharpener is very compact and user friendly.
