Belated Worksharp Elite Upgrade Kit
Published: 2 years ago
I'ma be real with you. I filmed the unboxing of this and my thoughts when I first got it. It was one of the first wide-angle videos I took. The frame accidentally included my crotch and my hands occasionally looked like I was fondling more than the sharpener.
Then I forgot to reshoot it, so here we are.
It's a nice upgrade, having more grits, changing the magnetic pivot to plastic cages for tighter feeling, and a case. I think the upgrade kit itself is overpriced just a touch for what you're getting. You essentially get a nylon case, 2 tri-brasive sets and a strop. For more than the base set costs.
While they're not available yet, I do like that they've made more parts to the system available to buy. The abrasives are now expanded to 220, 320, 400, 600, 800 & ceramic, and you can also purchase the clamp separately which is great to see.
The strop does do a great job of putting that finishing touch on blades which is great, but the serrated ceramic sharpener on the other side of the strop... was an afterthought at best.
