I received the MK.2 yesterday along with the other goodies. Thanks a bunch! Today, I gave the MK.2 the ultimate test - I attempted to sharpen all of the cutlery at the fire station I worked at today! The knives at our fire stations are known for being terribly dull, which makes cooking all the more challenging at times. In about an hour's time, I sharpened 8 large butcher knives using the MK.2. I was extremely impressed as was my crew!!! One crewmember ordered one of his own as soon as I was finished. The MK.2 was super easy to use and already set up as I pulled it from the box. I found that the knives sharpened better on the 25 degree pocket knife setting over the 20 degree kitchen knife setting. In a matter of a few minutes, a butcher knife went from being the equivalent of a butter knife to an ultra sharp non serrated kitchen blade which could slice tomatoes with ease. I then took the MK.2 home and sharpened all of our kitchen knives. In 20 minutes, our kitchen cutlery was razor sharp and my wife was delighted!!! The sharpening bands were easy to change out and the honing band worked perfectly to put the finishing touches on the blades. It worked very well! I can and will certainly be recommending the MK.2 Work Sharp sharpener as a must have for all of your pocket knife and cutlery needs!!! Thank you again for the opportunity to provide feedback. Please let me know if I can answer any questions or help in any other way.
