bennyblanco Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Someone has lent me the lansky system but also gave me an adaptor so you could use DMT diamond stones with the lansky blade holder as well, these are quicker and easier than using the lansky stones. You be amazed how sharp your blade is with these type of systems, for general kitchen stuff and touch ups I bought the crockstick turn box in the lansky link for a tenner on ebay.

Axe Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 The Lansky produces fantastic results. Takes a little bit of getting used to, but you won't regret taking time to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have tried a diamond sharpener which seems to put quite a good edge on my knives (When they need sharpening, which isn't very often) but I am finding that with a little care I can get just as keep an edge if I use a very fine Silicon Carbide Stone with a bit of oil on it! I used to have a Ceramic Sharpener for my fish filleting knife but I was not too impressed with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Cracking for a working knife. A bit rough to start with but great once it has smoothed out. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/57145296 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 A piece of wet and dry sandpaper on a flat surface makes an excellent hone for the final touches. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Well this thread has just inspired me to dig out my DMT sharpening kit (very similar to the lansky gear) and bring back to life my Bob Dozier skinning knife after I completely blunted it decorating (I know... who in their right minds uses a 200 quid knife for decorating.... but it gives a stonking finish to wallpapered corners and overlaps :o ) Took me a while as I hadn't realised just how much damage I'd done but the result..... fan bloody tastic. went through all the stones to extra fine and then followed Ray Mears Youtube intructions... Stropped it on my belt and finished it off on the window of my car! Then proceeded to show off to my wife, the result of which is a 2"x2" bald patch on my arm! :o :o Edited March 19, 2010 by Vipa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I use a chefs steel to sharpen my knifes. As I generally only use the knifes to paunch rabbits I find it does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
