I have talked about the WS2000 knife sharpening attachment in the past, and I have just recently talked about the new WS3000 knife attachment, but both of those require you already owning one of the two Work Sharp Sharpeners. For those of you that just want to sharpen knives, Work Sharp has a much cheaper solution with the stand alone Knife and Tool Sharpener(Model WSKTS).

The WSKTS is almost identical in function to the attachments for the Work Sharp Sharpeners, just at a much smaller scale. In fact, the smaller width of the belts might even offer a better sharpening solution to some of the more complex blade styles. The system works by using a sharpening guide at either 50 degrees for hunting & outdoor knives, or 40 degrees for kitchen knives to hold the blade, while one of the abrasive belts spins with the help of a 120 volt motor to do the sharpening. Using the three abrasive belts, 80 grit, 220 grit, and 6000 grit, ensures that you get a razor sharp edge on straight bladed knives, curved knives, tanto blades, filet knives, serrated knives, gut hooks, and more. The system even does scissors, or you can remove the guide and go completely freehand.

It would be nice to see Work Sharp come out with a cordless version for hunters, fisherman, and whoever else needs to do some sharpening in areas that lack power. The cost of the WSKTS is similar to one of the WS Knife attachments, so you might have a decision to make if you already own a Work Sharp. Video after Read More

However the old standby electric carving knife has been joined by several other electric knives made for specific purposes. The fisherman has long enjoyed the use of the fish filleting knife. As mentioned above the standard electric carving knife has long been used for cutting foam and other soft non food items.

When a person looks for a knife, it’s an easy task; but once he adds requirements for different functions and tools, it takes more time to get the best one. While looking for an ideal knife make, it is important to be sure of all requirements and what kind of knife one is looking for, for instance a survival knife, hunting knife or pocket knife. When one is clear about his requirements and chooses a pocket knife, he still has to select from a variety of designs and styles like translucent or alox colored models.

It is a rite of passage, and hundreds of types of folding pocket knife have become the ultimate gizmo for any kind of activity – regardless of whether it’s an outside or indoor activity. For open air activities there are some activities which are normal like cutting rope or carving, which can be done quickly with the help of right kind of pocket knife.

One needs to identify in what kind of job for which he will be utilizing knife and then make his selection accordingly. There might be many alternatives available for his task. Selecting the right knife as a fisherman, as outdoor man, a hunter, or even a trekker is important, because the selection can become very specific depending on its general use. Selection of a knife without defining its usage is always a waste of money. One has to keep in mind that one knife might not be for all kind of work.
