Lansky Pocket Knife Sharpener (Carbide, Diamond and Ceramic sharpeners)
The use of a Lansky blade sharpener is easy. First, you do not need to remove the pre-mounted blade from the frame. This includes the thumb stud and the sheath that are typically attached to the handle of the knife.
You only have to slide the blade into the slot and manually turn the handle until it is parallel with the ground.
This is the first step when learning how to use a Lansky ceramic sharpener. It can take some practice before you are comfortable with this.
You want to make sure that the knife is centered with the spine pointing downward.
Easy Sharpening of Kitchen Knives With Lansky
After you have ensured that the blade is centered, the next step is to hold the blade at an angle that is comfortable for you. This is usually between forty and fifty degrees from horizontal.
Some people prefer to hold their sharpener at an angle that is a little closer to the handle to maximize leverage and speed during the sharpening process.
Insert the blade into the slot and turn it counterclockwise. This will lock the blade in place until you let it slide out of the slots.
Next, you must insert the replacement blade into the same slots, but in a downward motion. You must rotate the blade in a counterclockwise direction until the blade catches the edge of the sharpener. You must allow the blade to spin through the opening before it releases.

After you have taken all of these steps, you are ready to take another look at how to use a Lansky knife sharpener. After you have released the blade, you can insert a safety pin into the slots.
Make sure that the pin is seated firmly into the slot. Then, turn the power on to the full mode and follow the same steps as you did in the previous step.
When you have completed the steps, you can test the blade by slowly bringing the blade around a 90 degree angle to ensure that it is sharp.

The Lansky Sharpening System is a quality knife sharpener that can be used by amateurs and professionals alike. It uses a controlled angle system that have been cut into precise facets for perfect alignment and knife sharpening edge quality.
This is a much better alternative to what we have in the past, which was using a file or a flat stone with a little wedge to sharpen knives.
