{"product_id":"work-sharp-guided-sharpening-system-wsgss","title":"Work Sharp - Guided Sharpening System - WSGSS","description":"The Guided Sharpening System (GSS) is Work Sharp’s complete benchtop sharpening and honing system. The GSS was created with both novice and master sharpeners in mind, and can be used to sharpen every knife you own. The innovative Pivot-Response System follows the curve of the blade while sharpening, putting a sharp edge along the entire length of the blade. The skill is built into the tool. No jigs. No clamps. No nonsense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse the GSS to put a perfect edge on your pocket, hunting, and kitchen knives – as well as serrations, fish hooks, and tools – while mastering your manual sharpening skills. Experienced sharpeners will appreciate the thought-out features that make this such a versatile and complete knife and tool sharpening system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the Guided Sharpening System, you have the choice of how you want to sharpen a knife, based on your skill level and the type of blade you want to sharpen. The Pivot-Response can be locked-out, creating a traditional sharpening surface for straight blades, or engaged to evenly sharpen curved blades – without changing the sharpening motion. If you are new to sharpening or haven’t had success with sharpening stones, activating the Pivot-Response will do the work for you. It puts the skill in the tool and makes manual sharpening easy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Guided Sharpening System features:\u003cbr\u003e1.25\" x 6” coarse (320 grit) and fine (600 grit) Diamond Sharpening Plates\u003cbr\u003e17° and 20° Angle Guides\u003cbr\u003eCoarse and Fine Ceramic Hone with built-in Angle Guides\u003cbr\u003e3 sizes of ceramic rods to sharpen serrations\u003cbr\u003ePivot-Response technology\u003cbr\u003eRemovable diamond plate holder for sharpening tools\u003cbr\u003eSharpens:\u003cbr\u003e• Curved Blades\u003cbr\u003e• Straight Blades\u003cbr\u003e• Serrations\u003cbr\u003e• Tools\u003cbr\u003e• Hooks and Fine Points\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most challenging aspects of sharpening with flat stones is achieving a consistently sharp edge along the entire length of the blade. The proper angle must be maintained during the entire sharpening process. While straight blades require a simple push along the abrasive, curved blades must rotate along the profile while maintaining the proper sharpening angle. The technique is difficult and time consuming to master. Pivot-Response puts the skill into the Guided Sharpening System, allowing you to use the same, simple, straight-blade technique with curved blades. There’s no need to master a different technique for different blade profiles or use the complicated jigs and elaborate clamping systems found on other sharpeners. Pivot-Response can also be locked out, creating a traditional rigid sharpening stone surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso available: The Guided Sharpening System Upgrade Kit. This Upgrade Kit extends the range of diamond plates by adding an Extra-Coarse 220 Girt for blade repair and coarse tool sharpening, an Extra-Fine 800 Grit for delicate sharpening tasks and edge refinement, plus a Leather Stropping plate with 0.5 micron honing compound and a 25° Stropping Angle Guide.","brand":"Work Sharp","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":68048573038835,"sku":"tfh1793364995484","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/2266\/7251\/files\/work-sharp---guided-sharpening-system---wsgss_1.jpg?v=1793365001","url":"https:\/\/getcladstore.shop\/products\/work-sharp-guided-sharpening-system-wsgss","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
