3-Stone Standard Diamond Controlled-Angle Sharpening System
The Lansky system is ideal for outdoor, kitchen, and workshop knives. With over 40 years in production, it’s a favorite among DIY and cutlery enthusiasts worldwide, offering the widest range of accessories.
Maintaining a consistent angle is crucial for sharpening, and the Lansky Controlled-Angle System ensures precise bevel sharpening every time. Whether youre a beginner or an expert, this system delivers a professional razor-sharp edge, making it the ultimate knife-sharpening tool.
The Hones
- Coarse Purple Hone: (200 grit diamond) for edge reconditioning
- Medium Orange Hone: (400 grit diamond) for sharpening and less frequent touch-ups
- Fine Gold Hone: (600 grit diamond) for most frequent touch-ups to keep your blade paper-slicing sharp
The Clamp
The knife clamp included in the system holds the knife steady, and the angle guide is static and firm so that the user can achieve the desired angle with every stroke of the sharpener. The sharpener is designed to be held in the hand or used with one of our universal stands, like the Pedestal Mount, Universal Mount, or Super "C" Clamp mount, which ensures it will fit into everyones workshop.
Getting Started
For blades under 7":
Position the clamp in the middle of the blade.
After sharpening, flip the clamp (and blade) over and repeat the sharpening process on the unsharpened side.
For blades over 7": Choose where to start sharpening and place the clamp two finger widths away from that spot. For example, if you start at the tip, place the clamp two finger widths from the tip.
Secure the blade in the clamp. Place your fingers along both sides of the clamp to define your target sharpening zone. Avoid sharpening outside this zone to maintain the correct angle.
Sharpen within the target zone. Then, flip the clamp (and knife) over and sharpen the other side.
After sharpening the first zone on both sides, place the clamp two finger widths from the edge of the sharpened area. Sharpen the new zone using the same method and number of strokes. This ensures a continuous sharp edge with minimal gaps or overlaps.
Remember!
For the best results, move the hone diagonally forward toward the guide hole in the clamp, covering a small section of the blade with each stroke. Use the full length of the hone on every pass.
Always sharpen into the blade. Sharpening along the length or away from the blade can damage both the blade and the hone.
Keep your strokes consistent across each target zone to ensure a uniformly sharpened blade.
Pro-tip!
NEVER use honing oil on the diamond hones as it may clog the diamond, resulting in a smooth surface. To clean Lansky Diamond hones, wash with water and dish soap and scrub with the soft bristled nylon brush. Rinse soap thoroughly and allow stones to dry. Diamond hones should be completely dry before next usage.
Whats the best angle?
30° Angle:
The 30° Angle is an excellent angle for knives that see a lot of heavy use. This could include cutting cardboard, wire, or carpets.
25° Angle:
The 25° angle is the recommended angle for most knives that need a durable, sharp edge. This angle is ideal for hunting and outdoor knives.
20° Angle:
The 20° angle provides an excellent edge for kitchen cutlery and slicing knives. It is a commonly used angle for higher quality blades, and possibly the most often used.
17° Angle:
The 17° angle should be used when an extremely sharp but delicate edge is needed. This angle is perfect for razor blades, scalpels, filets and similar tools.
