Lansky LKCLX Deluxe 5-Stone Knife Sharpening System

The Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening System is a classic, controlled-angle sharpening kit from Lansky Sharpeners, widely regarded as one of the most popular and reliable guided systems for achieving consistent, professional edges on knives and tools. This deluxe 5-stone version uses a patented clamp and guide rod setup to maintain precise bevel angles (17°, 20°, 25°, or 30° per side), eliminating guesswork and ensuring symmetric results every time—perfect for beginners learning proper technique or experienced users needing repeatable precision on kitchen knives, hunting blades, pocket folders, tactical tools, or even chisels/scissors. The five color-coded hones progress from extra coarse to ultra fine for full sharpening—from reprofiling damaged edges to mirror-polished, hair-popping finishes—in one compact, organized kit.

Maintenance tip: Use the included honing oil liberally during sessions to prevent loading and extend hone life; clean stones with water/brush as needed; store dry.
