Can you import replacement stones? Looks like they're all the norm in the US but the only options we have over here is the £80 'upgrade' set.Hi all

Just thinking ahead
I will check with our German wholesaler if they can get replacement stones - however I think it's fair to say being diamond grit it will be a long time before they would need replacing
Hi Muntjac
I can get the upgrade kits, however they actually work out more expensive than the standard Benchtop sharpener, also to be honest the standard kit & the plates provided deliver results more than adequate for most stalker/meat processing needs.

Yep i had been using lansky for years, switched to the worksharp, made sharpening and more importantly just a wash and brush up and you can get the leather strop on it as well, very easy only takes seconds to bring a blade back to very sharp again, decent piece of kit

Hi Rob if you have any left I would like 1 please ?
Hi Springer
I'm afraid that we sold out again, however I am going to put another order in today with the German wholesaler and this should arrive in the 1st week of November.
If this works for you I'll put you on the back-order list.

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Diamond Plate - 600 - MILITARY store
I found this cheap and some UK sellers after £32 for both replacement diamond stones. I'm not 100% sure they're the same model but worth looking into.

Just to give Rob a big thumbs up as our WorkSharp arrived Monday, great piece of kit and a good deal via the forum. Previously I had been using the Lansky system and struggling to get an edge on the EKA swingblade, but the WorkSharp quickly sorted it out and its razor sharp now...

What angle did you set for EKA ? I was informed there is a secondary bevel at roughly 10 degrees
and that is why they’re hard to sharpen .
My question too given this sharpens to 30 degrees and reading EKA’s G4 website, its blade angle is 40 degreesWhat angle did you set for EKA ? I was informed there is a secondary bevel at roughly 10 degrees

20 deg, was going for around 17 but decided in the end 20, as I thought I could always secondary bevel that. Having used the Lansky previously on the EKA with limited success, I started with coarse cut diamond on each blade side to establish the true angle, followed by the 600 diamond, followed by the stone. I have a headset magnifying glass, so made sure that the cutting bevel was equal in size on both sides of the blade. The instructions say count the strokes to equal the size of the bevel edge, which is ok, but you also need to keep an eye on the bevel width. Be careful with the diamond coarse cut it works very well indeed and quickly takes off metal. The instructions say the sharpening action is up and down slowly moving along the blade, thats ok for inital cuts, but I found it produces a better edge using the 600 diamond if you then move the diamond slowly from back to tip along the bevel edge gently going up and down once before going to the stone. Lastly use minimum force, just a light action.
The above is just my way of working.. it worked for me on the swingblade..

The Worksharp works between 30 and 15 deg. I had tried to sharpen with the lansky system making a secondary bevel, but it never stayed sharp enough. So I thought I had nothing to lose, just go with a 20 deg bevel as per most hunting knives and it worked, huge improvement, its as sharp now as the day it was new.

You have to careful about some manufacturers as they mean the full angle of the blade edge which is twice what others mean when talking about the bevel (I'm sure I could have worded that better). So you are setting the tool to a 20 degree edge. 15, 17 and 20 degree angles will suit all your needs from Kitchen to field.My question too given this sharpens to 30 degrees and reading EKA’s G4 website, its blade angle is 40 degrees
