Lansky Deluxe Sharpening System

My very expensive kitchen knives were once more lethally sharp after using this. It's not a long job to sharpen a knife from very, very blunt to razor edged; maybe ten minutes. Sharpening less blunt knives is much faster of course. The fact that the angle is set correctly pushed me into buying this set. That is apparently a very critical part of knife sharpening and this makes it foolproof. It is tricky to use with smaller knives (fruit knife sbut not impossible at all.

Takes a long time to sharpen kitchen knives and the clamp keeps coming loose bye overall it works well.

Tried this out on two globals which I'd up to now been using the minosharp plus on. While the minosharp did a decent job of putting back on a decent sharpness it doesn't really remake the edge like this does. The kit box, clamp and rods are a bit "rickety". The box snaps the rods on far too hard. The hand screw on the clamp gets in the way of using the rods on the narrowest angle. The rods bend and need to be checked each time you flip the knife. So why 4 stars? The stones are great and for someone like me they have remade an awesome edge on fairly expensive knifes in a short amount of time. I also looked at the cheap versions of the edgepro etc however the stones themselves are the compromise (i.e. not very good, buy the edgepro stones and you're paying edgepro prices...). These are great and you can get fantastic results very quickly. Bit strange getting oil in the kit when you shouldn't use it on these stones though. I've seen guys online being very precise about how these are used but I just used the instructions here, past the course stone only pulled towards the knife. Nothing fussy at all and these knifes can now shave never mind cut paper. I've got a clamp on order, not sure I need it now. That goes for the leather strop too.

Excellent product in every way. No complaints or negative feedback at all... I would buy again.

Not cheap but actually works. I’m really happy I’ve finally got some really sharp knives

I have owned numerous Lansky sharpening sets over the year but clearly the quality has diminished drastically. The unit that holds the knife is not great and seems to stay floppy when the knife is attached. One of the diamond stones started losing its coating. Time to find another product unfortunately!

I've not had sharper knives ever. Was struggling with a constant angle by hand and this is the perfect solution.

I have tried few methods in knife sharpening. Whetstones would be cool but I just don't seem to be able to get good results. I also tried similar cheap version that did work but the quality of the stones and adjustment rod deteriorated after few knives. But these poor quality versions did convince me with the concept of fixed angle. Lansky prooved to be simple to use and I have used it now to sharpen some 15 knives. I liked the fixed angle since it makes it easy to get the job done. These diamond stones cost more than my previous whetstones but they seem to be worth it. I would have given 5 stars but I have used these too short of a time to determine if these diamond stones last long enough to justify the higher price. I would recommend to get the additional mount since it makes the sharpening easier.

Ce set et vraiment super pour afuter les cuteaux. Les deux angles d'alluminium pourais etre un peux plus costeau, mais ca functione bien. Par contre pour faire un bon finish a la lame, il faut completer ce set avec la pierre Saphire (bleu) apres c'est impec!! Mais surtoux PAS utiliser l'huile pour la pierre Saphire!!!!

とにかく簡単に切れるようになります。 刃渡り10cm程度のナイフしか削ってませんが、よく切れるようになりました。 削った面を拡大して見たことがないので、以下はあくまで印象です。 目の細かい砥石で研磨したような滑らかさは無いような気がしますが、 実用上まったく問題のない切れ味になりました。

I read through some of the unfortunate circumstances where others had faulty stones in the plastic moulds - definitely seek a warranty claim via amazon. I can only say positive things, as I've used this system today, and I've spent about 20 minutes sharpening my santoku kitchen knife - which is now exceptionally sharp - tested it on paper and a tomato. Prior to sharpening it wouldn't cut through the paper and was blunt on the tomato. I'm very happy and it was easy to learn how to use by reading the instructions and watching a quick video online.

Excelente calidad: Ya llevo más de dos años con el y compre dos versiones. La Version que más me gusta es la de las barras con aleaciónes de metales (SOLO 4 AFILADORES, PLATA, MORADO, NARANJA Y DORADA) te duraran toda la vida. Con respecto a la versión en donde los afiladores son de piedra, encuentro mayor desgaste y aun es mas lento el proceso. Sin duda en ambos casos si deseas adquirir un LANSKY es importante tener la prensa o la base para sujetarlo, o hacerte de algo que te ayude, es costosa pero si no tienes en donde sujetar todo sera imposible que lo hagas bien y se convierte en un tema desesperante. Adquirí la piedra de cerámica por separado, la verdad no es nada del otro mundo y el acabado espejo en realidad no es indispensable, la he dejado de usar. El mejor producto es el de solo cuatro piedras con aleacion de metal. ( OJO ESTE SISTEMA ES PARA UN AFILADO ARTESANAL Y DE MUY BUENA CALIDAD PERO LLEVARAS ENTRE 15 y 25 MINUTOS PARA UN AFILADO PERFECTO) Si eres desesperado y deseas afilar con tres pasadas, Lansky no es lo que buscas, pero si tienes cuchillería fina y disfrutas de tus cuchillos y de un afilado perfecto, adquiere. Puntos a mejorar o deficiencias: Las pestañas del sujetador del cuchillo o navaja son muy pequeñas, si presionas mucho las piedras contra la hoja del cuchillo puede ser que se salga la hoja y tengas que estarla acomodando. El tornillo requiere de más fuerza para sujetar cuchillos más grandes y pesados para que no se salga (como un cuchillo de supervivencia). Así que comencé a usar unas pisas para apretarlo mejor y con el tiempo la perilla plástica del tornillo del sujetador se ha ido desgastando. Este sistema es eficiente y perfecto para navajas, cuchillos chicos y medianos. No lo recomiendo para cuchillos de campo de tamaño mayor que la hoja supere los 15 centímetros.

One of the best sharpner tools in the market, fair price ... The reason why I rate it only 3 stars is that I received my order with 2 prices ( medium and fine) weren't well fixed so I had to use a super glue to fix them well, I used them to sharpen my buck 110 and another Damascus blade knife and all of them works perfect
