KitchenIQ’s Diamond Deluxe Edge Grip™ 2-Stage Knife Sharpener is lightweight, portable and easy to use on either a flat surface or the edge of your countertop or table. Diamond-coated rods and crossed ceramic blades feature pre-set sharpening angles that provide the proper sharpening angle every time. Diamond-coated rods (coarse) provide quick edge-setting capabilities and the ceramic blades (fine) are used for the final edge honing. These two stages offer the capability to put a razor-sharp edge on very dull or damaged blades and touch-up already sharp blades. It comes with non-slip rubber feet and a soft-grip rubber handle for comfort and steadiness when sharpening. The patented design allows for added stability and comfort when using the sharpener on the edge of your countertop or table.

Consumer Reports

What we like: Small size, sharpens quickly.

What we don't like: Can't sharpen serrated knives.

amazon.com

 The design allows it to fit on the edge of the table or counter. You can use it either right or left handed.

Nice little compact sharpener

This works great on my knives. Only complaint is that it is on the smaller side, which is great for storing it away, but I wish it were larger so I could get a more secure-feeling grip while using it.  Overall great purchase and would purchase again

Works great, but on smaller side

If you are willing to try, look into the Work Sharp Precision Adjust sharpener. It’s a relatively budget friendly sharpening setup, and with some practice/research, sharping 20CV will be no problem

I recently bought a brand new Benchmade Griptillian in 20CV, and the blade edge just completely sucks. The edge is so bad, that I can hardly use it. I couldn't slice a rubber hose with it, which was its first task. It struggles to break down boxes. I couldnt slice the candle wax off of a fancy beer with it last weekend, and this morning I couldn't cut thin rope that was tightly affixed across a package.

There are no local knife sharpeners in my town. I don't own any stones, nor know how to use them, and honestly don't have time to undertake learning that at the moment.  I know I can send it back to Benchmade and have them sharpen it, but honestly, I'm seeing the product of them sharpening it right now, in its brand new out of box condition -- and it sucks.

So, is there anyone on here who runs a reputable sharpening biz? Is there a product I could buy that is dummy proof and will work on 20CV without breaking the bank?

I really like the look and feel of the knife. The blade is perfectly centered, there's no play in it, and I really enjoy everything about it, other than its complete lack of an edge.

How to sharpen 20CV

To be clear - this is review is exclusively just my own personal experience with the precision elite setup, and I have no doubt the vast majority of people have no issues with this product granting they aren't primarily sharpening higher-end kitchen blades and aren't prone to stressing over perfection in achieving a mirror finish.  The design itself is great in most ways - it's not made from cheap garbage plastic, the sharpening plates are stellar, and the tri-rod design is substantially better than any other fixed grit sharpener I've seen or used.  Unfortunately there were a few problems with my unit that caused enough of a headache that made this a poor purchase in my case.  I'll be the first to admit I'm far from a grandmaster blade sharpener in any sense, if I were I wouldn't've needed to buy a fancy honing guide - but I've got roughly 5 years under my belt of maintaining primary and secondary chisel bevels to a preferred 20k grit before stropping on 60k compound, so I'm familiar with how it's done

 It might've been the intended use, but it may also prevent me from returning or getting a full refund as well.  I'm somewhat disappointed they didn't include a "blank" tri-rod that would allow you to either plate higher grit plates or stones, possibly a flat side for those who like to use adhesive backed SiC with grits around 2k-20k. There's even a fourth tri-rod slot that's empty when shipped.  It's also somewhat unfortunate that the company hasn't designed a secondary adjustment column that would fit chisels in an appropriate way, and shift the angle adjustment up to 25 or 30-45°

 There's even a fourth tri-rod slot that's empty when shipped.  It's also somewhat unfortunate that the company hasn't designed a secondary adjustment column that would fit chisels in an appropriate way, and shift the angle adjustment up to 25 or 30-45°. Granted, if they kept the magnetic v-clamp base they'd need to include some sort of tension knob to firmly secure it after it's in place.  If I had a unit like this that supported a chisel when I first started out woodworking, I'd wager I'd have saved literal days in time spent trying to halfhazardly reshape the bevel for a chisel I'd dropped on the floor for the second time that day like a dingus

 (Almost always with a honing guide, to be transparent. Excluding strop touch ups.)  In regards to sharpening kitchen blades, the base of the unit isn't weighted at all. Using my (approx

Fantastic Diamond Plates - Great for Small Blades, Iffy For Large

 So here we have a bunch of different grits Which we will get into in a second. And then here's the actual sharpener itself. I really like the use of magnets for that Now when it comes to the actual sharpening we've got a few different choices to pick from here We can start at 220 these actually rotate so then we can go up to 320 and then on this one goes up to 400 They have this little like ball joint on here and this piece of metal actually goes right up inside the stand And then there's a magnet up top here so you just slip that in and then that magnet locks that into place Now typically on the high-end professional sharpeners that I have I want to basically Make a nice long path from the back of the blade all the way out to the tip You can also do it in segments though because we have this pretty pronounced belly here. It's kind of short I'm going to start on 400 and just sort of work this back and forth Now I'm noticing that I'm not actually hitting that sharpie edge on here So what I'm going to do is adjust the angle of this to adjust the angle You can go from 30 all the way down to 100 Adjust the angle you can go from 30 all the way down to 15 probably even a little bit higher and lower Probably going to sharpen this at about a 20 degree angle so I'm going to twist this down That will change the angle now let's try this again Now that is a pretty good angle I don't know if you guys can tell but I've gotten rid of Most of that sharpie there's still a little bit on the tip there so I will work on that And now that I know that my angle is set I can actually sharpen this thing the way that I normally would I should note that I'm really not pushing down on this at all

