Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening System: 5-Stone Ceramic Knife Sharpener Kit with Honing Oil - LKCLX

The answer is yes, it made my high quality steel knives at least as sharp as utility knives. I watched the knife sharpening review Project Farm did and decided to treat myself to this more affordable sharpener that seemed to get close to the top results on his testing. His complaints seemed to center around user-friendliness, which I would have to concur with. It's a little cumbersome to set up and hold, but in spite of that you can get fantastic results. I would have to say that given the affordability, that still warrants a 5 star review. Now to talk about the results, which are somewhat subjective since I don't have a proper way to test sharpness, but I think they're useful anyway. So I sharpened my recently purchased CIVIVI Elementum because it was losing its edge from the heavy use my pocket knives tend to see. I sharpened to 25 degrees, which is a little less steep angled than it came from the manufacturer. Once done I quickly ran the knife across a strop with some fine stropping compound. I already thought this knife was insanely sharp, but now I think it's even sharper than when it was new. I can cut thick cardboard with it with a single stroke and best of all it seems to stay sharp much much longer than utility blades do, so I've all but stopped using a utility knife. I'll reserve those for when I need to abuse the blade like cutting shingles or something like that. Another example was this long blade in my Henckels kitchen set that I like to use for cutting watermelon. Watermelon is always a challenge due to the tough skin. I gave this knife the same treatment, except I went to 30 degrees due to the abuse my wife tends to put these knives through, and it didn't seem to matter. It turned out equally as sharp as the 25 degree hone. I was surprised as can be when the blade went through the watermelon with a single easy stroke, which I've never experienced before, including when these knives were brand new, or when I sharpened them using other methods. This kit gets blades **super sharp**, so be very careful handling knives sharpened with it. I couldn't be happier. It takes some time to get the desired results, but man does it deliver, and it really beats the freehand honing kit this replaced (been using one for years, good but not fantastic results). You just simply can't replace the fixed-angle honing technique that this kit allows. Don't waste any time, just buy it. The only way I would say not to is if you want to spend the money and get something a little more user-friendly, otherwise it's a no-brainer. Well worth the purchase price.

Ive wanted A better sharpening system for a while the diamond rods and ceramic rods are fine for touch ups but for a re profile its so difficult and time consuming. with the lansky set you can check your grind angle and either resharpen or re grind and both are made easier by this kit. to connect the rods to the stones is a cinch the rods may need to be straightened out a but, there are great instructions that come with it explaining all this. just follow the directions and you can give a perfect edge at whatever angle you want on any knives, I had a really jacked up grind on a knife and had to reprofile, the lansky kit made that process so much easier, I did it in an evening probably 2 hours total while watching a movie, since the angle is controlled by the mount and rod you can get in a groove and not really pay attention to what your doing, so it turns a very tedious attention demanding task into something much easier. I still use my ceramic stick for that final hone but the kit makes symmetrical grinds and constant angles easy to achieve. and quickly. Ive tried a radical repro with a diamond rod and id never do it again. Ive done 3 with this kit and love it. Oh one thing I would take electrical tape and put it on the jaws of the clamp, the soft cast metal will wear and leave metal on your blade or take paint off, its too soft to hurt dlc coatings and whatnot but the epoxy paints on knives like cold Steel or a RAT -1 will be marred without some pad like a paper towel on those jaws, Ive found the electrical tape to work great it doesnt slide around and stays on for a long time so you dont have to worry about how many knives you do that tape will protect them. All in all a great kit, there are other sharpeners that use the same clamp and angle control methods, some are even more precise and have 1* increments not the 17* 20* 25* 30* this one does. also one thing ive found is there is a high and low to each angle slot, so you can use the top of the angle control slot by pressing down on the end of the stone, or you can use the bottom of the angle slot by keeping pressure on the joint of the rod and the stone itself, so if you wanted a fine edge but though 17* was too fine you can always go to 20* and use the top of the angle slot by pressing down on the far end of the stone and get like a 18-19* grind. All in all I like the kit, ive not used the others, some look very similar but use diamond rods or ceramics, its personal preference at that point, but the lansky kit is a good one, simple easy to use a great price, considering the price I dont think you can go wrong

