re: Suggestions on electric knife sharpener..

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."
