LanskyDeluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System

Very good tool--exactly what it's supposed to be. I just need to get better at it

This thing makes sharpening knives much easier. I am no expert and have never had a reason to be. This makes it much easier for me to sharpen.My only wish is that there were a few more choices of angles. There are (as you can see in the product images) 4 angles to sharpen your blade: 17, 20,25 & 30. I really bought this for my SpyderCo (but sold my wife on sharpening her kitchen knives lol but that can be difficult as it is not really meant for a large knife.)The SpyderCo, as far as I can tell after I bought this (should have learned more first), is that it needs to be sharpened at a 40° angle.Despite my lack of knowledge this is an excellent product, it makes it easier to do with little skill, and I am glad I have it.I would recommend looking into the mounting bracket for this. It is not necessary, but if you have a workbench with space to spare you could even screw the bracket down for more stability.For example:https://www.amazon.com/Lansky-Sharpeners-LANLM007-Pedestal-Sharpener/dp/B002HZRBYE/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_2/136-9981358-1708914?pd_rd_w=hjji9&content-id=amzn1.sym.21b577c4-6435-4581-8b53-49da41e27328&pf_rd_p=21b577c4-6435-4581-8b53-49da41e27328&pf_rd_r=ET55N8WEA4X8V387FEMF&pd_rd_wg=UqjJ9&pd_rd_r=ce1414eb-4a5b-41cc-8f2c-51dc3be98500&pd_rd_i=B002HZRBYE&psc=1

It gave good clear instructions and it did as explained. Easy for any level sharpener.

This is my second Lansky sharpening kit. The first lasted about 5 years. I sharpen kitchen knives frequently and the edge (sharpness) is great. The first time you use this on old dull knives it takes a bit to remove enough metal to get them into good shape. But after the initial sharpening maintaining the edge is very easy and fast. Just be sure to tell your significant other that you have sharpend the knives or they might be expecting them to be dull...

The Lansky Sharpening Tool DLX 5 Stone System LKCLX is a cut above the rest! Its versatile 5-stone system effortlessly brings blades to razor-sharp precision. With a user-friendly design and durable construction, it's the ultimate sharpening solution for both novice and seasoned knife enthusiasts. A top-notch investment for blade maintenance!

This sharpening system works well enough, but it takes a lot of time to put a sharp edge on a knife. You can watch any positive review on YouTube to see enough to know that you are probably not going to want to use it.Using the optional clamp to hold everything in position, you select the coarsest stone you think necessary and after mounting your knife properly, you sharpen 1 1/2 inches of one side of the knife, move along the edge and sharpen the next 1 1/2 inches of the knife and do this along the length of the knife.Then you flip the knife over and do the same along the other side of the knife. This takes at least 15 minutes or so.You then select the next less coarse stone and repeat the process with at least 3 more stones, followed by the optional leather strop.So, one knife takes about an hour, but you don't see this in the videos. They skip over this or speed up the video.Hopefully, you can maintain your knives' edge with a steel, so that this doesn't have to be done more than once per month, but most of us don't take the time to hone our knives every time we use them.So, yes this system works, but it isn't going to be a user-friendly experience.The entire collection of stones, strop and clamp is a bit less than $100.The basic Worksharp MK2 would probably be best for most people. It isn't ideal, but it produces a very sharp edge in a fraction of the time this system requires.

Very satisfied

There is a small learning curve to it. But it creates great results. It works better to set the thumb screw and tighten down the other screw with a Philipps Screwdriver in order to keep the knife from slipping out.

Mit diesem Schleifset wird das Messerschleifen zum Kinderspiel. Ich benutze es um meine Outdoormesser unsere Küchenmesser und sogar die Profi- Küchen-Arbeitsmesser meiner Frau zu schärfen.Super Leicht zur Rasurschärfe.KLARE KAUFEMPFEHLUNG! ! !

I took a very dull knife, one that was almost like a butter knife, and sharpened it back to a respectable level in about 15 minutes the first time I used this. Clearly one needs to practice a little bit with this sharpener in order to bring up the best edge. But anyone can use this right out of the box. Only complaint is the case. Mine would not latch shut no matter how hard I tried. I think the plastic injection mold they are using is getting worn out?! Also they sell a stand for this sharpener. I would liked to have had the option of buying a set that included that stand, as it would make sharpening knives much easier.

Package was already opened and just tapped together, one of the stones had already been used, and there was a bolt broken off in the clamp.. I don’t really want to go through the hassle of returning it so I’ll try to make it work but not impressed that I paid full price for a damaged and used item.Edit: ended up drilling out the bolt and rethreading it, so I can use it now. It’s able to get knives quite sharp and it’s a good design.

Read all the great reviews. Watched all the great review videos and how tos.This is by far the worst sharpening system I've tried.The stones keep falling out of the holders. The cut speed of the stones is terribly slow, and they seem to wear shockingly fast.The blade clamp doesn't grip firmly and lets the shift around. If you start sharpening one side, the angle changes as the blade shifts in the holder. When you flip it over, sharpen, and then flip back to the first side, the shifting isn't consistent and now you're sharpening at an all new angle.Don't waste your time with this.
