Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust Upgrade Kit - 4 Replacement

In this review the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust Upgrade Kit is evaluated for cooks, hobbyists, and pro users who already own the Professional Precision Adjust Elite sharpener and want finer polishing capability. The kit delivers four ultra fine resin bonded diamond plates and a premium leather strop that together refine a blade edge to a notably higher polish. Buyers seeking a targeted upgrade to take an already good edge to a scary sharp finish will find the combination of 1200, 2000, 3000 grit plates and a chromium oxide strop the single biggest reason to add this kit to their sharpening setup.

Key Features

• Four plates: Includes ultra fine resin bonded diamond plates in 1200, 2000, and 3000 grit to bridge from sharpening to polishing for finer edge refinement.
• Replacement fit: Plates are sized at 1' x 6' and designed as replacement plates for the Professional Precision Adjust Elite sharpener for effortless swapping.
• Premium strop: The included leather strop with 0.5 micron chromium oxide polishes and removes the last burrs to produce a high polished cutting edge.
• Ease of use: The plate and strop sequence is straightforward to follow and refines knives to a noticeably sharper, more consistent edge.
• Warranty support: Backed by a 3-year warranty and Quality control from the Oregon facility for long term reliability.

Who It's For

The upgrade kit is best for owners of the Professional Precision Adjust Elite sharpener who want to move beyond basic sharpening and achieve a mirror-like edge for kitchen knives, woodworking tools, or outdoor blades. It suits enthusiasts who value controlled, repeatable results and who will use the finer grits and leather strop rather than rely on coarse stones alone.

It is not aimed at buyers without the compatible sharpener, nor is it necessary for casual users who only need occasional edge touch-ups; those users should consider a simpler single-grit setup or a strop-only approach.
