Mom-approved
I got this Work Sharp as a gift for my mom, mainly for her kitchen cutlery. When she opened it, I could tell she was a little intimidated. But, after demonstrating on a pairing knife, she said, "wow - I feel much more confident in using that!" Just wanted to highlight how incredibly user friendly this system is. The build quality is solid, the angle adjustment is firm and spot on, the rough, fine, and ceramic materials are of good quality, and it seems constructed to last. Bonus: I love the included pocket sharpener with hex bits. Didn't expect that. Also, additional grades of sharpening material are available for purchase to expand this system's versatility. In summation, I would recommend this product and purchase again, especially as a gift for a knife person who doesn't have time or budget for, or patience to learn about, stone sharpening. Excellent, well-thought out system overall.
