Sports reviews of Lansky Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System with Extra Coarse, Coarse, Medium and Fine Hones
Customer Review: Lansky is the easiest system for consistent angle; diamond lasts the longest.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've owned the Lansky system for almost 20 years and it perform perfectly and enable me to get fantastically sharp knives every time with a modicum of elbow grease but without any actual skill. Lansky's system is a brilliant arrangement of a knife clamp with sets of holes that ensure consistent grinding angle for the stones that have long steel guides. This solves the problem of how to hold the stone to the knife at a consistent angle. Using stones to sharpen your knives gives you total control and allows you to achieve the finest edge (much finer than using a chef's choice, motorized bench grinder (which can overheat the blade ruining the temper), or any of those ceramic wheel/rod dohickeys). The available angle choices are 17 degrees (for Asian knives), 20 and 25 (for Western knives) and 30 degrees (for hatchets). Lansky offers various different stones (from natural Arkansas stones, to diamond abrasive). This particular set includes 4 diamond sharpening stones - extra coarse, coarse, medium, and fine. The stones are excellent quality. The fine is fine enough to get your blades shaving sharp - but I personally added an extra fine stone for final stropping-like polish. The coarse ones cuts quickly, and really last. Non-diamond fine stones last, the the coarse ones wear out quickly (get ruts). The diamond ones last and last without ever needing to be trued up. That's the great thing about diamond stones. Lansky give you a bottle of sharpening oil to help carry away the metal shavings to keep the stones cutting. I don't like using oil so I keep a wet paper towel handy when sharpening and wipe the metal off the stones and blade periodically while sharpening that that works fine for me.
To use the Lansky the process is simple - clamp the blade into the clamp - then scrub the blade against the stone with a consistent angle until you feel a burr (a thin raised seam) along the edge. The burr is your cue to flip the blade over and do the other side. When you get burr on the other side, move onto the next stone. By the time you get to the final fine grade polishing stone and get burr on the last side, then flip and give slight touch with the stone on the other side (to remove the burr but not raise another one) and you'll find your knife is literally shaving sharp (will cut the hairs off your arm).
Is Lansky the perfect sharpening system? For medium and small knives it probably is. Knives over 6"-7" long, however, require you to sharpen 1/2 the knife and then move the clamp and sharpen the other half because the edge angle changes too much if you attempt to sharpen too far from the guide hole. The stones themselves are pretty small (about as wide as your middle finger and as long as your hand) so it can take a long time to do a big knife. I can do a 5" utility knife in about 5-10 minutes, but an 8" Chef's knife can take more than double that - which starts to become a bit of a big project. If you do a lot of big knives you'll probably want to spring for an Edge Pro Apex (same mechanical concept, bigger size for much much more money). If you only periodically sharpen then this can be lived with. You shouldn't sharpen your knives more than once or twice a year (or they wear out too quickly) since sharpening removes metal. You should use a honing steel frequently in between sharpenings to keep your knives sharp.
Lansky's system is the best way for normal regular people (non fanatics) to sharpen their knives. It's pretty easy, fun, satisfying, and extremely effective.

Description of Lansky Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System with Extra Coarse, Coarse, Medium and Fine Hones
Safe, easy and convenient to use. The Lansky controlled angle sharpening system is designed to give your blade a professional, razor edge every timeSharpen all of your knives with ease with the Lansky Deluxe Diamond four-stone sharpening system. The system comes with four sharpening hones of different coarseness: an extra-coarse diamond (70 grit), a coarse diamond (120 grit), a medium diamond (280 grit), and a fine diamond (600 grit). As a result, you'll have the tools to sharpen virtually any type of kitchen, hobby, or garden knife. Diamond kits are very aggressive, and are the sharpener of choice for quickly setting an edge or resetting the edge to a different angle. That's because diamonds remove steel much faster than their alumina oxide counterparts.
The system is easy to use, with a controlled-angle sharpening system built into the precision-engineered knife clamp. Simply secure the knife and choose your preferred angle and you'll receive a professional razor-sharp edge every time. Each of the four angle options is suitable for a different knife type. The severe 17-degree angle is recommended for razor blades, X-Acto blades, scalpels, and similar tools, as it provides an extremely sharp but delicate edge. The 20-degree angle is commonly used for higher-quality blades, making it ideal for kitchen cutlery and filet knives. The 25-degree angle is recommended for knives that need a durable, sharp edge, such as hunting and outdoor knives. And the 30-degree angle is recommended for heavy-duty knives that commonly cut cardboard, wire, or carpets.
Each honing stone is color-coded, with finger-grooved safety holders to keep your hand secure. The kit also comes with a guide rod for each honing stone, specially formulated honing oil, extra-long knife clamp screws, easy-to-follow multilingual instructions, and a custom molded storage/carrying case to hold all system components. Knife enthusiasts should consider investing in an Extra Fine or Super Sapphire ceramic hone to polish your blade to a mirror finish and a serrated hone for serrated knives.
Sharpen all of your knives with ease with the Lansky Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System. Lansky has provided the latest and greatest in cutting edge knife sharpening technology since 1979. The Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System is essential to have around the house for sharpening all kinds of blades. The set comes with five diamond hones of different coarseness and is suitable for any type of kitchen, hobby, hunting, or garden knives. The system comes complete with a knife clamp, honing oil, guide rods, knife clamp screws, a carrying case, and helpful instructions.
