The Work Sharp Professional Electric Kitchen Knife Sharpener brings flexible belt sharpening to the countertop. It's the same technology knifemakers use to grind and sharpen blades, scaled down for the kitchen and automated so anyone can run it. Work Sharp pairs a thinner 17 degree edge with one touch programs, making it the step up from disc sharpeners in our electric knife sharpeners.
Belts: Flexible abrasive belts conform to the curve of the blade rather than grinding a hard flat bevel, which spreads contact evenly and keeps heat down on thin kitchen steel. Two P120 ceramic belts handle shaping and edge repair, and a fine X4 belt, about 3000 grit, refines and polishes the finished edge.
Angle Guides: Removable, leather lined guides hold the blade at 17 degrees, a keener angle than most countertop sharpeners. It suits modern chef's knives, santokus, and slicers, and the leather lining protects the blade face as you pull through.
One Touch Programs: Three automated modes, Shape, Sharpen, and Refine, set belt speed and run time for you. Shape rebuilds a damaged or neglected edge, Sharpen handles routine dullness, and Refine polishes the finished edge.
Serrations and Scissors: The flexible belts sharpen serrated bread and steak knives, and an included scissor guide covers kitchen shears and household scissors.
Who It's For: Serious home cooks who want a sharper, more refined edge than a disc sharpener gives, with no technique to learn. For a simpler 20 degree option, see the Work Sharp Electric Kitchen Knife Sharpener. For daily upkeep between sessions, add one of our honing steels, and our kitchen knives guide covers edge care for every knife in the block.