 It's popping a few hairs there I think this kit is going to be great for anyone like myself who's just a knife enthusiast and you want to have a decent Edge on your blade, but you don't need like a eight hundred dollar professional sharpening system I have something like that And now that I have this I don't even really use it puts a great edge on there if you're not doing it in front Of a camera with a bunch of stuff in your way You can fine tune them even more and get these knives insanely sharp So if you have any questions on it, let me know in the comments down below I'll try to answer anything as best as possible I'll also leave some links in the description where you can pick one of these up on amazon right now starting at forty nine dollars All the way up to I believe 119 which is for the full Elite kit which you just saw me use so that's all for today if you're new here consider clicking subscribe and make new videos every week As always thanks for watching. I'll talk to you in the next one

 I really like the use of magnets for that Now when it comes to the actual sharpening we've got a few different choices to pick from here We can start at 220 these actually rotate so then we can go up to 320 and then on this one goes up to 400 They have this little like ball joint on here and this piece of metal actually goes right up inside the stand And then there's a magnet up top here so you just slip that in and then that magnet locks that into place Now typically on the high-end professional sharpeners that I have I want to basically Make a nice long path from the back of the blade all the way out to the tip You can also do it in segments though because we have this pretty pronounced belly here.

I'm not really using much pressure I'm just pinching the top here and then working the edge of the blade just to make a little bit of a burr Now that I've got a decent burr on there push the button in the back and Spin this thing around now I can work on the other side Now I'm noticing that this 400 grit is still pretty rough because I typically don't sharpen down this gritty So the more you use these stones the more they will break in and the better they will get over time So right now this is a little bit rough but we'll make it work Really want to work on that tip make sure everything is nice and even all the way through that belly And now I can alternate sides Doing about 10 passes right now And that should be plenty for the 400 grit Now I'm going to move right up to 600 grit snap that into place Make sure we are on 600. I'm going to flip this again and continue You really want to make sure you get towards the back of the blade as well Widening the edge just a little bit and it's all the way down I'm widening the edge just a little bit and it's already looking a heck of a lot better Now if I rotate this we can move right up to 800 You can already tell that edge is shining through now Definitely hard to tell on video, but I'll give you guys a close-up once we're done Now also on this same stone we have ceramic Flip this and we're going to start to work almost a mirror edge on here The higher in grits you go the more you will notice that the stones start to just glide across there It's a good indication that you are sharpening the way you should be And again, I'm doing like little to no effort

My Favorite Knife Sharpener | Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite

 Today we're gonna be taking a look at one of my new favorite knife sharpeners. We're gonna put an edge on this blade

 We're talking about the work sharp precision adjust sharpener

 What's going on everyone back with another episode of stuff and things today we're talking about knife sharpening

 This is probably one of my all-time favorite kits out there

 Really budget-friendly right in the middle of the road as far as like super professional knife sharpeners go and then just like little handheld deals

 The reason I haven't reviewed this yet is because it is typically out of stock

 But right now as I'm filming this video, they are in stock starting from

 $49.99 and then they go up to more of the elite kits like this one that I'm showing you today for about

 $119 now typically I don't like top-down videos, but when it comes to knife sharpening, that's gonna be the best way to do it

 So let's head over to the workbench and show you guys how this thing works

 All right, guys, here we go, this is the work sharp sharpeners precision adjust kit

 So it comes with a nice little carrying case for all the stones and everything if you opt for the regular version

 Which is just $49.95. I believe on Amazon right now

 You don't get as many stones and sharpening grits

 But I prefer this case because it gives you just a little bit more and you can put a finer edge on your blade

 So you have some instructions here on how to use it. I'm just gonna explain

 To you guys how I use it. So here we have a bunch of different grits

 Which we will get into in a second. And then here's the actual sharpener itself. You have a base

 You have the adjustment part and then you have the jaws that will hold your knife in place

 So to set this thing up, it is very simple. You put the base down

 Clip that into place and then the actual jaws that hold your knife. They are magnetic

 So they just snap into place like that. One thing that you're gonna see me using throughout this video is this little push button on the back

 If you push your thumb into that you can flip these jaws around and sharpen both sides of the knife

 Very very easily today. I'm gonna be putting an edge on the Trayvax Trek

 This is the knife that I keep in my van great little camp knife

 I use it for food prep mainly and as you can see

 Maybe the edge on this thing is super super thin

 So let's sharpen this thing up and see how sharp we can make it
