Lansky Sharpeners Super Sapphire Hone

These have given some really ordinary knives a bit of an extraordinary keenness. However, I found that longer knives are better to do in two parts. The angles get smaller the further the hones are away from the jig that holds the knife. It is better to keep the angle similar throughout the process. Hence, better to break the job into parts. There are enough rods to set all the required hones up first, then get into the task of sharpening. A good product.

It goes without saying I already had the basic Lansky set of diamond hones so this is used in conjunction with them. I want to get beyond the 'normal' edge that you get when sharpening a knife or buying one new. To me, a knife - almost every knife - must be as sharp as possible, especially my penknife and my kitchen knives. You definitely don't want a cut from a blunt edge. The Ultra Fine hone gives the blade a really sharp edge. I then go on to a final edge using the Super Sapphire Hone which takes the edge into wickedly sharp territory and that's what I want (High carbon steels give the best edge but you can get a really good edge on most stainless steels). Cutting meat and vegetables is so easy now. The only way to get an even better edge is to buy a Lansky Leather Stropping hone and I'm thinking of doing exactly that ........

Item arrived fast and was as described but had a small chip on one side. It doesn't affect it's use but it was not in perfect condition.

I’ve just made a jig for the Lansky stones as I was sharpening bigger blades than the supplied clamp could hold securely. Works brilliant but once again the stone in my diamond stone has come out of the holder. It’s a pain and seems to happen regularly to other customers. For the price It’s a letdown on an otherwise good product.

Arrived broken but lansky hones are a bit notorious for being fragile as the factory glue that holds the stone in the frame is weak. Nothing Bostick all purpose clear adhesive can’t fix. Perhaps Lansky ought to use Bostick when they make them. Once repaired worked perfectly and puts a very fine edge on a blade. 5 star if I hadn’t had to fix it.

This Product finishes off my existing kit.Excellent Stone puts the finishing touches on the knife for an razor sharp edge!

Gets a excellent edge easily.

Had to super glue the stone back on and it worked ok afterwards. I shouldn't have had to do this. Obviously poor quality control

J'ai acheté cette pierre pour compléter mon kit Lansky. Elle est de très bonne qualité et permet de fignoler le travail à l’extrême. Son grain, pour moi, correspond à quelque chose entre le grain 1500 et le grain 2000. Rien à dire , bon matériel mais pas forcément indispensable ... Si vous avez trouvé ce commentaire utile ...

I have used my Lansky sharpening system for decades. By adding this stone and the strop, anyone can put a scary sharp, hair-popping edge on a knife because it helps them maintain the correct angle. No "one dime, two dime" guesswork here! There is something very satisfying about putting a truly sharp edge on a knife. I love my Lansky system. My stone had a little crystallization on a segment of the sharpening surface, but it doesn't seem to affect the performance. Great product!

Awesome quality and really puts that razor edge on knives that have been sharpened up to 1000 grit. Highly recommended

Avendo acquistato un set di coti della Lansky deluxe fornito di cinque pietre di varia granatura mancava quest ultima, certo non indispensabile ai fini di ottenere una buona affilatura ma indispensabile per ultima rifinitura.Dona un ottima aspetto alle lame rendendole perfette.Davvero un buon prodotto.Ultimo passo per perfezionare l aspetto delle lame. Consigliato.

Tardó un poco en llegar pero es una muy buena piedra, puedes darle un acabado pulido al filo de tus cuchillos y navajas, no lo dice en la descripción de Amazon, pero es de grano 2000, recuerda que debes contar ya con el kit de afilado de Lansky
