Lansky LKCLX is a professional sharpening system, consisting of 5 ceramic stones of different gradations, a clamp and guides, allowing you to choose the right angle and maintain full control over the sharpening process.
Lansky sharpening systems, are widely recognized as one of the best and relatively cheapest professional sharpeners in the world.
Based on many years of experience, Lansky has created an extremely simple and efficient system that allows you to choose the sharpening angle depending on the type and purpose of the knife, fix the blade steadily and carry out the grinding in a very precise way with a constant angle.
Unlike the classic "sharpening by hand" that requires skill and experience, the system allows you to maintain proper control of the angle, so you can be sure that the sharpening will be carried out correctly.
The effect of such sharpening is easy to predict, the cutting edge is perfectly sharp and cuts much longer.
Ease of use, great efficiency and effectiveness of Lansa systems means that our knives can always be "razor sharp" without having to buy several different sharpeners.
Construction and operation
The system consists of a clamp, metal guides and grinding stones. The aluminum "T " shaped clamp is used to hold the knife firmly, which prevents it from moving during grinding.
After the knife is seated in the jaws of the clamp (with screws), we connect the guide to the grinding stone, then choose the angle that best suits the type and purpose of the knife.
Adjustment of the sharpening angle is done in a simple way- by placing the guide in the notches with predefined angles: 17°, 20°, 25° and 30°.
The clamp has a double-sided design, so in order to sharpen the other side of the blade, you simply turn the clamp and reposition the guide with the stone, without having to remove the knife.
Sharpening angles
The clamp has 4 sharpening angles designed for different types of knives:
17° - filleting knives, kitchen knives, precision cutting tools,
20° - kitchen knives, pocket knives, small edc folders,
25° - large edc. folders, hunting knives, outdoor knives,
30° - survival knives, heavy duty tools
Stones
The Lansky LKCLX set includes 5 ceramic stones, allowing to carry out all repair, sharpening and polishing of the cutting edge. The stones are mounted in polymer housings with different colors allowing quick identification of each gradation.
Lansky Ultra Fine S1000- the 1000 gradation is used at the last stage of the sharpening process, to maximize the polishing of the edge and give it the final sharpness.
Lansky Fine S0600- we use gradation 600 in the first stage of polishing, a gradual process that gives the edge perfect smoothness and very high sharpness.
Lansky Medium S0280- we use a gradation of 280 in the middle stage of sharpening, to give the edge a working sharpness.
Lansky Coarse S0120- gradation 120 we use in the initial stage of sharpening, in the situation when the blade has become heavily dulled or damaged, in the work of changing the angle of the cutting edge and sharpening outdoor tools.
Lansky Extra Coarse S0070-graduation 70 is used in the restoration of the blade, in works related to changing the angle of the cutting edge and sharpening of outdoor tools.
The kit also includes Lansky Nathans Honing oil, which increases the quality and effect of sharpening. Stones coated with a few drops of oil during sharpening maintain proper moisture content, which prolongs their life and makes it easier to achieve professional sharpness.
For the set, it is additionally worth buying the Lansky Eraser Block LERAS cleaning block, which allows you to easily and quickly remove from the ceramic stones the tarnish of steel, deposited during sharpening. If you want to increase the stability and comfort of sharpening, it is also worth considering the purchase of the LM010 vise, used to fix the system to a table or countertop.
Carrying the elements of the Lansky LKCLX set is made easier with a resealable polymer box.
