Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite WS09DX066 sharpening system

This is a great “beginner” sharpener for those learning how to sharpen. Comes with all the basics you need. Great quality and easy to use. My only issue is that it moves up and down whilst sharpening. You can buy aftermarket wedges to stop this but you really shouldn’t have to. It does the basics very well but I would not recommend for professional use or to get a perfect edge.

It's a fantastic sharpener, although you have to squeeze the clamp to an unbelievable strength to stop the knife from moving but it's really good. In saying that I'm very strong so others might not be able to squeeze such a tightness. I sharpened both a kitchen chopping knife which I got crazy sharp, that was fantastic, the same can't be said about my favourite knife the swiss army knife, you have to squeeze it at the very bare spine of the blade to sharpen them to my desired 18°. And to a crazy tightness so it won't move but its possible to do it with gentle strokes, I had started to wear the actual knife holding clamp so I had to move it to the very back of knife blade then it was OK. There isn't a hope of going below 18° with small blades with this sharpener, because you'll start rubbing the clamp instead. Bigger blades should be fine though with proper tightness but you shouldn't press to hard, let the stones do the work for you. Overall I'm happy with it but I feel as my smaller blades are wearing it will become impossible to sharpen because you will be gringing the clamp..
