I take it that is the frustration free packaging?

Mine hasn't shipped yet, still shows a Friday delivery date.

It looks like the $97'ish ones on eBay are not actual Ken Onion Worksharp items, but rather, unbranded knockoffs

They should not be allowed to call them Work Sharp or Ken Onion Edition. I don't know how they get away with it. Blatant copies.

Just got done doing some YT viewing and ran across the Wicked Edge vids. I'm sure its a great system...looks great and costs $450 on up to over $1K. Lots swear by it, but also, lots prefer the WS KO. All that said, there's a guy that made his own system that he can get a crazy sharp edge from. It looks like a larger WS KO with Grinder Attachment. Take a look... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H5Xw44SRxU

Mine came this afternoon. I love it!!!!
Since I changed blade angles I reshaped my kitchen knives all over. My wife loves sharp kitchen knives. I also did two of my Buck folders, one of which is over 40 years old and is the hardest steel I've ever seen. Less than 15 minutes and it's shaving. I only got it to shaving level a couple of times with the original Worksharp. .
Has anyone got the blade grinding attachment? Is it worth it?

I have looked into it, and it is probably worth it, if you have a need for it. I think it would be more for the professional though. It doesn't have guides. Just a place to rest your knife, then you pick it up, and you have to hold the angle as you are sharpening. I think unless you are really good, at holding precise angles, it could do some damage to a knife. Definitely watch some youtube videos on it, before you purchase.

I think the intent is for bigger things like lawnmower blades...of which I've got a few...

Maybe, but this the description, from their website.

The Blade Grinding Attachment is designed for knife shaping, sharpening and honing tasks.

The Work Sharp Blade Grinding Attachment is constructed using cast metal components and engineered polymers built to endure the rigors of heavy shaping and sharpening tasks. The unit quickly connects to the Ken Onion Edition Knife & Tool Sharpener without tools, and belts are easily changed by hand.

The blade grinder uses 1”x18” engineered abrasive belts in a wide range of grits, and a 4 pulley system that is fully adjustable from 10° to 35° in 1° increments. Belt speed is adjustable from 1200-2800 SFM (square feet per minute) to accommodate a wide range of sharpening and honing tasks.

The center position of the top two pulleys is adjustable to set your preferred belt deflection – a full convex or a near flat convex – allowing you to customize your cutting edge to best meet your needs and preferences. The Work Sharp Blade Grinding Attachment is similar in design to the systems professional blade makers use, providing knife enthusiasts with a high-quality, precise machine to shape, sharpen and hone your blades without the cost of full scale blade maker’s equipment.

Saw this for anyone in need of another multi tool. Reckon most here have quite a few

Got my KO yesterday. Haven't tried it out yet. Maybe this weekend. Watched a couple of videos this morning, but that is all.

From what I've seen, the Blade Grinding Attachment is used for all sorts of knife sharpening and grinding. It's not limited. In fact, some buy the WSKO and Grinding Attachment and only the use the GA. I got it and it seems very substantial. Apparently, the WSKO has some knife limitations, whereas the GA has not.

Got it. Thanks

Merry Christmas

Good price, I just bought it along with a belt kit for less than original price of attachment alone

Late to the party but i clicked the link and thought it was an onion slicer/chopper at first.
