Three words come to mind after I used the Work Sharp MK.2, "well thought out". So many products are great concepts but are seemed to be made by someone who isn't invested in the field that the product is intended to be used in, so they lack certain details that truly could make a product better. The MK.2 is not one of those products. They transformed the original sharpener that did lack details into something that is fully functional with a better ease of use. The power trigger allows for a smooth operation using one hand to control the power and the stability as the other hand controls the blade, It's comfortable unlike the original. The 2 speed motor and the quick adjust angle guide allows for a speedy transition when sharpening both hunting, pocket, kitchen and fillet knives which require different angles and speeds for maximum sharpness and durability of the blade. The belts do not wear down fast as far have a good sharpening life. The only dislike I could find would be that it isn't portable power and requires a power source. This product however is still 10/10 as far as sharpeners go in my book!
