Lansky Slijpset voor volwassenen, meerkleurig, één maat

It gets the job done.I would recommend you watch YouTube videos on how to do it.

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.

I bought this to replace on I had for many years. Works well, delivers sharp knives and is easy to use.

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.
