 Great for establishing a new bevelJul 13, 2011
By Mark
The main reason I purchased the standard diamond kit was to allow me to create a known bevel angle on the knives I use these stones for. Which so far have been a few 2 to 3 inch folders, and a Becker BK-2. I have a Kershaw Blur showing up today that probably won't need much attention in the sharpening department for a while, but It will work fine on that blade too. The standard kit will not get you that 'shaving sharp' blade, but it will get you 90% of the way there which may be good enough for a lot of people. I finish up the job by hand, with a DMT extra fine diamond stone. However, you could certainly pick up the extra fine diamond stone for the Lansky and have it all in one box. I may do that but it's somewhat unlikely at this point. Not because I don't like the kit, but I'm trying to develop some skill without extra equipment.
What I like the most about this kit is that during your course to fine sharpening steps, when you are removing the most material, you don't have to worry about the angle you are creating being too shallow or too steep, it's pretty much impossible to do anything incorrectly. I have noticed that the guide rods that attach to the stones, can become loose a bit, requiring you to hand tighten the thumb screws once in a while, and also the clamp that you attach to the knife doesnt appear to hold very tightly, and I don't want to crank down on the little red, plastic capped screw on that clamp to try and make it hold tighter. It appears that tightening it too much would certainly put stress fractures in that plastic, so I have to watch out for that. Overall, the system does a great job which is the important thing. As other reviewers have noted, if your blade is longer than 3 inches or so, you will most likely have to reposition the knife in the clamp, otherwise the stones will just not reach the edge.
As I continue to hone my own skills, I'll probably use this kit less frequently. For people like me that have always just 'winged it' when it comes to knife sharpening, this kit is a great help. 4 stars.

Diamond better than stoneJan 04, 2011
By M. Bryer
"markobaldo"
I've used the stone version of the Lansky Sharpening system but find the diamond system to be a lot less likely to clog. However, if you don't believe you'll be using the system all that much, perhaps the added expen$e of the diamond hones might not make it a good value for you; purchase the stone hones instead. I don't use the honing oil packaged with the kit. I clean the diamond surface with water. Lansky makes a great product at a great price. You will find the system VERY easy to use after you've watched the instructional video found on Lansky's website.
 Lansky Diamond Sharpening SystemFeb 15, 2012
By GFED
OK... so I must have watched every single knife sharpening video on YouTube before I decided which one I was going to buy. It was between the Lansky Diamond Sharpening System or the Spyderco Sharpmaker. I chose the Lansky because it looked to be easier for a beginner with the angle guides and I didn't want to mess up my knifes.
So I buy the Lansky with the metal stand and extra stones. I just got finished trying it out on my first knife. Just one of my cheap butterfly knifes thankfully. It totally destroyed it. I went with the 25 degree slot. You can't use the 20 or 17 even if you want to because you end up grinding the clamp.
I ended up with a 1/2 inch bevel on one side and a 1/8 inch bevel on the other side of my knife. Uneven down the blade. Total garbage. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Should have saved up for the Apex Edge Pro.
