This website would not take my video review for some reason, so I’ll leave a link to it that I uploaded to YouTube. There are severe design flaws that make this upgrade kit pretty useless for what it’s intended for, which is much lower angles. I can’t think of another reason to use a magnetic system. It is also completely unusable with the aftermarket stone holders and aftermarket stones. In the video, I point out the design flaws and give suggestions for possible fixes. I like the idea, but it needs work. https://youtu.be/tOYwmxpsxug?si=Je-PjOleAyaaYt0W

Even the central module holds large blades securely. Now I can finally sharpen the knives the original gripper wasn't able to handle, like the small blade on my Victorinox. I had previously been using a brace to keep the old gripper from wobbling, so unsticking the knife from the magnet to flip it was not much more effort than flipping the mechanism had been before. Was able to do 20-degree angle on my largest blade no problem.

Leading Edge Universal Upgrade Kit for Work Sharp Precision Adjust I'm impressed with the upgrade kit. It has made the Precision Adjust a much better and easier-to-use sharping system. I would recommend it to anyone who is using the Work Sharp Precision Adjust.

Completely useless sets knife to far away from the machine can’t set angles. Got this to sharpen longer knifes which makes the angle even worse because the blades are wider. Wasted my money. No stars!!

Yes, with caution This is not a printable review - just my assessment. I like the design and it goes together well. One issue is the magnets and their dramatic pull versus the brittle plastic used to fabricate it. Easy to break, and makes me very hesitant to use the magnetic wide base with a heavy blade. Must be patient and turn and roll the steel off of the magnetic base. I was hoping that I could sub a Pro Edge metal plate, as it has that design feature, with the adjustable points. It does not wobble at all. However, the weight is then so far forward, it is easy to tip over. (Showing another limit of the original design). An adjustable base is another good piece in addition to this one, so you are not holding the base with one hand.

About Leading Edge Platform

Leading Edge Sharpening System is the only 3D-printable sharpener that can sharpen knives, scissors, and other edged tools. It has a magnetic knife holder, a three-point knife guide, optional accessories such as vertical knife support, scissors clamp, long blade attachment, fine-tuning, convex stone holder, and various knife clamps. Leading Edge Sharpening System works extremely well for almost any sharpening scenario, outperforming many high-end sharpening systems currently on the market.

Designed for hobbyists and makers, Leading Edge Sharpening System is based on traditional concepts: 6" sharpening stones, modular approach, and standard diameter rods. It gives Leading Edge platform a very low cost of ownership in conjunction with unlimited upgradability. You are not limited to 3D-printed accessories designed by Leading Edge. You can use various compatible accessories and clamps made by Hapstone, TSPROF, Kazak, and KakBritva.

Leading Edge Core is a major step towards true "cross-platform" sharpening systems designed by Burt Joubert, creator of GearConnect, the bridge between famous sharpening systems and clamps designed for other platforms. Leading Edge Core goes far beyond that – customers can create hybrids where two sharpening systems are fused together. Work Sharp Precision Adjust becomes the first habitat for Leading Edge Core Upgrade, a key element of symbiosis. Leading Edge Core Upgrade accepts attachments designed for Leading Edge Sharpening System such as vertical knife support, scissors clamp, long blade attachment, etc.

Neodymium Magnets Safety Warning

Neodymium magnets possess the risk of forcefully attracting each other, potentially causing skin pinching and leading to severe injuries. Due to their brittleness, neodymium magnets can easily shatter and break.

To ensure safety:

Keep neodymium magnets out of reach of children.
Avoid proximity to individuals with pacemakers.
Prevent contact with magnetic media.
Keep a safe distance from GPS devices and smartphones.
