Greetings to all you sharp people out there! I recently moved from the regular Ken Onion Work Sharp to the Blade Grinder attachment and have 9 belts that are brandy new that I would like to give away to a lucky person.

Just post in this thread and this Friday July 17th, I'll draw a number and announce the winner and mail out the belts on Saturday to you.

Those folks in the USA, sorry no out of country on this one.

It's a great sharpener, but I'm changed fully to using the larger belts, which I would also recommend to anyone looking for an excellent variable speed sharpener.

Thanks and best of luck folks!

Please remove from contest,

I'm definitely in. Just got the KOWS a few weeks ago and it has made a significant difference in my ability to fix up old knives and tune in the others.

More belts = good!

Thanks for the chance... :thumbup:
 
I could use some extra belts since it seems like I sharpen other people's knives more than my own, thanks!
 
No Problem AJ and also welcome to the forums!

The 9 belts range from coarse, medium and up to the blue fine ones, I think you'll like em'

And I'll have to check out the leather belt for the blade grinder, sounds like a good one to have!

Are you able to get better results with the blade grinding attachment? I'll provide a good home to your unwanted belts!

The honing belt comes with some real nice green compound & some Vasoline. You rub the Vasoline into the belt first & then the green compound then rub it in with a dull piece of metal till the compound is evenly on the belt. Run the Worksharp at a medium speed & it will work great. As with all work Sharp tools a light touch works best. Let the abrasive do the work.
I wish they would make a machine with all the features the Blade Grinder has that uses 1" X 30" or 1" X 42" belts.Lets see I just got my wire welder going & I have some old equipment I can modify. ALWAYS buy belt grinders that are cheap at garage sales & flea markets. Just hide them from the wife & if she ask's just say I got it for $3.00 at a garage sale! LOL. I have found lot's of American made knives, straight razors, hones & strops for next to nothing at garage sales & flea Markets.Always dicker on price. I have got some stuff for half price or less sometimes.
Wow! I got off track but I am a tinker at heart & always trying to make new or mofify a tool for my purpose
