Best Knife Sharpener 2023? Let’s Find Out!

Yessss! Another knife video! I’d love to see a comparison of knife steels. 440, s30v, s35, s45, cruwear, magnacut, vg10, 15n20, d2, etc.

I always appreciate the macro photography included in your videos. It helps show how well these products perform, and you don’t get that kind of shot from other people trying out sharpeners.

I absolutely love how straight to the point these videos are.

I was drinking some of my Ozzie's Coffee this morning and I realized that I don't really buy tools or garage chemicals without checking here first. I remember when I first found your channel like 5 or 6 years ago, I thought to myself something like "this is what we need, more of this," and since then you've done so much for all of us its hard to wrap my head around. Your commitment to fair and relevant testing is amazing, and it has only gotten better over time. It feels kinda strange to say this, but you're a hero to me. You're out here doing something that needs done, something that makes a difference to the good of the public, and you're committed to doing it right. That speaks to me. Thank you.

I purchased the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust last week. I am confident in saying that I will never need to purchase another sharpening tool again. At $250 it was definitely an investment, but it is stupid simple to use, and works for everything from my kitchen and pocket knives to my arrowheads. True 10/10 for me. I’m 33, and I don’t run into anything that changes my life often at this point. This definitely did.

👍 I respect you for the amount of work and money put into the tests, repeatability of tests, and reliability. Additionally, your materials are concise and objective. Maintain this level of professionalism, it's rare on YT. I wish the company I work for had such engineers :)

I've been sharpening knives for about 60 years, and sharpen a lot for family and friends. I prefer using flat stones, but picked up a Lansky kit at a yard sales a few months back. I was curious, it was brand new, and the price was right. I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations. I have only one complaint. Despite the guide holes used for various angles, the actual angle depends on how far the blade's edge is from the guide hole. The lowest guide hole provides the smallest angle, but what angle this really is depends on the width and length of the blade and where the blade is clamped. I dont know that I'd pay $88 for this, but it was well worth the $5 I paid.

I started watching this channel because of one of your previous knife sharpener reviews and got the work sharp because of it. It's been over a year and I'm very happy with the purchase!

Your rigs/jigs you always make are impressive. Your a national treasure bud. We appreciate all research you do.

HUGE difference in time and options when I upgraded from the Work Sharp to the Hapstone. Eventually, those stones will wear out and need to be replaced. You have tons of options for the Hapstone (grit, stones: aluminum oxide, carbide, ceramic, diamond, CBN, stropping materials: cow, horse, kangaroo, etc.). You can also purchase an attachment for sharpening scissors.

I never feel like watching your videos is a waste of time ,I always learn something while your explanations are right on and it’s amazing how you fit so much in a short video,thanks,peace brother…

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

Been using Lansky for about 3 decades. Upgraded to Lansky diamond stones 10-15 years ago when harder blade steels like M390, M4, S90V steels became popular. Also use Lansky leather strop with compound to finish. All total less than $150 spent and my blades can thin cut phonebook paper or whittle a hair. I recommend a Angle Cube with the Lansky as Angle Slots are not accurate and blade position in the mount can affect hone angle but overall, Lansky is the original fixed angle sharpener and still holds it own against the newcomers..

I recently 3d printed an angle guide for my whetstone, and it works like a charm! It's like regularly using a whetstone but you don't need any skills for it

I own the Lansky sharper but only paid about $39 for it years ago. I like it so much I have purchased a few and given them as gifts. Great reviewing!

I'm legit so happy this video exists! I got a nice pocket knife for Christmas and had no idea what's good for sharpening it! Thank you soooooo much! ❤

Knife sharpener videos just don’t get boring, really appreciate you putting these through some tests. I think that the quality of the stones are a big part of any sharpening system. I’ve had issues with “diamond stones”, because as we all know one diamond is not the same as the next. The very inexpensive diamond stones do not seem to last. Another good practical video from project farm. Thanks you and have a GREAT NEW YEAR ! All the best to you and yours.

I bought the Lansky sharpener many years ago. It is affordable and does a great job of sharpening most knife blades in very short time. You can get additional sharpening stones to fit the kit from extra course to ultra fine ceramic, and leather stropping attachment too.

This was a pretty hardcore test of all different kinds of knife sharpeners! Super cool to see you digging deep to find the best one that's worth our bucks.

Got my first Lansky kit 30 years ago. After breaking one of the stones the wife bought me a new kit. I combined them so I now have extra stones and parts and I love it. They are standard stones, not the diamond. I've used it so much that it takes me no time at all to set up and use (just due to my familiarity with it) and i can put a fantastic edge on my knives. I dont use the stand, just hand hold it.
