Work Sharp WSKTS-KO-W Knife & Tool Sharpener Ken Onion Edition
This should really be a question up in the stickied FAQ thread.

I watched the video and it says to turn on and turn off with the knife blade in contact with the belt. About how many passes to do find it takes to sharpen a knife?

Not many at all, but learn on a cheap knife. It can remove material in a hurry if you're not careful about grit and it'll blunt the tip even faster.
That's not to say don't get one; I love mine FWIW. What I said above is pretty standard advice to anybody who's never used one. I don't use the guides any more and I have a leather belt that fits it for stropping and get great results.

i was wondering what the difference between the worksharp MK2 and Ken Onion was. I came across this and thought maybe it would help others who may be reading this thread.
"What does the Ken Onion model do that the Mk.2 does not?
1. The Ken Onion (KO) allows for a larger variety of sharpening angles. Anywhere between 15° and 30°. The MK.2 only allows for 20° and 25°
2. KO also has variable speeds and a speed lock, which the MK.2 does not. The MK.2 has two settings. High and low.
3. KO also uses Norax belts vs the MK.2 which uses the same belts as the MK.1. The Norax belts last longer.- The KO also provides more options for belts so you can progress through your sharpening journey a little bit more precisely.
4. The single largest advantage the Ken Onion has is that it allows for addition of the Blade Grinding Attachment (BGA). The BGA can sharpen just about anything you would want allowing for angles from 10°-35° in 1° increments.
To answer a specific question, the guide on the Ken Onion is very similar to the MK.2 but it’s actually a little nicer. It has rubber rollers that help you pull through and remain consistent."

6-8 passes on each side with each belt has worked for me.

I put everything at 20 degrees. Should my filet knives go to 15?

Buy a warthog sharpener. Light, easy, very effective

Second this. There is no better answer in my opinion

I use a paper wheel system on a bench grinder and it gets your knife razor sharp in a like 30 seconds, takes practice because it’s free hand but it’s absolutely amazing.

I love my warthog. Definitely not cheap, but a couple passes through it occasionally will keep your knives super sharp

A friend has one and they do produce an amazing edge. Only reason I didn't get one after using his is the edge profile, but if you're good with a hollow grind they're fantastic.
