Lansky Turn Box Four Rod

Excellent product, easy to use and will ensure the correct angles each time, every time. I would say idiot proof but if you insist on doing it wrong you could but with this system you would have to try. As usual HH cannot be faulted. Best in the business of customer service.

I've always been hopeless at sharpening knives, no matter what method I use and how careful I am. I was tempted to take the plunge and go for the Spyderco, but the reviews combined with the price of this made me take a chance.

Following the easy instructions, almost expecting to have no result, my ridiculously well used and dull Svord Peasant was suddenly sharper than new!

I have to keep touching the edge to believe how sharp it became in so little time!

The box is very, very nice indeed and would make a lovely gift.

Like this a lot!
Simple design, easy to use.
Good results.
Highly Recommended!!
As usual great service from the H/H team.

I like others have tried various systems with mixed results, this is just great though, especially if you're new to knives, you can't screw up...and even if you do it's easily corrected. I'm with most of the other reviewers here, there's a lot of fancy pants systems out there at twice the price and more, but this does exactly what they do, and just as good. Great bit of kit.

I have tried for the best part of probably five years with different sharpening products. Whetstones, oilstones, Gerber sharpeners, Fiskars roller sharpeners, honing steels, ceramic hones, tradition kitchen sharpeners, blade tech....... I have managed to blunt all my knives consistently and in the process scratch all the side of my best knives. I received this on the 12th of Dec and by the end of the day there wasn't a knife in my house you couldn't shave the hairs of your arm with ( and I am a talentless idiot!!) I cried myself to sleep with tears of happiness... All joking aside this is the best sharpener I have ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I can get a sharp edge anyone can.
Buy one £19 what have you got to loose...

This is really very, very good. It does exactly the same job as a Spyderco Sharpmaker at a fraction of the cost. The Lansky sharpens at 20 or 25 degrees but, as someone else has already noted, you can stick something under one end to change the angle if required. I've upgraded to this from a Gatco Micro-X and I'm glad I did. The Lansky provides far more working room and is a lot less fiddly as a result. The wooden box is well made and is small enough to live permanently in my bail-out bag. So far this morning I have put frighteningly sharp edges on a Marbles Sunfish, a handful of SAKs and my beloved Taylor's; I shall be moving on to the kitchen knives next... Highly recommended.

An easy and quick way to sharpen your knives and once again great delivery speed.

I have struggled with a traditional sharpening stone for many years, to maintain the right angle/deal with the burr. This system helps with that enormously. The instructions are simple. It is also a nicely designed product which has visual appeal. Looking forward to spending some time on my cherished knives, I sat down yesterday evening in front of the TV, and in a disappointingly short period of time had put the best ever edges on all of a 5" sheffield sheath knife, a Buck 110 folding hunter, an Opinel, a Rough Rider folder and a 4" Winchester GP sheath knife. To get a finer angle you can put a pen under the wooden block & tilt it, (see youtube for video example) but I found the edges I got very acceptable. The fine rods allow for a lovely near shaving-sharp edge to be obtained. Using alternate strokes on each side of the knife sorts the burr out too. Highly recommended for practical knife owners who want a quick but high quality edge without taking too much steel off the knife.

Simple, easy to use and repeatable results. I have spent a fortune trying to save money with smaller hand held sharpeners, they have their place, but I wish I had bought this first.

it is a good sharpening system but the angles are a little to wide for me. I would have preferred they copy the angles of the syderco sharpmaker which would have made this a much cheaper yet equal alternative. As it is I might still have to fork out for the spydie one. Still a great starter or spare kit and it will get a nice edge on most knives. If you dont want to spend 60 quid then I highly recommend this one.

THIS IS THE FIRST KNIFE SHARPENING PRODUCT
I HAVE USED STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX AND BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE RAZOR SHARP RESULTS WITH OUT ANY REAL TRIAL OR ERROR, AND TO HIGHLIGHT MY POINT EVEN FURTHER, I WAS WATCHING TV AT THE SAME TIME.
THE LANSKY DOES EXACTLY THE SAME JOB AS THE SPYDERCO VERSION AT A FRACTION OF THE COST, DONT BE A SLAVE TO MARKETING HYPE,
THE MONEY YOU SAVE COULD GO TOWARDS A SPYDERCO KNIFE!
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Took awhile to get here as it was out of stock when i ordered it but well worth the wait,its easy to use i got my knifes razor sharp in no time....thanks heinnie

Having bought one of those small pocket sharpening stones and had limited results I thought I would try one of these. Amazingly easy to use and my knives were razor sharp in no time. It is also small enough to take with you anywhere. Buy one now!

Bought the crock stick about two months ago, no other words to say about this sharpener but brilliant. Keeps all the kitchen knives sharp as well as my own collection....absolute pleasure to use.
Still use my DC4 out in the field, and together with the Crock Stick it is all you need.

I have owned this sharpener for about 4 months now and found it to be a very good addition to my tool kit. It is possible to get a very sharp edge on a blade, almost razor sharp,there is no fear of loosing the angle on the edge of the blade if you keep the blade straight as possible as you pass it down the rods. The best sharpener I have used for the money.

Great sharpener for the price and couldn't be easier to use, quality of the wooden base is very good, much better than I expected. Well worth the money and fast shipping and delivery as usual from Heinnie.

I've always been too scared to try and sharpen knives, but this system is excellent, superb value and easy to use, my 20 year old Victorinox is at last sharper than when I bought it.

Two pairs of holes: 1pr x 20 degrees + 1pr x 25 degrees so you can achieve the sharpening angle you want.

Probably most suitable for folding knives around 2-4" blade length. Good to have medium AND fine grit rods. Good product + good value for money.

I've got the 2 (medium grade) stick version of this.. It's very good, I've used it for a couple of years. It's easy to use and gives a fair result quickly. With the fine sticks as well it'll be even better- but a little more bulky..
