You can use various compatible accessories and clamps made by Hapstone, TSPROF, Kazak, and KakBritva.
Leading Edge Core is a major step towards true "cross-platform" sharpening systems designed by Burt Joubert, creator of GearConnect, the bridge between famous sharpening systems and clamps designed for other platforms. Leading Edge Core goes far beyond that – customers can create hybrids where two sharpening systems are fused together. Work Sharp Precision Adjust becomes the first habitat for Leading Edge Core Upgrade, a key element of symbiosis. Leading Edge Core Upgrade accepts attachments designed for Leading Edge Sharpening System such as vertical knife support, scissors clamp, long blade attachment, etc.
