Push vs. Pull! What is the Best way to sharpen a knife? Work Sharp Precision Adjust

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener: Fixed Angle Sharpening Technique Explained

A small debate has sparked since we released the Work Sharp Precision Adjust (PAJ) Knife Sharpener. Should you push the abrasive into the knife or pull it away? Is a sawing motion better, or is a sweeping motion more beneficial for the sharpest finish? In this video, we take feedback from users and put these sharpening techniques to the test.

Using the Professional Precision Adjust fixed-angle sharpening system, similar to what you’d find with Wicked Edge, KME, or Edge Pro, we demonstrate how to sharpen a knife with Work Sharp. With the help of our Dino Lite magnifier, we show which technique yields the best results for professional-level sharpness.

Whether you’re a fan of the push or pull method, this video dives into the nuances of knife sharpening, helping you master the technique with confidence.

Learn how to sharpen a knife like a pro with the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener.
