To cover the entire sharpening spectrum, the Precision Adjust offers five diamond abrasive rods spanning coarse to extra-fine grits. The basic model includes a coarse 320-grit rod for repairing badly damaged edges, a 600-grit for everyday sharpening, and a ceramic hone for the final edge refinement. The Upgrade Kit takes it even further with an extra-coarse 220-grit diamond rod that handles extreme dullness or reprofiling, an additional coarse 400-grit rod for roughing in new bevels, fine 600 and 800-grit rods put a keen, flat micro-bevel on the edge, and a ceramic "blank" lets you refine the edge to a razor's peak.

The Upgrade Kit also includes a large treated leather strop, making it easy to bring edges to a bright, polished final sharpness. With this full array of abrasives, you can completely restore even the most damaged knives in one efficient sequence.

Using these tools is refreshingly straightforward. The innovative articulated rod design keeps the sharpening angle perfect and consistent as you work the blade from heel to tip in overlapping strokes. You simply progress through each abrasive rod in sequence - coarse to fine grits, then ceramic honing, and finally stropping on the leather.

The built-in guide prevents you from sliding off the edges to protect the blade's integrity. The rigid rods also attach magnetically to the sturdy sharpening module to keep everything secure as you work. When done, it all stores neatly in the included heavy-duty carrying case.

To repair a badly worn blade, you first use the extra-coarse 220 grit rod to completely re-establish a fresh bevel. The additional coarse abrasives refine that initial sharpening further before progressing up through the finer grits. The ceramic hone leaves a knife-sharp micro-bevel, while the strop takes the edge to a bright, polished perfection.

For routine maintenance on blades that are simply getting dull from use, you can skip the coarsest abrasives and work through the fine grits, ending with the ceramic hone and leather strop. This touch-up sequence takes just a few passes to completely revive the edge.

While many sharpeners are limited to specific blade shapes and styles, the Precision Adjust can handle any type of knife thanks to its pivoting sharpening rod and adjustable angle clamp.  

Standard blades like clip-point pocketknives clamp in securely, letting you evenly sharpen the full length, from heel to tip, while maintaining the ideal sharpening angle. For knives with curves like hawkbill blades, you simply work the articulated sharpening rod in smaller overlapping sections.

Compared to sharpening freehand with stones, the Precision Adjust is a game-changer in terms of effort and consistency. Even a badly dull, chipped blade can be restored to razor-sharp and polished in just 5-10 minutes with this system.

The precision angle guides and simple operation let even novices create professional, consistent bevels that meet high standards. No more struggling to master difficult freehand sharpening techniques for average users. With the rods constantly maintaining the perfect angle as you work, it's virtually impossible to get uneven grinds or skewed edges. 

For avid knife collectors, hunters, campers, and anyone who demands razor-sharp blades, the WorkSharp Precision Adjust offers the ultimate sharpening solution. The coarse-to-fine Upgrade Kit provides the complete spectrum of sharpening capabilities in one integrated system. This affordability and versatility, combined with its compact portability and simple operation, make it an ideal sharpening choice for any knife enthusiast. 

Whether you just have a few EDC pocket blades or a vast collection of outdoor knives, the WorkSharp Precision Adjust will keep them all consistently sharp and shaving-ready. With this innovative sharpener in your kit, you'll never struggle with dull blades again. Finally, putting a keen, professional-grade edge on all your knives is a simple task that anyone can master.
