## Description

desertcart.com : Lansky 4-Rod Turn Box LCD5D, Brown : Camping Blade Sharpeners : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Easy to use and reliable if kept clean and used with good technique - This is my favorite type of knife sharpener, that always delivers a good edge. I have been disappointed with the pull-through, Vee notch types that leave a rough, burr type sharpness and score marks, along the length of the blades edge. The crossed ceramic rod types make a smooth edge. This one has a set of grey, coarse rods for establishing a new edge on an old or damaged knife, and white, fine rods for getting the final edge or retouching the edge of a knife you have already sharpened. As you sharpen your blade, you will see dark gray stripes appear on the ceramic rods where metal has been removed from the blade edge. You have to rotate the rods a tiny amount after a few strokes to keep the blade on fresh parts of the rods. Once the entire circumference of the rods has been filled up with gray stripes from removed metal, you must clean the rods to refresh the sharpening action. I clean mine by using some liquid dishwashing soap on a small piece of Scotch-Brite or old work sponge and rubbing the rods while rinsing under a faucet. They never come perfectly clean looking, but you can remove enough of the deposited metal to renew the sharpening action. I have been using the holes marked as 25° for all of my pocket knives and kitchen knives, and I like the results. I think the 20° angle creates an edge that is thin and more easily damaged. I have not bothered to check the accuracy of the angles as others have noted. I just used it as it came and have been satisfied with everything from my Benchmade everyday carry to my tiny Victorinox pocket executive knives. Most of my blades are curved toward the tip and I have discovered that I have to tilt the tip of the blade downward and make short strokes on just the curved section of the blade in order to sharpen it properly. For the straight portion of the blade, I hold the knife level. You don't have to press very hard on these and the most effective strokes I have found are a slicing motion as if you were trying to slice off pieces of ceramic from the rods. When retouching an already sharpened blade, I use very light pressure and sometimes go both up and down, making one to four strokes on one side and then switching to the other side, always making the same number of strokes on each side. You must take care to keep your off hand back and away from the base of the ceramic rods just in case your blade slips down. You also want to try to avoid hitting the top edge of the ceramic rods as you bring the knife blade down for sharpening. I have never cut myself but I can see how it could easily happen if you are careless. If you drag the edge across the flat end of the rod instead of the edge inside the v-shape, you will nick your edge and have to use a lot of extra strokes to fix it.
Review: For 12 bucks, there is NO better sharpener! - For 12 bucks, there is NO better sharpener. I'm not a complete n00b when it comes to knife sharpening, but I'm pretty close! After reading all 465765523462341243 reviews on desertcart I decided to finally "Add to cart" and order this bad boy. After what seemed like forever, the sharpener arrived. Yes it's true that the wooden box is "made in China" but I found the quality to be great...especially for TWELVE BUCKS! It's wood, after all, and not plastic. The 2 ceramic sticks seem to be very durable and I am confident that they will last for many, many, MANY sharpening sessions. As you've read, it comes with two medium grit rods and two fine grit rods. The rods are ceramic. I can't fault the length of the crock sticks because I knew how long they were when I ordered them. Ok on to the first sharpening sessions. I decided to start on a 7 year old, cheap China pairing knife that my wife and I have had since we've been married. As you can imagine, this knife was really dull because it has never been sharpened. The knife is about 4 inches. I sharpened this knife at the 25 degree angle, as per the instructions. Starting with the medium grit rods, I held the knife perpendicular to the box. I did it a little different than the directions in that I stayed on one side and went down to the tip and then back up to the top. I did this a total of 20 times, up and down, on both sides. Then I switched over to the fine grit ceramic rods and did the same thing for 20 times. All in all, it took about 15 minutes. After I finished, the 7 year old cheapo was shaving my arm hair and slicing through paper with ease! I didn't strop the blade but this would've made the knife that much more sharper. Next, I moved to my Ka-bar Warthog folder. I've had this knife for about 3 years and it has some damage on the blade. It was also very dull. I did the same thing as described above, only moved to the 20 degree angle. I was expecting to work on this edge for a while because of the damage and it took me about 45 minutes to get the knife hair shaving sharp. I still need to work on the tip of this knife to get it where I want it, but it is great how sharp the rest of the edge is! I don't mind working for a while on a knife so it doesn't bother me that some knives are going to take a long time...just do a little every night until you are happy! I'll be moving on to my other EDC next, my Cold Steel Kudu. A few things: Be mindful of the tips of your knives. Don't roll it off the rods. Try and keep them on the rods when you get to the tip so you won't round them out. Take it slow and you'll get the hang of it! Also, watch your hand! It's very easy to come off the rods and get close to your hand. Also, there will be a lot of steel coming off onto the rods...an old toothbrush is your friend! Anyways, at 12 bucks, it really is an easy decision! I may try and get the diamond rods at some point but right now I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lansky Turn Box - 5 thumbs up
*by A***E on December 23, 2012*

First, the service and delivery were flawless and hassle free. Thanks to those who made it happen. Second, after 5 decades of trying good stones (Arkansas, oil, etc), and never getting the hang of horizontal sharpening, and recently using 400 and 600 grit sand paper because I did not have my stones with me (last two years, mostly 'on the road', long story ....), when I used this the first time minutes after receiving it, I knew I had scored. I've used it for the better part of a month now. I first used the coarse rod to shape up my blades (mostly 2 ESEE's, an Izula and a 3). Then, I used the fine rods. A bit of strop action after, and bingo - sharp as the day they came (and that was very sharp). I keep the fine rods now set up in my studio, and use them several times per day, just a few strokes before and/or after a project - whether whittling wood or prepping a meal. It's simple - I love simple gear, and the more low tech the better to do a job. It's effective. And when used as the directions suggest (keep your fingers well away from the rods while sharpening or you will pay with blood!), very safe. I have zero criticism about this at this time. I eventually may add a Spyderco Sharpmaker. My original plan was to buy that one, but I couldn't afford it, so found this instead for a lot less money. (Less than half.) The Spyderco may do a better job with longer blades (5" - 6"), but for shorter ones, like 3" and below, I can see no advantage. But regardless of whether I add a Sharpmaker, the Turn Box will definitely stay in my kit, especially for camp. Excellent product. I strongly recommend if for anyone looking for a small, portable, quality product at a reasonable price.
