The Field and Sport Pro (WE230) is a portable version of the WE130 sharpener, offering you professional results in a compact, stowable package. Features include the ability to clamp the widest variety of knife grinds with the the widest range of angles and the ability to adjust the angles independently. These features create a sharpening system with a highly controlled level of precision for the serious knife enthusiast who wants to travel with their sharpener or has a small home/work space that requires easy storage when not in use.
The WE230 Precision Sharpener features our patented Generation 3 Cam-Lock Vise. This vise is ideal for accommodating a wide variety of knife grinds, including fully flat and hollow ground blades. The Split Jaw Design of the vise allows the jaws to flex so they can firmly grasp distally tapered blades, like many everyday-carry pocket knives and kitchen knives.
The Field and Sport Pro offers an expansive range of sharpening angles, allowing you to sharpen a wide assortment of blades, from 13 to 35 degrees per side. Blades with wider angles, such as daggers, cleavers, bushcraft knives and blades with chisel grinds, are all possible on this sharpener, as well as blades with low angles, like many Japanese knives and many knives made from modern super steels. It also provides independent angle adjustment, allowing you to sharpen asymmetrical grinds.
For avid sharpeners, collectors and knife enthusiasts, the desire to retain the original design or a custom bevel on your knife is paramount to your passion for knives. This sharpener offers coarse angle adjustments in 1 degree increments and micro adjustments of .05 degrees, giving you the flexibility to match the existing bevels of your knives without the need to modify the knife’s original grind or unnecessarily remove access material.
The included 10” Guide Rods will allow you to handle knives up to 15 inches in length and the vise has a maximum clamping capacity of 3/16” with an optional attachment (sold separately) for clamping knives with thicknesses up to ¼”. The Field and Sport Pro Sharpener comes with a lightweight, hard carrying case and includes a set each of the 100/200, 400/600 and 800/1000 Grit Diamond Stones. Instead of utilizing our standard mounting bases, the WE230 Sharpener can be mounted to a variety of surfaces via a C-Clamp design which allows this sharpener to be used at home or in the field with equal ease of use.
