Lansky Turn Box 4 Rod

Bought this after being enticed by the reviews, I originally wanted the sharpmaker but the price was a big turn-off, so I went for this instead. Decided to give my fairly blunt Spyderco Tenacious a whirl on it, within 10 minutes it wasn't a knife anymore, it's now pretty much a straight-razor. I'd recommend this to anybody who's never sharpened a knife before. Once again Light-speed delivery by Heinnie, ordered it Tuesday night and arrived about 10:30am next morning!

Forget all these silly little sharpeners and get one of these. I've had them all and they are just a waste of time. This is easy to use and as long as you haven't hacked a tree down with your knife, this will sharpen it up no end.

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.

Top item very easy to use give's a razor sharp edge. Top marks HH .5*****

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.