Ich habe mir dieses Schärfset gekauft, da ich mit regulären Schleifsteinen Probleme hatte, den Schleifwinkel konstant zu halten. Ich habe dieses Set schon oft bei Messermachern in duzenden YouTube Videos gesehen und wusste daher genau, was ich zu erwarten hatte und wie man dieses Set benutzt. Ich bin selbst Messermacher und benötige für den ersten Schliff eines neuen Messers besonders grobe Schleifsteine, da diese viel Material in kurzer Zeit von der Schneide nehmen. Leider musste ich feststellen, dass die Angaben des Herstellers bezüglich der Schleifkörnung auf den Steinen etwas untertrieben sind. Der "gröbste" Stein soll eine Körnung von 70 haben. Dies entspricht nicht der Realität. Ich würde diesen speziellen Stein eher mit einer Körung von 150-200 angeben. Der feinste Stein mit einer Körnung von 1000 hat wohl eher eine sehr viel feinere Körnung. Man hört beim Schleifen kaum den Materialabrieb, wie es bei einer 4000 - 8000er Körnung der Fall ist. Die Steine erfüllen trotzdem ihren Zweck und das soll auch kein großartiger Kritikpunkt sein, da dieses Problem bei vielen Herstellern von Schleifsteinen auftritt. Ich habe mir einfach stattdessen ein Stück Schleifpapier unter einen der Steine geklemmt, das eine sehr grobe Körung hat. So konnte ich meine Erwartung letztendlich retten. Der Schleifprozess nach dem groben Vorschliff mit dem Papier ist ziemlich leicht und geht sehr schnell. Ich würde aber empfehlen, die Steine in voller Länge zu nutzen, da sonst schnell eine Vertiefung in der Mitte entsteht. Außerdem habe ich bemerkt, dass man schnell dazu neigt, die Steine stärker aufzudrücken. Dies ist nicht notwendig und verkürzt auf Dauer die Haltbarkeit des Steins. Dem Set wird ein recht unbrauchbares Öl beigelegt, das ich nicht für diese Steine verwenden würde. Es wird in der Anleitung als Öl für Diamant Steine erwähnt und bei der Lagerung von diesen Schleifsteinen wird empfohlen, diese trocken zu benutzten und sie nach einer Reinigung mit Wasser und einer alten Zahnbürste trocken aufzubewahren. Das Öl ist also gar nicht nötig für ein besseres Schleifergebnis oder eine Art Kühlung der Steine. Die Kritik an der Halterung und deren Qualität ist meines Erachtens etwas übertrieben. Ja, die Halterung ist etwas wacklig und ja, die Daumenschraube ist bei dem kleinsten Winkel etwas im Weg aber man kann die Halterung ja auch einfach umdrehen und schon ist die Schraube unten und stört nicht mehr. Die Qualität des Sets ist jetzt nicht gerade Spitzenklasse aber dicke Grate an den Pressstellen der Plastikteile gibt es nicht, sodass man sich beim Verwenden schneiden würde oder dergleichen. Mir gefällt an diesem Set, dass es so einfach gehalten ist und dass man schnell mit dem Schärfprozess beginnen kann und dieser nicht sehr lange dauert. Für mich ist der Preis vollkommen in Ordnung und ich würde es mir auch wieder kaufen.

Ideal para arreglar el filo y mantenerlo

I’ve been using the Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening System for a few months now, and it’s hands down one of the best sharpening kits I’ve ever owned. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned outdoorsman, this system gives you razor sharp edges with minimal effort. The guided sharpening angle system is a game changer, it takes all the guesswork out of sharpening and ensures consistent, repeatable results every time. The set includes a wide range of diamond-coated rods and ceramic hones, covering everything from coarse sharpening to fine polishing. I appreciate the sturdy clamp that securely holds knives of various sizes, and the compact case makes it easy to store and carry. Plus, it works great on all types of blades, from hunting knives to kitchen cutlery. If you want a reliable, high-quality sharpening system that truly sharpens like a pro, Lansky Deluxe is worth every penny.

No soy un profesional de los cuchillos y el afilado. Esta guía de afilado deja un filo muy bueno en casi cualquier pieza, quizá hay mejores y más profesionales pero para un uso doméstico este afilador este perfecto, te incluye una guía para su uso, es un poco incómodo el usarlo pero vale la pena. Lo que no me gustó es que debes comprar la base o soporte por separado o inprovisar uno, pero el resultado obtenido es 👌 genial. en comparación con los sistemas de afilado más profesionales este es el que para mi tiene la mejor relación precio calidad.

I've been using a gatco system for many years now, and I finally wore out most of the stones. The gatco has a much better clamp, with more angles availible for use. I found myself running out of adjustment on high angle knives very often, and going back to the gatco clamp. The stones are smaller but IMHO, higher quality. You can get an edge sharp enough to push cut paper if you take your time and finish with the finest hone. I could never quite get a smooth push cut with my gatco stones that were included with the kit. The finest ceramic hone is excellent, very hard and very smooth. Like any guided system it is limited in what angles you can use. That can be a big deal if you need a bigger angle than the clamp will give you, because heavily reprofiling a blade by hand can easily take hours on end. Different clamp reccomended. Also, long knives will need to have the clamp repositioned down the knife. It's worth investing in 2 clamps if you will be regularly sharpening 6"+ knives. On the other hand, for the money it's tough to do better. You don't need any extra hones to get a decently refined edge, it works well on many different blades, and so far it looks like they will provide many years of use. Unlike the gatco, you can adjust how the rod meets the stone so when they begin to wear you can flat them and adjust the rod. You can also buy new hones (like diamond for reprofiling) with no fear of changing the angle, just adjust the rod. Touch ups won't be as fast as a crock stick system like a sharpmaker, but heavier work is much faster. You can also cut a small relief bevel for ease of sharpening in the futire. This is the type of system I learned on and with the saphhire hone I can catch and split hairs. Even beginners can get excellent working edges with very little practice. Recommended.
