WS-WSSAKO8112 Work Sharp Grinding Attachment
Elevate your knife‐sharpening game with the WS-WSSAKO8112 Work Sharp Blade Grinding Attachment. Designed to pair perfectly with the Ken Onion Edition Knife & Tool Sharpener (WSKTS-KO; sold separately), this horizontal belt attachment brings professional‐grade precision to your workshop without the bulk or expense of industrial equipment.
Engineered in Southern Oregon by Darex (the powerhouse behind DAREX industrial bit sharpeners and DRILL DOCTOR), the Work Sharp family has crafted this attachment to delight enthusiasts and pros alike. Every component—from the four‐pulley system to the sealed‐bearing spring tensioner—reflects Darex’s legacy of top‐quality sharpening tools, backed by award‐winning customer service and warranty support.
Whether you’re crafting a new blade or restoring a favorite pocketknife, this attachment adapts effortlessly. Dial in your perfect edge with infinite adjustability from 10° to 35° (in 1° increments). Choose between two pulley spacing positions for a full convex or a near-flat edge profile, giving you complete creative control. Swap through 1″ x 18″ engineered abrasive belts in virtually any grit—from coarse stock removal to ultra-fine honing—and even snap on an optional leather stropping belt for a mirror polish.
Speed is key: adjust the belt from 1200 to 2800 feet per minute to match the material and desired finish. The micro-adjust belt‐tracking knob keeps your abrasive centered, so you maintain momentum without stopping to realign. When it’s time for a fresh belt, the tool-free, push-and-turn spring tensioner lets you swap in seconds, keeping you focused on perfecting edges rather than fumbling with hardware.
Compact yet robust, the WS-WSSAKO8112 transforms your Ken Onion Sharpener into a full-featured blade maker’s bench. Shape, sharpen, and hone any knife style—straight or curved—with unmatched consistency and ease. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned craftsman, this attachment will become your go-to for precision edging, prolonging blade life and unlocking peak performance.
Discover why Darex continues to earn top marks in Oregon and beyond. With the Work Sharp Blade Grinding Attachment, every cut is crafted with confidence and quality you can trust.
