I have a Norton wet stone and another 3 stone set up. You have to be careful using any kind of electric grinding device. You can ruin the hardness by overheating and also remove way more material than necessary. A good honing steel helps it stay sharp. It just rolls the edge back when it seems dull and keeps you from having to sharpen it unnecessarily.

WS comes with 5 belts different grit. Most of the time you'll only use the last 2 or 3 belts with the finer grits. Or as BigBob said just hit it a few times with the 6000 grit honing belt to bring the edge back to life.

Good instructions come with the WS most hunting/ pocket knives are at 25 degrees, kitchen knives are at 20 degrees. You'll be sharping all knives in the house, don't forget to tell the wife everything is SHARP!
Good luck.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. My Henkels are over 30 years old and sharp as a razor. Here is one of many examples of work with my bonding knife.

Mk.2 or the Ken Onion?

Work Sharp Ken Onion.
I leave mine setup on the work bench. All knives are razor sharp.
Only takes a couple of swipes to keep an edge.

Need recommendations for a decent electric knife sharpener. Not looking to start a business, just for general home use.

I have better things to do with my life minutes than spending hours hand sharpening.......2 minutes or less with the KO worksharp....up

Probably takes me just a few passes on the stone to get the edge back, at the most about a minute, I've never used and electric sharpener but I do like a good diamond stone pon an old dull blade. It takes more material off but when they wear down I just buy another knife. To be honest I find it kind of soothing to sit and put a fine edge on a knife.

Worksharp will turn a good blade into a kukri in no time at all.

I use the work sharp as well. I’m good at many things but sharpening a knife on a stone just isn’t one of them. I cut my losses and just use the WS. It works great and I’ve even used it to sharpen my lawnmower blade. Works like a charm.

I have the Ken Onion and it's the best and easiest sharpener I have owned .

What is the purpose of a kukri?

Utility. While most famed from use in the military, the kukri is the most commonly used multipurpose tool in the fields and homes in Nepal. Its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, digging, slaughtering animals for food, cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening cans.
