It features a precision-adjustable angle guide that allows you to set the sharpening angle from 15 to 30 degrees in 1 degree increments, making it ideal for sharpening both a variety of knives. The sharpener also comes with seven different abrasive grits, from coarse to fine. The version I purchased even came with a strop for finishing that razor edge.
The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener is easy to use. Simply clamp your knife in the included V-block, set the desired sharpening angle, and then draw the knife back and forth across the abrasive grits in a smooth, even motion. Count the number of strokes on one side. Once you feel a burr develop, flip the blade over and repeat the same number of strokes. After you have completed this step, repeat these steps with the finer stones, working your way up to the strop. The sharpener will quickly and easily remove dullness and create a sharp, new edge on your knives. With practice, you can get an almost mirror-like polish on the edge of your knife.
One trick to find the exact angle that your knife currently has is to use a sharpie to color the edge of the blade. When you find the right angle, the sharpie mark will come off of the entire edge.

Here are some additional thoughts on the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite Knife Sharpener:
- The precision-adjustable angle guide is a great feature that allows you to set the sharpening angle to match the specific knife you are sharpening. This helps to ensure that you get a sharp, even edge on your knives.
- The seven different abrasive grits give you a lot of flexibility in terms of the level of sharpness you can achieve. If you have a dull knife, you can start with the coarser grits and then work your way up to the finer grits. This will help to remove more material and create a sharper edge.
- The V-block clamp is a secure way to hold your knife while you are sharpening it. This helps to prevent the knife from slipping and getting damaged, although as mentioned above, it may be in the way a bit with smaller knives. This can be circumvented by moving the blade forward. Also, the V-block clamp comes with paper clamped between the non-slip clamping feet. The instructions call to reinsert this paper for storage so the non-slip clamps do not stick to each other.
- A three year warranty and replaceable stones give you the assurance that the sharpener will last for many years to come.
