Overall very happy with the Lansky.... ByRobPHXon October 26, 2017

After watching multiple YouTube videos I sat down with about 5 knives that were in desperate need of a sharpening. The knives ranged from a high end Benchmade, a S30V Spyderco, a “free knife with purchase of membership” knife and a roughly 10” expensive professional chefs knife(the brand with Japanese letters and a visably hammer dented design/finish). After an hour, maybe closer to 2 I had finished all the knives. They all were razor sharp and passed every test one does to check sharpness(shaving hair, gliding through flimsy phonebook paper etc).

The Lansky isn’t perfect. It could be improved in a few areas but overall I think it is well worth the price and I have zero desire to buy anything more $$ or “better”. One issue was the inability to lock the knife in the clamp perfectly. On occaision the knife would pivot and need remounted. I found it mainly wanted to move when using a rough grit and a heavy stroke like you would use when reprofiling an edge. It isn’t really a big deal and only takes a few seconds to put the knife back in position. I also found the clamp to have some sharp edges and after a knife or two my hand was getting sore….this is when using it on the table clamp mount. Even on the mount you still need a tightly hold the clamp to keep it from moving and to keep the guide rods pressed to the top of the holes(a good method for being as precise and consistent with each stroke, another is the oil is for CLEANING the stones, not for lubricating them during use). I ended up with glove on my left hand for a little padding.

In addition to this set I also purchased the table clamp mount, the super sapphire stone and the leather strop as well. All good products and somewhat necessary in my opinion if you REALLY want your knife as sharp as possible. Both the sapphire stone and leather strop seem to be needed to bring the edge to a mirror like surface free of scratches.

As I said before I am pleased with the Lansky kit. My knives went from very dull after years of use to razor sharp. The chefs knife was a massive improvment and the change in performance was amazing. Prior to sharpening it would tend to crush vegetables and needed a real saw like cutting style to get through. After sharpening it cut thru effortlessly…even veggies like tomatoes and jalapeños which have a bit of a thicker skin. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

How to Sharpen a Knife: How to use the Lansky Sharpening System + Review LeesRandomVids youtube

In this video I’m showing how to use the Lansky Sharpening System plus a quick overall review.

I show the differences in the Standard, the Deluxe, the Diamond and the Diamond Deluxe versions of this Lansky Sharpening System and show you how to set up and use the kit to sharpen a knife from completely blunt to razor sharp without even stropping. The Lansky sharpener doesn’t come with a strop whichever kit you decide to buy, be it the standard or deluxe, the normal or the diamond but you can sharpen your knives to razor sharp without so I show without. Lansky also sell a strop for this sharpening kit but I showed without.. plus I don’t have one.

For this video I sharpen a kitchen knife that was completely blunt using the standard 5 stone deluxe kit, for my next Lansky tutorial I will sharpen a knife using my Lansky diamond sharpening kit.

BEST Stropping Compound(For me) - Handamerican 0.5 micron diamond spray bigbubba5037 youtube

This is Handamerican 0.5 Micron Diamond Spray. Really excellent stuff. It is very aggressive in the sense that it doesn’t take many passes to get results and it puts on a superb mirror polish. The final result is an edge that has tons of bite and will still push cut and draw slice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Sharpening Stone Blank $5 at edgeproinc.com/

Use our 120 grit silicon carbide water stones for coarse sharpening and removing large amounts of metal quickly. Un-mounted stones must be mounted to a “stone blank” (sold separately) to be utilized with the Edge Pro sharpening systems. Customers who go through many stones can remove their worn out stones from the existing stone blank and mount their un-mounted stones themselves saving 50% off the mounted stone price. We suggest mounting the stones using 3M’s Super 77 adhesive spray.
