Work Sharp or Ken Onion version

Is the Ken Onion worth the extra $$? Looking to pick one of these up for knives and also want to sharpen my mower blades. What have your experiences been?

Thanks!

Just got the work sharp version for Christmas. So far it appears to be a good qaulity unit. It does take a little practice though. I flattened out the tip of the knife I tried. Havent seen the Ken Onion version though.

Be careful with the tips of your knives using these, as said watch the videos and take your time until you get used to it.

I picked up a Smith’s sharpener for my knives at Fleet Farm and am very impressed with it. For $6-7 it works great… I use my high speed hand grinder for mower blades. Smith’s sharpener

I debated between the KO and less spendy one and went the cheaper route. I love it but don’t know if I’m missing anything not having the KO version.
I sharpened kitchens knives and the 1st time the wife used them, she cut her finger. Must have been used to the dull ones !

I have the oldest model, currently selling for $60
Bought my brother the $100 model for christmas…No idea what model the $100 one is, but when he opened the box, i saw he had an extra attachment with different cutting angles on it.

i seen the k/o at fleet farm and it was darn near double, now i’m confused my self

I’ve had a Worksharp for several yrs. Works great on anything that needs sharping. Knives, garden tools, mower blades, etc. Love it!!!

The Ken Onion looks a lot more versatile. If it were me I would search the web for best price. I have been happy with my work sharp but an improved model designed with Ken Onion has to be better.
