WORK SHARP Guided Field Sharpener – WSGFS221 Knife and Tool Guided Field Sharpener – World's Top Manual Guided Sharpening Tool System for Tools and Knives

Product Information

While both sharpening systems are expected to perform admirably, there are certain considerations to keep in mind. The Pro PA offers enhanced versatility for a wide range of knife sizes, while the original Precision Adjust is reliable and efficient. The chosen knife is suitable for both systems, ensuring a level playing field. However, the smaller Precision Adjust may require more time and effort due to its smaller abrasive plates and shorter throw. magnets. I wouldn’t change using the magnets as they make switching stones from 220-800 fast and efficient just Regardless of the system you choose, both are highly capable of transforming your dull knives into high-performing cutting tools. Whether you seek versatility or a polished finish, the Work Sharp Precision Adjust family has you covered.

alt option have basic plastic adapters that can be screws to a bench/board that the already tapered base fits into but then would not be fixed if the plate holder can be taken out completely and used freehand to sharpen things like axes/ oddly shaped or The guided sharpener is easily 4 star unit for the price that should be 5 star with minor updates/ addons. I am a knifemaker and have used this to set /make new edges on various hard stainless and tool steels for the past few years and it sees much more use than the average home user is likely to put it through. I got both the extra coarse and extra fine stones as the 220 extra coarse really does take off a lot of material to help establish new edges or for home use repair damaged edges. The extra fine topping out at 800 grit which realistically for sharpening is still a rough medium level stone does fairly well to finish with reasonable working edges coupled with finishing stropping. The 800 grit is by no means a very fine edge and is one of the flaws, there should be diamond stones that go over 1k grit, jumping to something like a 1200-1500 grit would likely be enough, still medium sharpening grit but much more refined edge than anything sub 1k grit. Many modern steels have high hardness and large amounts of carbides that can be both sharpened at high grit and maintain quality sharpness for long periods of time, finer grit edge doesn’t always mean longer edge holding but would be good to have the option. The other option that seems like it should be possible would be making highest grit ceramic plate like they have on the newer Bench tri stone. I have used the Benchstone and I would also call that a solid 4 star unit for moderate home use but it definitely is built cheaper overall but solid for average home use. The Guided Sharpener is a more robust, more adaptable unit for harder & more frequent use, basically it’s got more metal vs plastic in the build. The Guided or Benchstone from work sharp are the main options I recommend to customers looking for affordable easy to use units, & the Field Sharpener is tops for away from home use. To ensure a fair comparison, both systems will be used to sharpen the knives to a 15-degree angle per side. The process involves removing a significant amount of material, resulting in a tall bevel. After sharpening, the knives will undergo multiple tests, including a paper test, microscopic examination, and measurement using the BESS tester.

Higher grit stone/ plate options- 1200-1500 + diamond or possibly preferred ceramic equivalent that comes with the Benchstone Guides- I cover top of guides with masking tape as they can scratch blade surfaces, minor but an issue to be aware of

The first test involves examining the edges under the digital microscope. The knife sharpened on the original Precision Adjust exhibits a consistent and tall bevel, with some minor scratches from previous grits. Kyle used a sawing technique to power through the material, ensuring a sharp result. Despite slightly less rigidity in the PA’s plastic construction, the bevel’s consistency is commendable.
