The American company Lansky, full name Lansky Sharpeners, is the world's leading manufacturer of whetstones. It is generally known that a blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife. Whether you have a folding knife, carambite, machete or ax, you should not neglect maintenance if you want your tool served its purpose and lasted for many years. Maintaining the right angle when grinding with your free hand is practically impossible, so Arthur Lansky Levine designed a special grinding system as early as 1979 that holds the right angle when grinding and guarantees the expected result.
Even with the combined blade, you can easily achieve professional results with Lansky sanding sets. In the Lansky brand portfolio you will also find quality pocket grinders, kitchen grinders, grinding stones, polishing stones, multitool tools (multitool pliers), quality folding knives, steels and, last but not least, top PREP sets (Preparedness, Resource, Equipment, Pack). PREP set is the most important package of the equipment you will need in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency.

For universal use, a blade with a smooth edge is the most suitable, with that you can cut practically everything, as with a serrated one. The serrated edge is ideal for cutting ropes or leather, but on the contrary, it is not possible to chop wood or work wood properly with it. The golden mean is the combined edge combining smooth and serrated ones, but even this variant has its disadvantage - grinding. It is very difficult to sharpen the combined edge at home.
The blade is the most important thing on the knife, it is made of either carbon or stainless steel.
Carbon steels contain more carbon, what is also reflected in their properties - they have better cutting properties, are easy to process and also grind, for example, by grinders from one of the most famous grinding manufacturers on the market, Lansky sharpeners, whose products can also be found in our offer. The disadvantage of carbon steels is their greater susceptibility to corrosion, so they require careful maintenance. Although stainless steels are not entirely stainless, as the name suggests, they require less corrosion maintenance than carbon steels.

Handles are mostly ergonomically shaped and rubberized to fit well in the hand and prevent the hand from slipping on the blade and subsequent injury. In the range of folding knives, you can also come across knives with handles made of kraton, that is durable and has a low weight, or also made of steel, that is even more durable but heavier.
