Sharpeners Lansky
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.

GRINDING X SHARPENING
There is a significant difference between grinding and sharpening, because when grinding we give the blade the desired shape, when sharpening, on the contrary, we straighten the blade and strengthen it.
BLADE ANGLE
The lower the angle of the blade, the sharper it is, but at the same time it is more prone to blunting, what means that we grind at a greater angle for knives, machetes or cleavers, because we treat them more roughly. On the contrary, kitchen knives have a lower angle.
SHARPENER SELECTION
The most suitablesharpeners are synthetic ones made of silicon carbide. These whetstones are double-sided, have a different grain size on each side and can be also used to sharpen blades made of high-quality steel.
HOW TO PROCEED FOR FREE HAND GRINDING?
The whetstone must be constantly wet, we moisten it with water or vegetable oil. Place the blade with the edge at the right angle on one end of the whetstone and pull it evenly slightly to the right against the blade. It is necessary to keep the correct angle as well as the number of strokes on each side. After grinding, a relatively rough surface remains, the same procedure must be smoothed on the finer side of the grinder. After grinding, drip the oil on a grinder and wipe off the steel sawdust created by grinding. In our e-shop you can also find grinding sets from Lansky sharpeners, that guarantee you the right grinding angle. You find also several types of grinding stones from extra coarse to ultra fine in the set.
