Lansky Turn Box 4 Rod

I decided to get one of these to sharpen my daily basher (EDC) when I'm out and about camping, fishing, shooting etc because of its size, simple set up and neat carry case. I received mine this morning thanks to Hennie Haynes brilliant service. I ran my spyderco through it for a couple of minutes and just like that it had an edge I could work with, exactly what I wanted!

I bought this because I've found it difficult to maintain the 25/20 degree angle using whetstones. The box is smaller than I expected (didn't read the dimensions) and fits great int he kitchen utility draw. The instructions are easy to follow. I had a few knifes with poor edges and quickly got them serviceable. My cheap-o Rough Rider Canoe Mini which was buggered and wouldn't cut paper now slices with ease. I would recommend this kit to anyone with a skills gap with a steel or whetstone, I will be buying more to pass to family for their kitchen items. As usual fast service from the guys at Heinne!

Difficult to add anything that hasn't already been written on the previous comments about it. It's simply very very good at what it does Brilliant simple design and quality. Very happ with it. Cheers HH for the great service :-)

I am no sharpening genius and the guys at HH recommended this product. Works brilliantly, puts a great edge on your knife with no skill required! Excellent value and effective. 10/10.

Love this sharpening system, great value for money, got one for me, then one for my dad shortly afterwards, very happy.

Well firstly another big thanks to HH for outstanding service and delivery speed. As for the turn box itself, well despite all the reviews, at this price I wasn't expecting much. I couldn't have been more wrong. I have a gatco hone system which is good for sharpening damaged or very badly worn blades, but it takes time to set up and get great results. The turn box is so quick and effective I sharpened 6 knives in around 15 mins, all of which are hair popping sharp( there's not much hair left on my arm) don't be put off by the price as I was try it for yourself. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't use it to re profile a knife , but if your blade is in reasonable condition then this system will get it razor sharp. It's also so easy to use and portable .

I have been using one of these Turn Box sharpeners for a few months now and it really works to give a very sharp edge. Lansky make a range of guided hones, most of which I have but the rods on this turn box give a sharp edge quicker, the medium - brown hone is 600 grit and the fine - white hone is 1000 grit, together they are just about right. There is another product that Lansky sell, the Eraser Block, it cleans the metal removed from the knife blade off the rods and keeps them from getting clogged up - well worth the £6 or so that they go for. I sometimes use the turn box outside where you can't be sure of a level surface and this alters the edge angle so I've glued a round spirit level, meant for caravan levelling , between the two sets of holes to make sure of accuracy. All together a fine sharpener and a bargain at the price.

The sharpener does exactly what it should do. It took a very blunt and abused knife (stainless steel Mora Clipper) and made it close to hair shaving sharp in very little time. I found no learning curve and no guessing to get the right angle. This was my first order from HH. Delivery was extremely quick and packaged brilliantly. I also ordered a knife blade and was pleased to see the warnings on the tape to handle with care and see how tightly the box was taped up. Shows great attention to detail. I wish that attention would be placed on designing the website though as I find listing by manufacturer means you either need to know what you are after or spend far too much time trying to browse through the products.

Bought this sharpener for a chef at work, it really is so simple to use, after 5 minutes of explaining she was sharpening away with no problems at all. the results are very good considering the sharpener only cost 20 quid. The ceramic rods store away easily in the box and are well protected from damage. Thank you HH!
