Worksharp M3 Knife Sharpener Review Diamond and Ceramic Honing Rod + Microforge

In this video, I'm reviewing the Worksharp M3 Honing Rod. The Work sharp M3 Knife sharpener comes with a diamond and a 2 sided ceramic rod. Work Sharp included a feature called the MicroForge. The MicroForge is safe for knives with a Rockwell of 63 or lower. The lower the Rockwell, the better the effect of the MicroForge; it increases the edge retention and prevents rolling damage on softer steel. If you regularly maintain your knife, then the Microforge can be skipped or used on knives with a 65 or lower Rockwell. If you don't maintain your knife, I often recommend knives with a Rockwell of 58 or lower. Anything higher than 58 will not benefit from the edge retention as much as softer steel. 🛒S H O P: M3 KNIFE SHARPENER: NA: https://amzn.to/3k2GuQY EU: https://amzn.to/2FeWeRH WORK SHARP: NA: https://amzn.to/3ihYPJ6 N O T E S: The MicroForge is a good feature but hard to explain. It is best to test it on a cheap lower Rockwell knife of 56 or lower and see the effect for yourself. The amount of force applied will also affect cutting performance and edge retention. Due to the Micro-serrations is is not good to do a paper cutting test that does not represent the actual usage of the MicroForge. The MicroForge is great for root vegetables and increase edge retention and prevents rolling on softer steel.
