The Lansky Deluxe sharpening kit works fairly well as it comes, but there are a number of other things Lansky sells that will make things easier. First and foremost, if you don’t have a vise attached to a desk to anchor the clamp in, you’re really going to want to invest in the Super “C” Clamp. This will clamp to the edge of a desk – or a vertical surface – and has a moveable peg that you can set the angled clamp onto, fitting into a hole on the clamp in between the main screw and the thumb screw. When it’s time to switch sides, just lift the clamp off the peg, flip it over and place it the other way – simple! There are also two other mounts – a universal mount that can be permanently attached to a table, as well as a pedestal mount with a flat bottom.

With the thumb screw still loose, set the stone and rod down on a flat surface, and holding the handle flat, press down on the top of the rod until both it and the stone are flat on the surface of the table. Then tighten the thumb screw down as tight as you can (without using tools, to avoid stripping the insert.) This is so that you have a straight line between the rod and the stone. If you don’t, your actual angle will not be the same as the angle indicated on the clamp.The clamp – which is the heart of the system – has two symmetrical sides both in an L-shape. There is a thumb screw towards the rear, and a round headed Phillips screw towards the front, with a mounting hole for a stand in between the two. The forward screw threads into the bottom half of the clamp, so it tightens the clamp on the blade, and the rearward (thumb screw) is threaded into the top half and pushes down into the bottom half, adjusting the angle of the clamp.
