Professional Technology at Home
The Ken Onion Edition sharpener is the result of collaboration between Work Sharp engineers and knife designer Ken Onion, creator of the SpeedSafe blade-opening system. Their shared goal was to develop a highly versatile sharpening platform with precision, expanded functions, and repeatable results.

Professional knife makers use grinders and flexible abrasive belts to achieve factory-sharp edges. With the Ken Onion Edition Mk.2, the same technology is available for home and workshop use, delivering professional results quickly and accurately.

Flexible abrasive belts (19 x 305 mm) play a key role, sharpening almost any blade shape at a fixed angle. The guide angle is adjustable from 15° to 30°, enabling consistent and customizable edges. The variable-speed motor with electronic control allows precise handling, from heavy grinding and burr removal to smoothing and polishing.

Blade Grinding Attachment Performance

• Built with durable polymer-metal construction to withstand grinding stress

• Attaches to the sharpener without tools

• Quick, simple belt replacement

• Accepts sanding belts sized 25.4 x 457 mm in different grit levels

• Belt tension controlled by a 4-roller system, adjustable between 10° and 35° with 1° precision

• Belt speed adjustable from 1200 to 2800 SFM, depending on the task

• Central transport roller can be repositioned without tools for belt height and tension adjustments

The grinding attachment provides two-handed precision and full visibility of the sharpening process, ensuring efficient results. It expands the functionality of the Ken Onion Edition Mk.2 sharpener by adding grinding, blade re-profiling, and polishing capabilities without requiring a separate machine.
