Worksharp Professional Precision Adjust
The recently launched Worksharp Professional Precision Adjust has once again been a winner for the folks at Worksharp Tools. When they launched the original Precision Adjust it totally changed the way that people sharpened knives. Quoting from Worksharp Tools website:-
“For those wanting full control of the sharpening experience, the Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener™ is an angle adjustable, three abrasive grit, knife sharpening system that delivers precision and repeatability by controlling both the edge angle and the blade in unison.
Sharpening Angle can be easily adjusted from 15° to 30° in 1° increments to sharpen every knife you own. Tri-Brasive® includes 320 grit coarse and 600 grit fine diamond plates to quickly restore a sharp edge, and a fine grit ceramic stone to hone an incredibly keen edge on your knives.
Innovative V-Block Clamp™ design quickly and safely secures the knife and rotates 180° at the push of a button when sharpening to make it faster and easier. Sharpening base provides a stable platform for benchtop sharpening.
From your favorite kitchen knife to your hard working EDC, the Precision Adjust can handle them all and deliver incredible results every time.
– Rod and clamp sharpener designed with ease and safety in mind
– 15° – 30° Angle Guides”
A lot of thought was put into The Worksharp Professional Precision Adjust and it has added many improvements over the original Precision Adjust. Again quoting from the Worksharp Tools website
“The Professional Precision Adjust™ is a complete angle adjustable knife sharpening system using metal construction, a digital angle indicator, and seven abrasive grits to bring rigidity, repeatability, and precision to your knife sharpening needs. The sharpening angle easily adjusts from 15° to 30° using a digital angle indicator to accurately and repeatably set your sharpening angle. The 1” x 6” abrasives include a full assortment: 220, 320, 400, 600, and 800 grit diamond, a ceramic honing plate, and a leather strop that polishes your edge to mirror sharp. The abrasives are easily interchanged using a common handle, which includes a ceramic rod for honing serrations. The innovative V-Block Clamp™ quickly, securely, & repeatably secures your knife. The weighted base provides a safe and stable platform that allows rotating the knife without removing the knife or clamp. The included small knife table attachment allows you to sharpen small pen knives down to a 15° angle. 3-Year Warranty.

The hinged base allows for the easy rotation of even large knives. It’s possible to just rotate small blades by pressing the red release button without using the hinge feature. To do this though the support must first be removed which means your fingers getting really close to the edge of the knives. Using the hinge and rotate feature means that the support stays in place and the rotated clamped knife just comes to rest back on the support.
The common handle is magnetic and screws into place. The abrasive plates then just magnetically attach to the handle making progressing through the grits very easy. Before rotating the handle slides into a holder keeping it out of the way which is a great feature.
The electronic angle guide assist in making sure that the correct angle is set. This can change depending on where the blade is clamped making the electronic guide more accurate than the mechanical measure indicated by the white arrows.
We used the Worksharp Professional Precision Adjust to sharpen everything from a medium sized Honey Badger Wharn Cleaver all the way up to an 8″ chef’s knife. It is a much more solid and stable unit than the original Precision Adjust and the results speak for themselves. One slicing chef’s knife we sharpened to 17 degrees per side and went all the way down to a polished ceramic finish. The other 8″ chef’s knife we stopped at a toothy 400 grit and just finished it off with the leather strop.
Another winner from Worksharp Tools
Great knife
Got the large Honey Badger Drop point. Great everyday carry knife. Super sharp! Happy with my purchase. Can only recommend it.
Great budget knives that compete with other brands. Only complaint is that the finish on the edges of the scales could be nicer. Otherwise perfect.
Can’t say enough about my experience with honey badger. Knife was sharp out of the box and arrived quick. When I mistakenly ran my knife through the dryer I lost some parts and thought I would be buying a new one, when I contact customer service, they not only sent me the parts I needed but also helped me identify parts I didn’t know I was missing. All within the hour. Really can’t say enough, honey badger customer service is probably the best I’ve ever experienced
Just got my 1st knife yesterday, and I must say, from the ones I looked at and investigated, Honey Badger stood out for me and I am extremely happy with my choice.
Only handled one and it was a great blade!
I had to leave a review. They are a knife company
Superb Craftsmanship and design, Excellent EDC Knife!
Honey badger has some great knives give them a follow on instagram too.
The large drop point is my jam!! How perfectly this knife is engineered and appointed is almost an enigma to me! How did they get it to be so good and so budget friendly?
Honey Badger Knives are top notch for quality.
I do not own a a Honey Badger knife at the moment but I’ve heard nothing but good about these guys! I’m a beginning knife enthusiast and I live for the more budget friendly and on the occasion one that is more expensive for my collection. I’m adding all knives from different brands and if I won a knife from Honey Badger then they will have a spot in my collection and hopefully grow with the other brands I have now. Here’s to winning giveaways 🤘
I live in south Africa and love the Honey Badger knifes, excellent product competitive with ANY top tier name brands, parts and warrantee available easily. I will NEVER buy another top tier knife from abroad!!
Great quality at a great price point, replacement parts and ways to customize your knife. What more could you ask for?
honey badger has really good high quality knifes. i was gifted one, and since then i have it in my pocket all the time. once i lost it, so i told my family that who ever finds it gets 20 ILS
I love honey badger knives design.
Best pocket knife I’ve owned. Have carried all the major brands for years. And great options in other brands, but what impressed with this brand is truly the quality of the blade, fit and finish. This is a gentleman’s/grown up’s knife though. Thin super sharp blade. If you use a knife as a screw driver and to jam into hard things, look elsewhere.
Just bought the honeybadger knife HB1017 flipper medium and I am well satisfied with it except for the lock bar. When you close the blade the release nub has a sharp edge that hits the end of your thumb. I filed the edge off without a problem but I feel this should be addressed by the designer.
Nice looking knife!
Great knives at a reasonable price
