Work Sharp offers more than three models, possibly only three belt sizes. Their basic model uses ½” belts. The Ken Onion model uses ¾” belts although one ½” belt is supplied. That belt compared to the ¾” belt looks puny, making me glade that I chose the KO edition. The blade grinder attachment for the KO uses a 1” that I think I would like even better, although the ¾” works fine. The ½” belts for the basic model can be used on the KO edition. Belts can also be found on Amazon.

Hello everyone. Looking for some advice on the Work Sharp Electric Sharpeners please. I have been eyeing these lately, and noticed Cabela's has them on sale until the end of the month. After much reading (on these forums) and youtube reviews... I am leaning towards the Ken Onion edition. This will be my first time attempting to sharpen swords (but countless knives). My thought process being after sharpening 3-5 new blunts, the system would have paid for itself ( right...? lol).
My questions: 1) Has anything changed that i'm unaware of, or is there a newer/better beginner system out there? 2) Is the Ken Onion edition really worth the higher price tag if my primary reason is sharpening swords? I know they will all do the job :
Ken Onion Edition - $150 CAN ($115 US). Cabela's Exclusive - $100 CAN ($75 US). Work Sharp Original - $90 CAN ($69 US).
Thanks in advance!
