How it fits into your sharpening routine
This attachment integrates with the Work Sharp Ken Onion MK.2 Edition Sharpener to deliver a flexible, hands-on edge-making experience.

The adjustable angle range supports various blade geometries, enabling you to follow bevels and functional contours with greater confidence.

The combination of angle control, belt variety, and speed adjustments helps you explore edge profiles, test finishes, and refine technique over time.
