Lansky Deluxe 5-Stone System

“I used it for over a decade as my primary sharpener, but I grew frustrated with it.”

“I've used one of these for years and I love it.”

“I use this system and all of the oxide stones. I love the system you developed. I have no problem with the stones. I do have a problem with the locking clamp and its grind angle holes.”

“I've used the Lansky for over 25+ years and have gotten along reasonably well using it. Yes, it is cheaply made and has its faults, but as it is what I can afford, I do the best I can do with it.”

“I've had the 5 stone deluxe kit for years. I have sharpened tons of knives on it.”

“I used clamping type systems for years with mixed results, and the biggest pain was always the fiddly clamping systems used.”

“I used it only twice. Messed up my blade a bit due to low strength grip of the jaws.”

“I personally use a Lanksy deluxe with an added course diamond stone and a lansky turn box”

“Been using the Lansky system for years now and I have figured out how to get very good results from it.”

“For anyone considering this system - spend the extra money and get the Lansky Diamond sharpening system.”

“I used my Lansky for decades before I found your channel. For MY PURPOSES, it worked well enough.”

“I've used the Lansky system for a few decades and it produces excellent results.”

“Ive used a Lansky for a couple decades now. I absolutely love it. It puts a razor edge on anything.”

“the Lansky Deluxe is a pretty nifty sharpener. I like to take the hones and just hold them in my hands without the guides or clamp when I sharpen though.”

“It's cheap, flimsy, harder to use than it needs to be, and ends up costing more than superior systems once you manage to address it's major issues.”

“I've been using the Lansky system for 33 years and have never worried about this and have never had a problem.”

“This clamp design is so bad, wish i looked for something more modern.”

“I find I can get a sharper edge then any other technique I've tried, but it is a slow process.”

“Been using this for about 6 years. I seems simple but there is a learning curve. I’m comfortable with it now and can get a blade very sharp with it now.”

“I don't use the oil that comes with. It just clogs up the finer stones”

“I wanted to like the Lansky, I really did. But the clamp system is a pain in the ass, it takes too long to put it together and doesn't work very well or consistent on many knives.”

“Tried this Lansky system out a while back, and my experience was pretty bad with pretty much all my knives that weren't straight blade chef knives. Ended up returning it”

“I bought a set of these (5 stones) while on a trip to the States yonks ago and am very happy using them to sharpen my Swiss Army Knives (and whatever my wife throws my way) and they are the best.”

“The first sharpener I got was a [Natural Stones Lansky](https://www.amazon.com/Lansky-Deluxe-5-Stone-Sharpening-System/dp/B000B8IEA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487799556&sr=8-1&keywords=lansky) system which was fine. It doesn't require much skill and it got my knives sharp enough to shave hairs off.”
