Product Description
Whether you need to sharpen a kitchen cleaver, a hatchet, or a simple folding knife, the Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone Sharpening System has you covered. This all-in-one kit has five separate hones, each with a different grit, which allow you to do anything from re-profiling a bevel to polishing your knife to a razor-sharp edge Read More
This system has my knives sharper than they have ever been before. It can be a bit finicky to get setup, but it does a great job once you get it. All of my knives, both high quality and cheap, now have a super fine and sharp edge.
This unit is useful to maintain an accurate angle, however it is fiddly to set up and I'm not confident of its ability to hold on to the knife properly....
Quite good! Nice selection of angles, it let me re-sharpen my 10" Chef's knife from 25 to 20 degrees. It also did a wonderful job on my carbon-steel 5" paring knife. Would recommend to anyone!
This was supposed to be a gift. But the case that is supposed to hold everything is warped, and it Will. Not. Close. The blister packaging came open during shipping and spilled everything all over the place in the box. Really annoyed that I purchased this through Massdrop. The price is the same on Amazon, where I could've gotten free shipping and returned it easily.
This kit is almost good, and can be useful for a slightly advanced user. The biggest problem with it is the part that clamps down in the blade comes loose as your sharpening the knife (just enough for it to not stay rigidly clamped), and it can mar the body of the blade if it has a finish on it.
It's not particularly easy to use, although that's the purpose of it. Because of that, and because the handle wiggles, I cannot give more than three stars.
The kit does work, however. I would rate it as sufficient for restoring very full blades or maybe even for changing the blade angle, although the roughest stone does not cut very aggressively. A rough diamond file would be better. For fine sharpening, you can do it, but with some practice, and you should get a leather stop as well.
Product arrived with warped pins and a strange latch on the box that refused to close. The instructions are incomprehensible, and even if you manage to get the clamp/rod/stone nonsense set up correctly, your hands will cramp before you have a chance to even begin to hone a knife. Then once you try you realize how utterly pointless the tool is. The clamping screws are difficult to adjust, the hone rods slide up and down in their catches, so it's impossible to maintain a single sharpening angle. To successfully work this product you'd need at least three hands -- I have two -- and even then you'd be working with something that is badly designed and, at best, clumsy to use.
This product is beneath Massdrop. Listen well, Drop: push too much trash like this and you will lose customers, and you will have only yourself to blame. Same thing happened to the Sharper Image in the eighties.
Pretty good for an intro set. The 80 grit stone is pretty useless on anything other than a super budget steel and the lack of a stand makes it kind of annoying to use. It def makes knives sharp
