Lansky LK3DM 3-part diamond sharpening set

Lansky LK3DM is a professional sharpening system, consisting of 3 diamond 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 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, and carry out the grinding in a very precise way with a constant angle.

Unlike the classic "sharpening by hand" requiring 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 retains its working sharpness much longer.

The set with diamond plates is designed for sharpening knives made of hard, highly hardened steel , such as CPM-S30V or M390.

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 LK3DM set includes 3 diamond stones, allowing you to carry out the main tasks of repairing, sharpening and smoothing the cutting edge.

The steel inserts with evenly carried diamond grit are mounted in polymer housings with different colors that allow quick identification of each gradation.

The diamond coating is harder than sintered carbide, making the sharpening process quite easy and fast, and no water or oil is required.

In order to maximize the life of the diamond plates, the blade should not be pressed down hard during sharpening.

Pre-clean the diamond plates with a nylon brush (included), then wash in warm water with mild detergent.

Stones included:

Lansky Coarse Diamond LDHCR with a gradation of 120 is used for pre-sharpening and repairing a damaged cutting edge

Lansky Medium Diamond LDHMD with a gradation of 280 is used for working sharpness, and sharpening severely dulled cutting edges

Lansky Fine Diamond LDHFN with a gradation of 600 fine is used for smoothing the blade, and quick sharpening of slightly dulled edges.

It also comes with Lansky Nathans Honing oil, which increases the quality and efficiency of sharpening. Plates coated with a few drops of oil are slower to wear out, which extends their life and reduces scratching of the blade surface.

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 LK3DM set is facilitated by a resealable polymer box.
