Lansky Sharpening Tool Dlx 5 Stone System LKCLX

I took a very dull knife, one that was almost like a butter knife, and sharpened it back to a respectable level in about 15 minutes the first time I used this. Clearly one needs to practice a little bit with this sharpener in order to bring up the best edge. But anyone can use this right out of the box. Only complaint is the case. Mine would not latch shut no matter how hard I tried. I think the plastic injection mold they are using is getting worn out?! Also they sell a stand for this sharpener. I would liked to have had the option of buying a set that included that stand, as it would make sharpening knives much easier.

Mit diesem Schleifset wird das Messerschleifen zum Kinderspiel. Ich benutze es um meine Outdoormesser unsere Küchenmesser und sogar die Profi- Küchen-Arbeitsmesser meiner Frau zu schärfen.Super Leicht zur Rasurschärfe.KLARE KAUFEMPFEHLUNG! ! !

A great deal of fiddling is necessary to properly straighten the rods. All of the stones are glued in at slightly different angles so you can't just straighten one rod and use it for all of the stones. Some of the stones are glued in at a slant and only one stone was flat. Image of the worst one. The set screws that hold the rod in place on all of them constantly and very easily back out. Irritating and problematic but fixed with some blue Loctite. After a great deal of fiddling, it will put a wonderful edge on... but fit and finish is definitely not worth the money. Very poorly constructed.

LANSKY """"COULD SPEND""""""" A COUPLE BUCKS AND NOT HAVE THIS THING FEEL AND WORK LIKE SOME TOY.THE QUALITY IS JUST ON THE VERY EDGE OF USEFULNESS. IT RIDES THAT EDGE VERY PRECARIOUSLY!NOT SURE IF I'D ACTUAL USE THIS THING TO SHARPEN MY HIGH DOLLAR KNIVES, AT ALL. IT CERTAINLY IS VERY DIFFICULT TO USE WITH THIN BLADED 7" DEXTER FILLET KNIVES. I PUT IN A HAIR SHAVING SHARP FILLET KNIFE, CHECKED THE EDGE ANGLE WITH A SHARPIE, WENT THRU ALL THE STONES EXCEPT THE VERY ROUGHEST, FIGURED WHAT THE HECK LETS SEE....WELL AFTER FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS TO A TEE, AND WATCHING 50 YOUTUBERS OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL WEEKS, MY DEXTER RUSSEL FILLET KNIFE CAME OUT..."D-U-L-L-E-R!NOT HAIR SHAVING SHARP BY ANY MEANS. HAD TO RUN THRU MY SPYDERCO TRIANGLE SHARPMAKER TO GET MY KNIFE TO SHAVE HAIR AGAIN. doh!!!!!!YOU PLAY WITH THIS, SEE THE FAULTS AND UNDERSTAND THE PRICE POINT. THEN GO GET A KME AFTER YOU'RE DONE SCREWIN' AROUND TRYING TO GET YOUR BLADE IN THE LANSKY JAWS, BENDING THE RODS TRYING TO GET THEM OUT OF THE CLIPS IN THE BOX, AND GAWD FORBID THEY REMEDY THOSE BLADE SCRATCHING JAWS VERSUS TELLING "YOU" TO FIX THEM WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE, OR BUY YET ANOTHER PART.LANSKY, SHUT DOWN AND RE-TOOL. USE THE WOO-FLU AS A EXCUSE EVERYONE ELSE HAS. SPEND A LITTLE AND GET LOADS IN RETURN. KME DID!NO WONDER THE CHINESE AND JAPANESE CREAM US IN THE ''DETAILS DEPARTMENT!''

Lansky was always good, but while advertised as "made in America", this set is stamped as Made in China. The listing is wrong.
