Best Knife Sharpener 2023? Let’s Find Out!

Great test

I have a lansky,it was gifted to me I really like it , I'm guessing the edge I get ,is due to how much time I take to getting that sharper edge !

Love the videos!!! But I was hoping you would have tested the work sharp professional precision adjust. Maybe another time

Got me to buy the Lanskey after I shattered the last of my Spyderco sharpmaker rods on our stone floor.

i would have like to see how a motorized sharpener, such as the Chef's Choice, compared. I can easily sharpen a knife in less than a minute with the chef's choice, as opposed to 4 minutes or more with these weird contraptions. If you are sharpenig fifteen knives in your knife holder block at the same time, that is a BIG difference. Was wondering if hand-sharpening was so much better that it justified the 4X longer sharpening time?

Lanskey is what I have, with 5 stones! Excellent price for the performance of the blade!

My uncle was a butcher. They are famous for having sharp knives. When he retired, he used to go around to Butcher shops and meat plants to sharpen their knives. in the trunk of his car, he had a hand crank two grinding wheels that came together and formed a V. He simply spun the wheels pull the knife through about 20 times and it was done. It was incredibly sharp at a perfect edge. He always kept it a secret, so they didn’t buy one for themselves. If you can find one that would be great for the next comparison. Keep up the great work.

Have you done a rotary tool video?

You always do such a great job with the videos so informative

Worksharp has consistently made good products for knife sharpening.

one thing that is apparent is the ones that have a laborious set up time and unwieldy equipment seem to perform the best as they have more than a few stages. if you do another round of this id suggest testing the "spyderco tri angle knife sharpener" as its small, easy to setup and still gives you great flexibility in angle while being quick.

This is great info. In 30 years of trying. I've never mastered the skill of knife sharpening.

i never buy anything expensive without searching your channel first. keep up the great content!

Hey Project Farm, Thanks for another great video

I LOVE YOUR KNIFE SHARPENER __VIDEOS !!!!

Man I would love to see the selectool knife sharpening system tested

Ill stick to my worksharp ken onion edition;)

I really appreciate the time i spend watching PF because i'm not bombarded with adds.

The fact that PF doesn't accept sponsors makes this channel the most trustworthy source of information of the entire web in my opinion. I trust him 100%. Thanks for your awesome job!

On your next test I would like to see “the tumbler” or similar “rolling sharpeners”. I personally use and will never give up my lansky but for my mom I’d like an easy to understand & use sharpener that’s “good enough” for her not to have to wait on me to bring over my lansky 😅

Some Pros in the Sharpening Industry would say youve done the BESS Test wrong.

You need to do it very slow to get repeatable results.

The Worksharp Pro kicks the Precision Adjust's butt. I really like both of them though

I would love to see a side / side comparison of whetstones. Same grit 1000/6000 varying from cheap Amazon - real Japanese stones & naturals.

This has been a hug help. I can never find a sharp knife in the kitchen. I think I can get the work sharp and be able to cut a tomato...

The best sharpener is still a $50.00 Harbor Freight 1x30 belt sander.... need a 600 grit belt to sharpen, then a leather strop belt with green compound = $100.00

Can you test the worksharp guided field sharpener?

Nice. Now pick the best and test different steel kitchen knives.
I've used pull throughs, powered wheel pull throughs, always disappointing.
Bought high quality steel set and they just last for kitchen work.
I would NOT want all my kitchen knives to be razor sharp.

I would have liked to see how the tumbler knife sharpener compares

I’d like a video of best manual soda can crusher.

I’d trust this man.. with anything.

Unfortunately you don't test Tumblr rolling sharpener...

Was not the last experiment actually a test of the knife rather the sharpeners?

If you ever do another knife sharpening video, can you review the "Ken Onion" version of the Work Sharp sharpener? I'm curious how sharp the knives get with that sharpener.

numb brain after listening to this for 12min...

Do you have any thing on door locks and deadbolts what is the best for your home thanks

Ive been watching your channel for years and I pretty much refuse to purchase anthing without checking to see if you have done a review on it....keep up the EXCELLENT work!!

after 14 years of making custom knives I found that using a 1x30 belt grinder and 5 different belts ( 150 - 1000 grit) is the most effective and faster way to put a razor sharp edge on my knives. I personally like a Convex edge, it is the strongest edge and is very easy to strop. This is my personal experience, many people are obsessed with having the sharpest edge they can get, an edge that you get cut by just looking at it. Let's remember that there are many factors that come in place when trying to get a fine edge, such as steel type, heat treatment and edge geometry. You can spend all your money on a sharpening system but at the end of the day, what matters is the quality of the blade because it is not about how sharp you can get the knife, what matters is how long it stays sharp. I can make a rail road spike knife and sharpen it to a razor sharp level but that edge will go bye bye after one cut. Thanks for the comparison! I really enjoy your channel!

Soil and water ph
Measuring/ metering systems would be a great topic to cover. I love your content!!

The work sharp Ken onion edition is my go to knife sharpener. I used to use a lansky turn box, but the work sharp is more efficient.

Your work never fails to impress me. Fantastic! I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thank you for this vid! Guess I'm gonna hafta cross the $100 threshold to get anywhere. Really liking the work sharp(I have a small cheap work sharp, and it does decent), plus I heard about lansky from a coworker friend

I had a kitchen and used a Norton Multi Stone. I got the hang of it easy but 25 years later I broke it down, cleaned it up real nice and flattened the stones after I removed the old oil but I haven't been able to get that great edge. After much searching I settled on and bought the Work Sharp Ken Onion...it's due to arrive soon and I look forward to some nice edges..great review again..

How about testing what seems like the latest trend in knife sharpening .... Roller Knife sharpeners like HORL, Tumbler, Work Sharp and possible some no named ones found on Amazon or AliExpress?

I have the work sharp pro and I can say my knives have never been sharper

As always appreciated. But for knives it is fine an understood now. A year ago or so you tortured scissors. We have this KAI 7000 scissor too. But it has a burr and needs sharpening, however the angle is much larger than 17 degrees, more closely to 40 to 45. Do you have any idea how to sharpen scissors with the stone sharpeners. (i never believed in these pull through sharpeners, which is motivated once again here).

All I better see is the "Edge of Glory" sharpener. If I don't you better go straight to hell... It's the best that ever was or will be and anyone who says different can also go straight to hell.

As usual Todd, wonderful quality video! Thank you!!

On the next sharpener test, can you please include DMT products? They made in the USA.

Please try a rolling sharpener by Tumbler
