Lansky Natural Arkansas Sharpening System with Natural Arkansas Coase, Medium and Fine Hones

I have used Lansky systems (both standard and diamond) before and disliked the way they tend to leave deep scratches on the metal of the knife edge that are hard to polish off. Some people like that, kind of a microscopic saw blade effect. I prefer a smoother more polished edge.

The Arkansas stones are less aggressive requiring more patience but with a smoother result. The hardest part of using this system, for me, is that I have to use a light touch. I am kind of heavy handed. When done correctly this system works on just the cutting edge of the knife. Almost too small to see with the naked eye.

The best way to do this is to determine the correct angle for the type blade you are working on, set up your equipment and count your strokes. Arkansas stones don't raise much of a detectable burr so counting strokes is the only way to keep your blade balanced.

I also recommend the use of a Lansky Super Sapphire Sharpening Hone for final polishing and a Lansky Super "C" Clamp as a third hand.

If you have any experience sharpening knives this system will put an edge on that you can easily shave with assuming your knife steel is up to it of course. I sharpened a couple of my everyday CRKT knives with it and couldn't be happier. I have been using the knives for some wood carving since I sharpened them and I can still shave the hair off my arm or cut paper like I'm using scissors. I sharpened a couple kitchen knives and cut raw chicken like I was cutting butter. This system is well worth the money the only problem I have had is I needed to replace the hone guide it's made of aluminum and where it makes contact with the blade is pretty thin and I broke it but the replacement was less then 10 bucks maybe just order an extra when buying the kit. All in all this is well worth the money and I will be buying a kit for my brother for Christmas.

I've used a Lansky ceramic sharpening system for years and made the switch to the natural Arkansas stone system recently. The difference in edge quality between the two systems is amazing. I am able to get scary sharp edges and always at the preferred angle. Although somewhat messier than ceramic or diamond systems, because you have too keep the stones well oiled during use, it's a minor inconvenience. Additionally, the Universal Mount (which "c-clamps" to a bench or table) is highly recommended to aid in ease of use...

Decent price. Stones are narrower than I expected but not an issue. Only thing I actually do not like is the jig, it's cheaply made and does not hold onto my tapered knives well.

It will take a while to hone a new edge to razor sharp perfection with this system, but nothing I know of will do it better. Well unless you have mad skills with your steady hands. Don't ever use a grinder on any blade you cherish please! Just be careful not to slice through your body parts afterwards and not notice until you feel blood dripping. It is possible perhaps to go too sharp if you get the sapphire stone... Just a warning.
