It lets you sharpen EDC, kitchen and outdoor knives faster, more easily and more accurately than ever before - a professional sharpening system for all knife enthusiasts looking for a versatile, uncompromising sharpener for many types of knives.

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite sharpener features:

• wide sharpening angle range: 15-30°,
• precise adjustment in 1° increments,

• 3 sharpening blocks with 7 abrasive surfaces,
• steel guide rod with rubber travel stops,

The main idea behind modern sharpening systems is to maintain a constant sharpening angle between the sharpener and the edge of the blade. The system eliminates many human errors and greatly reduces the time needed to restore a cutting edge and to learn the correct sharpening technique.
Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite allows even an inexperienced user to achieve a razor-sharp edge quickly, repeatably and predictably. The professional system lets you carry out every stage of knife sharpening:

• quick sharpening,
• cutting edge restoration,
• changing the cutting edge angle,
• sharpening the working edge,
• polishing and honing,
• sharpening plain and serrated knives.

Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite is an adjustable-angle sharpening system with 7 abrasive surfaces, offering precision and ease of use. The sharpening angle can be adjusted from 15° to 30° with 1° accuracy, so you can sharpen kitchen, everyday and outdoor knives. The set includes up to 3 sharpening modules with diamond plates, ceramic and natural leather that will quickly restore, sharpen and polish any cutting edge. The rotating clamp design holds the knife steadily and securely and lets you sharpen both sides without removing the knife.

The Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite system consists of a polymer base, a frame with the sharpening angle adjustment system and 3 sharpening modules with integrated guide rods. Non-slip feet let you place the sharpener stably on a workbench, table or desk. The lightweight, modular design allows the system to be quickly disassembled and conveniently transported.

Smoothly adjustable sharpening angle on the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite

The greatest advantage of the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite system is its impressive sharpening angle adjustment from 15° to 30°. Unlike systems with just a few approximate settings, this system offers smooth sharpening angle adjustment with 1° accuracy. Clear markings and a large knob make adjustment precise, convenient and quick.

Recommended sharpening angle settings:

• 15° - fillet knives, kitchen knives,
• 20° - EDC knives, pocket knives,
• 25° - large EDC folders, hunting and outdoor knives,
• 30° - survival knives, heavy-duty tools.

V-shaped clamps (V Block Clamp) are designed to hold the knife stably and securely. Rubber inserts in the jaws prevent the blade from slipping and protect it from scratches. No tools are needed to open or lock the clamps - a convenient ring is used for this. The rotating design holds the knife steadily and lets you sharpen both sides without removing the knife. The V-shaped clamps work over a 180° range: by pressing the locking button, you can rotate the clamps with the knife secured and start sharpening the other side of the blade. The clamps attach magnetically, making it simple and convenient to fit them into the base.

Sharpening modules in the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite sharpener

To extend the sharpener's capabilities, the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite uses 3 sharpening modules with up to 7 abrasive surfaces.

• A three-sided coarse block with diamond plates in 220, 320 and 400 grit - ideal for restoring a cutting edge and forming a new edge,
• a three-sided fine block with 2 diamond plates in 600 and 800 grit and a fine ceramic plate - for proper sharpening,
• a block with a leather strop and a round ceramic rod - for final honing of the blade and sharpening serrated edges.

This impressive set of sharpening tools lets you handle every knife restoration, sharpening and edge refinement task. Diamond sharpeners can sharpen high-hardness knives such as CPM-S30V, M390, D2 and others. Diamond is harder than sintered carbide, making sharpening much faster and easier, but keep in mind that a diamond sharpener removes steel more aggressively. The high-grit ceramic plate complements the diamond plates - it lets you polish the edge to razor sharpness and regularly maintain the knife's sharpness. The leather strop lets you polish the cutting edge to an extremely high level of sharpness. An additional innovation is a separate rod for sharpening serrated edges.

The steel guide rod of each sharpening module ends in a ball joint that ensures a constant angle and smooth sharpening. The guide rod attaches magnetically, without additional tools. The guide rod's extension range can be adjusted with rubber rings depending on the blade size. The set includes a hard case with a lock that holds the 3 sharpening blocks and the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite sharpener itself.

Stabilizer for increased rigidity during sharpening

In response to user suggestions, Kolba developed an adjustable Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite stabilizer designed to stabilize and stiffen the arm. Increasing the stability of the knife holder helps maintain a constant sharpening angle and sharpen the cutting edge precisely without unnecessary corrections.

When designing the sharpener stabilizer, we focused on 3 key aspects: simplicity of design, functionality and durability. The support consists of a nylon block fitted with steel bolts and nuts. The adjustment system allows precise setting of the sharpener arm's rigidity. Installing the stabilizer is simple and does not require detaching the holder. Just slide the support under the arm, adjust its height (if necessary) and you can start precise sharpening at a constant angle.

Work Sharp Precision Adjust sharpener stabilizer features:

• ensures arm rigidity and stabilization during sharpening,
• convenient height adjustment,
• instant installation without detaching the knife holder,
• sturdy nylon and steel construction,
• designed and made in Poland.
