Lansky Knife Sharpener

Very Nice, sharpen my knives with just 3 or 4 stork. Its kind of fool proof:) you don't have to be a professional to sharp your knife when you have this product

Especially if you have serrated blades. Very nice and a handy tool.

Knives made of ordinary iron can be sharpened easily with this tool,but knives made of steel should be sharpened very carefully and it is a bit difficult to do so.Yet the tool is handy ,small but usefull.It can be carried any where you go.Useful gadget.For an Indian buyer it is costly.

Second purchase, older one was about 2 years ago from another source, very very good for carbon steel, for D2 it takes a while need to use the diamond rod and ceramic , 440s again takes a while, but it certainly puts an edge on every one of them, works really great on carbon steel, my 1075 is razor sharp .

nice nd small.

The quality of the pocket sharpner is good but the effectiveness of sharpness varies with steel it sharpens 420j2, 420hc with much effort and same goes for other 440 series steel, the carbide and ceramic is effective for high carbon steel and for the price is good and better than victorinox pocket sharpner

Color

Because it is useful for steel knives with high quality and not ment for ordinary kitchen knives.It is best in it's class. One must have knowledge of utilization.

Very-very good and helpful for knifes

The Blademedic will never let you down, but its tungsten carbide sharpeners are extremely rough on steel and over time can take quite a lot off your precious knife. This is why I use either the white ceramic block (1000 grit), or its 'V' ceramic blades (also 1000 grit), or if sharpening serrated edges, the diamond taper (600 grit, not '1000' which I mistakenly said recently. Size: Smaller than many pocket knives at 3.9 x 1.25 x 0.45 inches (closed) and with a weight of 3.3 ounces, it is an entire sharpening kit that fits conveniently in your pocket. The tapered diamond sharpener clicks firmly back into its 10cm body using a magnetic block, about 1cm square. When extended the diamond taper also is secured by a similar magnetic block, roughly same measurements, 1cm square. These magnets are really useful to keep the taper from wagging like a dog's tail. Some notes: The ceramic pull-through sharpener is used as a finishing step to the carbide sharpener to finely hone the blade. It can also be used on its own to “touch up” relatively sharp blades. Again, only three to four strokes are necessary. The pull-through sharpeners are simple to use. You simply place the blade in the sharpener and pull it through with a little downward pressure applied. Beware the tungsten carbide blades because they are hard on your knife and can take quite a bit of steel away after only a few sweeps of the blade. Unless you have an old dog of blunt knife that needs to get sharp again, then use the tungsten carbide blades, but finish off with (2) the 600-grit diamond taper and finally (3) either the ceramic blades or that lovely ceramic block on the top. Note that the ceramic block is triangular-shape, enabling serrated blades to achieve a razor sharp edge. It’s designed to get into even the smallest serrations. It can also be used on its own like a benchstone. I highly rate it. Lanksy's Blademedic is reassuringly weighty in one's hand. Note it has torx bits for undoing the sharpener for cleaning or whatever. The Blademedic is an inexpensive, practical knife sharpener that groups several different knife sharpening tools into one. It is convenient to carry and easy to use so you never need to make do with a dull knife. Its cost is great value, it is highly durable, and nicely pocketable. Hopefully I'll be more careful and not lose this one. This is quality. Quality lasts long, and in the long run makes for great value. Why buy cheap ineffective knockoff when you need to cherish your knife? This alone is good enough reason to buy what is quite the classic sharpener. 5 / 5 Brilliant good value!

Fantastic Product. Very portable and versatile.

I had been put off from using the Lansky because of a negative review which said it damaged the blade. Well, I finally tried it and went through my collection sharpening each one in minutes, and especially the serrated blades which I usually avoid. All steels S30V, 420, AUS8 all sharpened ready in minutes for a final touch on the leather strop. Excellent.
