Best Beginner Knife Sharpening System under $20. How To Use The Lansky Turn Box Sharpening System Correctly. My method is slightly different but it works! The lansky is a very good sharpening system for the absolute beginner. However it is not an end all be all system. It has some limitations so please keep that in mind.

Hi. I have two questions about stropping. The first has to do with how often (roughly) do I need to add more compound to the leather strop. Do I just add more compound as and when I think some more compound is needed, or should I do it, say, once every couple of months? The second question is, how should I store the leather stroop? Do I need to protect it from dust etc (so maybe store it in a box or in a plastic bag) or is this something I do not need to worry about? Thanks!

Old post, i know... by any chance if you read this : the manufacturer recommends to sharpen at 20° and then make a few passes at 25°. I dont understand the idea behind this, can you try to explain and tell us what you think of it ? Other than that, even if i have better systems on hand, this is my go-to sharpener, i'm 100% happy with this system : it's quick, portable, easy, and does a terrific job with a bit of stropping of course. And for those interested in the blade size limitations, note that i have zero problems sharpening my chef knifes with it...

I use the Turnbox for all my folders and fixed blades up to my 5.5" Cold Steel folders. For longer knifes up to 12" I use the Lansky Master Edge 5 Rod sharpener. This one gives you two course rods and two fine ones, like the Turnbox, but 9" in length. You get a 5th rod in a kind of triangular shape with 2 different radiusses at the corners plus an edge on the third edge and a nut. The nut is for tips and hooks, the other corners fit into serrations. So you are able to sharpen literally every knife. I sharpen my Cold Steel Trailmaster with it, and my longest blade, a 12" Herbertz Tanto. After the sharpening process a little stropping, and the knifes are hair popping sharp.

The Lansky Master's Edge with 9" rods is a more capable system and easier for beginners. Much more stable, with a built in hand guard, and it'll handle blades up to 10" with ease. It also has a 17 degree setting for smaller knives and shallow blades like fillet knives. I have a Turn Box as well, but it's only for field use such as hunting trips or a bug out bag. Once you're practiced, the Turn Box will handle honing larger knives with a pull through technique, if you've profiled them properly with the Master system. I find these rod systems are much easier to use than stones, and they also accommodate weird blade shapes like Tracker types that confound a flat stone.

Hey there in the hot place, great to see you are still around. Scary thing about KZfaq channels, us folk watching them form an attachment to the people making the videos but rarely know much about the creators outside of KZfaq. I was beginning to think you might have been taken by a polar bear, walked into the wrong embassy & ended up as dog food or just fallen down a hole. So, nice to see you back & just a comment on this video; really appreciate you sharing something like the holding the knife in two hand and bracing your arms. It may look dorky but it really helped with my Sharpmaker, which I assume is pretty similar to this Lansky system, although perhaps the Lansky has coarser "coarse" rods. And FYI, no other sharpening videos have been as much help as yours in getting my EDC & small kitchen knives usefully sharp. Kia kaha Alex.

@OUTDOORS55 5 жыл бұрын

Haha nope, still here! Sometimes real life gets in the way of youtube☺️ Thanks for the kind words! I have been pleasantly surprised by how well this little system works. Especially for maintaining edges. A couple swipes and your good to go. No mess or fuss. Straight off the rods its certainly not the sharpest knife in the world, but a great working edge. I believe you can buy coarser rods for it as well. Again, thanks for watching my friend!

@@OUTDOORS55 Ok, I'm going to try to go on my rant . One that makes sense, and not just some rambling tangent. The way I understand it is KZfaq changed the way they compensate the people providing content for our entertainment. This in turn has made it so much more difficult for our Tubers to make a living by creating the videos we love to watch. We cut the cord many years ago and KZfaq and Netflix our our sole source of entertainment now. So with the talent we look forward to watching each week isn't there has us rethinking our decision to pay Google for our premium service. Less incentive to watch KZfaq will eventually cost Google a guaranteed revenue stream. My hope is they wake up and start making it more lucrative for people like you to keep making content for people like us, which keeps us happy and paying customers. I wish all my Tubers I subscribe to can see this so you all know you are important to us, but at least I got this off my chest.

In my opinion, the best way to use the Turnbox (or any of the ceramic V systems for that matter) is to re-profile down to 15 degrees on a coarse stone and then use the ceramic rods to apply and maintain a micro-bevel at 20 degrees. With this approach there are no problems using them on larger knives.

@ColdHawk Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I like that approach for finer edges with the Spiderco Sharpmaker (which seems to be a slightly upscaled version of this Lansky). After re-profiling a couple of blades on the coarse ceramic rods that came with it, I bought some diamond impregnated rods. Later, I got some of the super fine ceramic rods for finishing. It seems to work well and it’s a fairly fast process. One caveat though is that some of the kitchen knives we owned ended up with fine chipping along the edge. They were from a German made knife-block set we got as a wedding gift and just seemed to be too brittle. I worked these back to a 20° bevel, and after a couple of years sent them to the yard sale box as we picked up knives we really liked over time. I always wondered if those knives would have been best with a 17 or 18° bevel using a fancier system… but the twin devils of time and money will probably make sure I never find out first hand!
