I bought one of these kind of Lansky systems awhile ago and didn't like it. First, if you crank down on the clamp hard enough to hold it steady it can scratch your knife blade. This was before I learned to use painter's tape which can fix that issue. The bigger problem is that depending on where you clamp the blade, the sharpening angle will be different for different parts of the blade. I also had trouble clamping the wire guide to the stone tight enough where it wouldn't wobble around.
Overall I couldn't get a good edge with this system. I'll admit I can't sharpen a knife freehand so take that with a grain of salt, but that's the kind of user this system is made for.
If you've tried every sharpening system and still can't get a good edge, I'd recommend the Work Sharp WSGSS. It's pricey and you'll probably need the upgrade kit but it'll get you used to using a consistent angle. If you have a lot of blades with a recurve its probably better to get the Lansky MEDGE1 or the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker.
