Work Sharp RMX - Ultra-Light EDC Folding Knife
updated
First, we demystify knife sharpening, explaining that it's all about simple geometry—creating an apex along the knife's edge. We guide you through the process of sharpening one side at a time until you've restored that perfect point.
But how many abrasives do you need? While there are plenty of options when it comes to abrasives, for beginners, all you need are two: a coarse stone for shaping and a medium to fine stone for refining.
Angles can be intimidating, but don't sweat it! Focus on consistency rather than obsessing over specific angles. We provide practical tips, like using angle guides or everyday objects, to maintain a steady hand.
Choosing the right knife matters. Start with an easy-to-sharpen kitchen knife before tackling more complex blades.
Regular maintenance is key to keeping a sharp knife. Don't let your knives get too dull by neglecting them for too long. Hone and strop regularly.

The Professional Precision Adjust sharpener comes equipped with an impressive array of seven abrasive grits, including 220, 320, 400, 600, 800 diamond, Fine Ceramic, and Leather Strop. However, our quest is to take these sharpening techniques beyond the standard offering.
Here's a preview of the three techniques we've employed:
Microfilms - We've delved into the use of microfilms after utilizing the standard abrasive set provided with the PRO PA, aiming to ascertain whether they offer a significant advantage.
1200 Grit Diamond - The question we explore is whether adding one more grit option can truly make a noticeable difference in the sharpening process.
Water and Ceramic - We've introduced the intriguing concept of enhancing the ceramic experience by adding a touch of water to the mix. Can this simple addition yield more impressive results?
To evaluate the outcomes, we've enlisted the expertise of Josh, who will undertake a battery of tests, including:
Employing a "Bess Tester" to measure the cutting force required, where lower scores are indicative of sharper knives.
A meticulous visual inspection to assess edge quality and identify any imperfections.
Utilizing a digital microscope to scrutinize the edges with exceptional precision.
Concluding the assessment by cutting paper to evaluate the knives' performance and gauge the edge's feel.
Josh will then systematically rank the knives based on their performance, and share his insightful conclusions regarding the efficacy of each sharpening method.
Throughout the video, we'll reveal some surprising discoveries and emphasize the paramount importance of selecting the right abrasives for your knife sharpening needs.
