POS product. Owned it, used, ditched it.
The rods bend over time, changing the angle making consistency impossible. Lansky should have used tri beams, possibly on swivels for the rods. How do you attach this to a table? Nice that they finally include rubber grips on the vice clamp, scratched up a perfectly polished knife with mine. Can't use it for thick blades like axes et c. No granularity in the angles. The stones are too small. I could go on...

welinderWhy would you need to attach it to a table? Though a clamp accessory is available, I've been using this system for more than 25 years, and have never wished I didn't have to hold it in my hands while sharpening. How did you scratch up a hardened steel knife with an aluminum clamp? Definitely can't use it for thick tools. I wouldn't want to sharpen a sword with it, either. This is definitely for pocket knives, ideally. I've done 8" chefs knives without too much pain, though. I've never needed more granularity in the angles. I have wished for shallower angles, though. 17 degrees isn't enough for some of my wood carving knives. Never felt the need for 19 degrees, though. 22 is just fine for most of my knives. Larger stones would be nice. And more expensive.
