Again, not criticizing the Work Sharp; it does appear to be a good tool. But my (admittedly much more expensive) Kalamazoo can do a lot more stuff. It's superb for sharpening, and I can get a knife about 90% as sharp with it in 3 minutes as I can get a knife on stones in an hour. It makes me want to dump my stones down an elevator shaft sometimes!

It's also terrific for fixing broken tips, taking out major chips, reducing bolsters and doing major re-profiling. It's right on the border of being a machine a knifemaker would use (in fact, some do).

With 80 grit Blaze Ceramic belts even stuff like CPM254 and S30V melts like an icicle on a hot stove!
