xMeet the MK2: Work Sharp's Adjustable Sharpening System
The Work Sharp MK2 Professional Electric Knife and Tool Sharpener is built to adapt to your edges. It enhances the capabilities of the original design with thoughtful improvements that aim for faster, more repeatable sharpening across a wide range of blades and tools you rely on every day.
At the heart of the MK2 are flexible belts that bend to follow blade geometry. These belts act as a grinding surface for kitchen knives, outdoor tools, serrated blades, scissors, pocket knives, and many other common edge tools. The system is designed to handle the variety you encounter in home kitchens, workshops, and gardens without needing multiple devices.
A two-speed motor offers greater control: use the slower setting for precise touch-ups and the faster setting for tougher tasks like mower blades or garden tools. The edge guide carries the blade all the way to the tip, helping you maintain consistency from heel to tip across different blades and sizes.
Designed, engineered, and calibrated in Ashland, Oregon, the MK2 brings together domestic craftsmanship and global sourcing to deliver a sharpening system you can rely on. Each unit undergoes quality checks to ensure dependable performance, making it a practical addition to busy settings where edge maintenance matters.
