Lansky Sharpening system

I like it.  It does have it's limitation's but I knew that I would only be sharpening my hunting knives and shorter kitchen knives so it works for what I bought it for! You will still need a strop if you want to put that final shaving sharp edge on your blades.

I've always had difficulty sharpening knives. Either I was holding the blade at the wrong angle or doing something else incorrectly out of ignorance. I've tried those mini belt sander sharpeners, special electric disk sharpeners, V-sharpeners and a variety of wheels and flat sharpening stones. Never could get a great edge.
This Lansky TB 2D2C system is perfect for me. It comes with a rough set of rods for initial sharpening, and a ceramic smooth set for maintaining the edge. You can choose either 20-deg or 25-deg (I use the 20-deg). Sharpening is as simple as cutting down vertically along the rods with an equal number of left and right strokes.
I know it's a rather no-brainer way to sharpen a knife but hey, it really works.

The belt sharpening system attachment is a great addition to the WS3000.  I use it for my carving knives and it works great.

Wouldn't call this a sharpening "system". More like a sharpening gadget. Don;t waste your money.

I have depended on a variety of sharpening methods. The basic tool has worked VERY well for chisels and plane blades. I wanted the attachment for larger blades and some freehand work. I really like the system. The only point in the process that required some careful attention was adjusting for perfect square on the under-feed. Check out George Vondriska's demonstration of the tool.

Does what it was designed to do, and is simpler to set up than its Lansky counterpart.  Three stars because it will scratch your knifes finish if you are not careful.  Not really the stones fault its just that the way the Gatco (and Lansky) system works is the user doesnt have great visibility of the knife being sharpened.

I've owned a lot of different knife sharpening systems and this one blows the rest away. I bought a Spyderco knife a while back and it's one of the best purchases I'd made. So when I saw this I knew it had to be the highest quality and deliver a razor sharp blade. I was right! If you want a fine edge on your blade, you can't go wrong with this sharpening system.

This is a fine sharpening system - worth every penny spent.  If you've never sharpened a knife before, don't panic, this system is dummy-proof. You can restore an edge to factory new or better. Your knives will last much longer using this system vs. an electric grinder or a conventional stone, and your knives will be a pleasure to use.  When your edge is consistent, touch-ups are quick and easy, removing the minimum amount of steel.  This is a great tool.

GIVES THE lansky kit a fantastic "base" of operations.  You will be able to finish putting you're edges on your blades, making them shaving sharp.  Takes edges you thought were a lost cause and makes them new again!!!!

Very Nice Sharpener. Good Construction, Easy to set-up and use. Has worked well on a couple of old dull pocket knives and one kitchen knife that was good quality, but dull. Happy with the purchase.

This stone is amazing, and a very worthwhile addition to the Lansky kit. really polishes the edge to a mirror finish. I use it every time.

A must have!  The price was great as well. I believe Lansky should add them to their systems but then again the price was still well worth it!  I have mine mounted on a 3/4in 2ft x 2ft piece of well oiled ply. Works fantastic.  Wife even uses it on her kitchen knifes!

I have never been able to sharpen my chisels and planes as well as I can now with the Work Sharp WS3000.  It made quick work of my old,dull chisels, as well as my new ones.  I was a snap to revive my bench planes.  This included squaring them up and putting a fine edge hone with a polish that you could see your reflection in.  I haven't tried it with lathe and carving tools, but the video that comes with it makes it look equally as simple.

It's a hefty price, but if you do much woodworking, it really saves time keeping your cutting tools in great shape.  It takes a little time to set up, but is not complicated.  If I had realized that it would be this easy, I would have gotten one years ago.

Lansky stones are still US made and very nice quality.  I have had good luck with all of the one I have purchased.

Got this to go along with my Lansky Puck for my various garden tools, camp hatchets/machetes, and lawn mower blades. Speeds up the sharpening process while building a decent "slurry" to aide the cutting. Actually brings back some of the enjoyment of sharpening your tools. I have never tried this with any finer blades like kitchen or carry knives, as I use water and a whetstone with those, so I cannot speak for its effectiveness with that.
