I was late getting in on the work sharp amazon deal. Didn't see the deal until the next day. I've been watching it and have a hard time paying full price knowing there was a better deal.

I have decided to go with the KO Work Sharp. I watched several YouTube videos on sharpeners and found this to be most appealing
it will be nice to have some sharp tools againOntario, Canada

I’ll add this Masked Marvel lifehack...
when bartending, I’m *EVERY DAMN TIME* faced with dull utility paring knives. Dangerous for cutting garnishes.
1- Take a ceramic coffee mug
2- turn it upside down
3- Drag the blade over the unglazed lip of the mug
instant sharpness!!
people at the bar crack up when they see me do this.
PS - reserve this hack for the cheap knives, please

Cool idea. If you can find an older street light (mercury vapor) bulb, break off the outer glass and there is a ceramic rod (light element) in the middle. It’s about 6” long and makes a great knife sharpener stick!

Haha, seriously this may be my ignorance but that sounds like a very unhealthy knife sharpenerSouth of Columbus, Ohio.

Google “light bulb sharpener”. Lots of instructions and pictures! Made lots of these for friends and family.

With all the new LED lamps out there we don’t see many mercury vapour lamps. I’ll have to remember to check out in our shop for any hiding in the back. I didn’t realize it was a solid rod.Ontario, Canada

Hi pressure sodium will have same type rod in it too. Most municipals have a lot of these in their warehouse “recycle” bins, and they usually let you have for free.

Think next week I am going to drop off my knifes at the local shop and let them work the magic. Will continue searching for the best at home option for next time. Thank for all the suggestions.Northern New Jersey

This is what I’m seeing on amazon. Looks to be the tool and not just attachments.

"Frustration-Free Packaging" is something I can definitely get behind!
I HATE thick, bubble packaging! And I hate the injuries I've sustained from them (I now use tin snips and leather gloves/face shield/steel-toes). And I hate a twice-the-size-of-Texas glob of the stuff spinning slowly in the center of the Pacific...._____________"There is no underwear in Space" - Carrie Fisher
