About this deal

The knife clamp included in the system holds the knife steady, and holds the angle guide static and firm, so that the user can achieve the desired angle with every stroke of the sharpener. The Coarse to Ultra-Fine hones provide an excellent range of grits for complete edge care and maintenance. The Serrated sharpening hone also allows sharpening of serrated knives with this system. The Lansky system is perfect for outdoor sporting, kitchen or workshop knives, and offers the widest range of accessories available. In production for over 40 years, the Lansky Sharpening System has been the most preferred, and best sharpening system for DIY and cutlery enthusiasts worldwide.

If you love the versatility of a serrated or semi-serrated knife but hate sharpening it, the Lansky Professional or Universal Sharpening Systems are a great choice. We only handled the Deluxe Sharpening System in this Lansky knife sharpener review, so your results may vary. Lansky Knife Sharpener Review Final Thoughts The Lansky Knife Sharpener comes with guide rods that fit into holes on the knife clamp. Carefully insert these rods into the corresponding holes and make sure they are tightly secured. The frequency of sharpening depends on how often you use your knives and the cutting tasks involved. For most kitchen knives, sharpening every few weeks is sufficient. Outdoor and hunting knives may require more frequent sharpening, especially after heavy usage. What is the difference between honing and sharpening with the Lansky Knife Sharpener?

Construction

First and foremost, if you don’t set this system up right you will not get satisfactory results. Here’s why: it’s built around accurately putting a consistent angle on the edge of the knife, so anything you do that messes with that accuracy is going to have a bad end result. To start, you have to level the rods themselves and then level the rods with the stones before you tighten them down. Set the rods long side down on a table and make sure they aren’t bent or arced – a few of mine were. Straighten them out so they’re totally flat on the table – I used a rubber mallet with a few light taps. Thoroughly dry the stones and guide rods before storing them. A dry and clean environment prevents any corrosion or deterioration of the sharpening equipment. Step 9: Testing the Knife’s Sharpness Start by cleaning the sharpening stones and guide rods with warm, soapy water to remove any accumulated metal particles. Lansky also sells a variety of other products to take care of your knives, such as the popular pull-through sharpener.)

With its controlled-angle sharpening system and user-friendly design. The Lansky Knife Sharpener proves to be a reliable tool for both beginners and experienced knife enthusiasts alike. Now, you need to hold the clamp. Lansky says to hold the bottom of the clamp in one hand, edge of the blade facing away from you, and hold the handle with your other hand. I have an adjustable vise at work which I find vastly preferable, I drop one side into the vise with the blade facing me and tighten it down. Now you’re ready to start. Mastering the art of using a Lansky Knife Sharpener is a valuable skill that empowers knife owners to maintain the sharpness and performance of their blades with ease. We sharpened several different types of knives in our testing, everything from a Benchmade Griptilian to a Japanese Shun chef’s knife, and were seriously impressed with the results. Each blade went from usable but dulling to slicing effortlessly through paper in less than a minute. Ease of UseTo process a safe and effective sharpening process. It is essential to securely fasten the knife in the clamp provided by the Lansky Knife Sharpener. The general concept is this: you have a set of stones (3 to 5 of them) of varying grits which you attach to rods. The rods pass through a number of marked slots on a two-sided clamp, which you clamp your knife into in a specific manner. The slot you pass the rod through sets the angle of the stone against the sharpened edge of the blade, creating an accurate edge as you progress up from low to high grit stones.

Carefully handle the knife and perform a simple test by gently running the blade across a piece of paper or a ripe tomato. Once the guide rods are firmly in place, it’s time to attach the sharpening stone. The Lansky Knife Sharpener usually includes several sharpening stones with different levels of roughness, from rough to fine. Starting from the knife’s base, near the handle, gently push the stone away from you along the blade’s edge. Use light pressure for each stroke to avoid unbalanced sharpening. The system itself is so intuitive and easy to use we barely needed instructions to get started. It was straightforward to attach our knife to the clamp, and once in place, we had no problem guiding the hone over our blade to find the proper angle. The rough grit stone is used for initial sharpening, while the fine grit stone is used for refining the edge and achieving a super sharp finish. Step 5: Starting Sharpening with the Coarse Grit StoneA properly sharpened knife should effortlessly cut through the material with little resistance, resulting in clean and smooth slices.
