The easiest way to use stones to sharpen your knives.
I've owned the Lansky system for almost 20 years and they perform perfectly and enable me to get fantastically sharp knives every time with a modicum of elbow grease but without any actual skill. Lansky's system is a brilliant arrangement of a knife clamp with sets of holes that ensure consistent grinding angle for the stones that have long steel guides. This solves the problem of how to hold the stone to the knife at a consistent angle. Using stones to sharpen your knives gives you total control and allows you to achieve the finest edge (much finer than using a chef's choice, motorized bench grinder (which can overheat the blade ruining the temper), or any of those ceramic wheel/rod dohickeys). The available angle choices are 17 degrees (for Asian knives), 20 and 25 (for Western knives) and 30 degrees (for hatchets). Lansky offers various different stones (from natural Arkansas stones, to diamond abrasive). This particular set includes 3 synthetic stones - coarse, medium, and...
Great product, but takes some getting used to.
I bought this item so that I could put an edge on some old pocket and kitchen knives I have. It took a little practice, but I am getting there. The kit itself works well, but if I were you I'd throw in for a table clamp.
Very Good
Better than Smith's similar sharpener, because the hole is much more narrow, and as a result the angle between the surface of the blade and the surface of the stone does not alternate as much.
