LANSKY STANDART SHARPENING KIT

The Lansky Controlled Angle Sharpening system is designed to give your knife a razor sharp edge every time. The patented Lansky system makes it easy to sharpen your knife at a constant angle for optimal results. Simply place the knife in the clamp and the guide system will maintain a constant angle while sharpening. The Controlled Angle system contains sharpening wheels made from aluminium oxide and ceramic.

SHARPENING ANGLE

Determine the sharpening angle The Lansky sharpening system allows you to select four sharpening angles. These angles are fixed, so you will maintain the same angle throughout the sharpening process. To find out which angle you should use on your knife, you can usually consult the manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not have this information at hand you can find out yourself which angle to use. This is done with the so called 'felt pen' test. Use a permanent marker to draw a line on the fold of the blade and carefully sharpen a piece at the possible sharpening angle. The disappearing part of the line will tell you whether the angle is correct, or whether it should be larger or smaller.

The Lanksy system uses the following angles:
17 degree angle - usually used for Japanese knives and razors. This angle provides a very sharp, but delicate, cut.
20 degree angle - a common setting for most knives with high quality blades. A 20 degree sharpening angle is usually perfect for kitchen knives.
25 degree angle - most knives that require a long lasting sharp cut, such as hunting knives and outdoor knives, are sharpened at this angle.
30 degree angle - knives that are heavily used, such as wood, carpet or wire cutting, will stay sharp for a long time at this angle. Recommended if you expose your knife to such harsh conditions.

The Lansky sharpening system always sharpens one side of the knife. To sharpen the other side, place the knife in the clamp the other way around. The sharpening system comes complete with three stones and detailed instructions so you can get started quickly.
