The Waring WKS800 is a three-station electric knife sharpener that lets a commercial kitchen keep its knives sharp in-house. Two grinding wheels (coarse and fine) and a stropping wheel take an edge from dull to polished at 18 to 22 degree angles, all on a compact 120V unit that draws just 32 watts.
Grind, Hone and Strop in Three Stations
Dull knives slow prep, crush delicate product and are more dangerous because they slip. The WKS800 gives cooks a fast routine: the coarse wheel restores a worn edge, the fine wheel refines it, and the stropping wheel polishes the blade and removes burrs. Grinding happens at 18 to 22 degrees, the range knife makers recommend for best performance, so edges come out consistent from one knife to the next.
The stropping wheel turns in the reverse direction for more efficient polishing and burr removal, which leaves a smoother, longer-lasting edge. Metal shavings fall into a magnetized drawer under the grinding wheel, keeping filings off the counter and making cleanup simple.
