LanskyDiamond Standard Sharpening System with Coarse, Medium and Fine Hones

Sharpens much quicker than the ones with stones

Sharpening by hand requires work. This set of diamond stones are no exception, but the work pays off in an excellent edge. I used this set to sharpen a pocket knife and some kitchen knives, and the edge I got is better than when they were new. I especially like the angle guide, which maintains a constant angle throughout the honing process for very consistent results. KItchen work is a breeze now. Highly recommended.

This knife sharpener, diamond grit, performed well in a comparison by Project Farm. I got it to sharpen my 6 and 8 in santoku knives. I definitely recommend watching a video on how to use it first. I also purchased the strop with it. Make sure you read the instructions with the strop! The strop is used in the opposite direction from all of the other pieces and should have stropping wax applied.Pros: very sharp edge that lasts. The angle can also be adjusted but I prefer the 17 degree razor edge.Cons: takes a little bit of time to get used to it. The biggest con is that it would not clamp and hold my knife securely. The knife would pivot in the clamp which was annoying and caused some scratching. The solution was to put a layer of electrical tape in the clamp which allowed it to hold securely and not scratch.

If you want to bring your knives (any knives) to scary, scalpel sharpness, this kit is a must have. We know the original Lansky system with conventional stones works well. However, conventional stones wear and develop a hollowed, not flat contour and eventually change the angle of the edge on the blade being sharpened. These diamond stones use different sizes of diamond grit bonded to aluminum “stones”. The “stones” don’t wear, they stay flat and continue to provide a consistent, SHARP edge. Some kits include a super fine ceramic stone, but my experience is that the ceramic stone (or a strop) kills the “micro tooth” that makes a “ butcher’s edge” (for most jobs) as opposed to the slick edge of a “barber’s” edge, which is great for shaving, but not so great for field work. I love this this system and I make sure I always have a complete set available.

I have a number of Lansky sharpeners and live them. The diamond stones are my favorite. I ordered this kit and the stones were excellent. The clamp/ holder quality have through the years have gotten worse. The one included in the most recent order is an absolute piece of garbage…it will not stay clamped to the knife…beveled end of the clamp was not machined with a sharp corners to properly clamp the knife. Looks as though the clamp was sand blaster too to clean the clamp after it was machined I throughout the clamp and am using an older one that works well.

I have used Lansky products for decades. I bought this diamond hone kit for my nephew and taught him how to sharpen knives. I thought that we would be done in 20 minutes. He invited his buddies over and 2 hours and many questions later, all the knives in 5 homes were razor sharp. Men, teach your sons and nephews how to sharpen tools.Best. Product. Ever.

I purchased this product to sharpened Damascus steel knife blades for gifts. I already have a Lansky stone grit sharpening kit I used on mild & stainless steel in the past. I was thinking this diamond kit was step up & expected it to sharpen Damascus steel which is harder. After a short period of use the leather hone & one diamond hone came apart & I had to repair them with CA glue. I have difficulty holding thin blade kitchen knifes in the clamp. I've resorted to tightening the small screw with t-handle screw driver. I'm waiting for the clamp to strip out around the screw. I've experienced the same way with the rod guide screws coming loose. One customer on UTube ground the ridges off the ends of the screw for a better grip on the rods. I still have to use pliers to prevent the screws from coming loose. If I use the 17 degree guide hole the guide rod hits the red knob screw. How often do you have to clean the diamond hones? They seem to "load up" very quick and become ineffective. I hope Lansky will address my issues.damascua

I've used the stone version of the Lansky Sharpening system but find the diamond system to be a lot less likely to clog. However, if you don't believe you'll be using the system all that much, perhaps the added expen$e of the diamond hones might not make it a good value for you; purchase the stone hones instead. I don't use the honing oil packaged with the kit. I clean the diamond surface with water. Lansky makes a great product at a great price. You will find the system VERY easy to use after you've watched the instructional video found on Lansky's website.

this worked great. I sharpened all my kitchen knives quickly.they can do the paper slicing no problem.no oils needed just clean with water after.should last a long time with proper care.

envoi rapide , et bonne qualité des produits lansky

Finally I have found something to sharpen my knives. I have tried various sharpeners but they are mostly rubbish but this puts a really good edge on them. It's a bit pricey but they do the job so I am happy. After sharpening my kitchen knives I tried them by slicing tomatoes and they finally did the job.

Works really well for kitchen knives, hunting knives, fillet knives and I need to reach the word limit... And done.
