I’ve gone through my fair share of sharpening gear over the years. Fixed-angle systems, ceramic rods, guided kits, whetstones—you name it. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m confident sharpening just about anything. So when Work Sharp sent over both the MK2 and the Ken Onion Edition for review, I was curious. I’d never used a powered belt system before, and honestly, I was skeptical. But after spending time with both models, I’ve got to hand it to them—these things are impressive.

They’re nothing like the sharpening systems I’ve grown up with, and they aren’t trying to be. Instead of aiming for slow precision, these tools are all about speed, efficiency, and repeatability. If you’re expecting them to feel like stones or guided systems, you’re going to have to rewire your thinking. But once you do, they’ll surprise you in a good way.
