Explore this buying guide ↗Why consider this model?
- The older WSGSS suits someone looking specifically for a manual benchtop guided plate holder with separate kitchen and pocket/hunting guide positions, plus a removable ceramic hone for field maintenance. The manual gives a separate serration method rather than assigning it a plain-edge angle.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- Work Sharp marks this package retired. It is a benchtop plate-and-holder arrangement, not the Guided Field Sharpener, Angle Set, or clamp-based Precision Adjust. The 25° marking belongs to the portable ceramic hone, while diamond plate plain-edge use is documented at 17° for kitchen and 20° for pocket/hunting. Although the product page has a scissors icon, the exact manual does not provide a scissor procedure, so this assessment does not count scissors as a verified match. A leather strop is a separate accessory/upgrade, not in the basic box list.
