It’s a fact that things change, and so it goes with knives—and the systems to sharpen them. Old days required a bulky stone, some oil and lots of patience coupled with a good dose of know-how. Technology, however, has come to the knife sharpening world and to the rescue of knife owners everywhere. You owe it to yourself and your trusty knife to take a look at such new technology like you’ll find in Work Sharp’s systems of affordable knife sharpeners.
So what’s special about the Work Sharp knife sharpeners? It’s knife sharpening simplified. The pull-through sharpening unit’s Pivot Response Technology follows the curve of the blade for consistent and easier sharpening. No need to eye and then try and guesstimate a knife edge angle. The end result is a convex edge for superior retention and durability on the sharpened knife.

The unique convex carbides restore the blade’s edge, then a pull-pass over the fine grit ceramic rods hones the blade to factory sharpness. Those sharpening edges are set at 25-degrees. Better news is the tapered diamond rod that sharpens grooves in a serrated blade also has a groove for sharpening fishhooks — a bonus in any book.
A first sharpener to consider is the EDC Pivot Plus. It’s an easy-to-use, go-anywhere sharpener that’s small enough to fit in a shirt pocket or hunting pack. It will sharpen both straight and serrated edge knives and that’s a huge plus. Priced at less than $8 bucks retail, it’s also very affordable. It also looks rather cool!
This compact unit weighs about 1 ounce. Yes, it’s a sharpener that can go on the hunt and not become a burden in the field or a unit that becomes too complex to use when you are rushed to skin a deer or bear and need that sharp knife edge NOW.

Want an even smaller unit? Then seek Work Sharp’s EDC Pivot Knife Sharpener. It’s much like the Pivot Plus but without the diamond rod for sharpening serrated edges. This smaller unit retails for less than $4. I keep one in a pocket on my blaze orange hunting vest so it always goes on the hunt.
While the EDC models are small and can be carried everywhere, there is another Work Sharp unit that helps with sharpening knife blades and more—the Work Sharp Pivot Pro Knife Sharpener. This unit has an easy-to-grasp enclosed grip and incorporates two extra sharpening modules—including a diamond plate — that works on items such as lawn mower blades and garden tools, scissors and shears. Basically, it facilitates sharpening nearly anything around your home and shop that has a sharp edge. Priced at less than $10 retail, it’s also affordable. Mine sits on the work bench in the garage and there are no dull edges around my home.
