Sharpener Lansky Turn Box LCD5D

Lansky Turn Box 4 ceramic LCD5D is a simple sharpening system with 4 ceramic rods, enabling sharpening of kitchen knives, everyday knives and survival tools

Traditional hand-held sharpening, considered by many knife enthusiasts as the best method of sharpening, requires experience, practice and patience, for which most of us do not find the time or the will.

For those looking for simpler and equally effective sharpening methods, Lansky has designed the Lansky Turn Box Sharpener that can be successfully used at home, while camping or hunting.

Building

The construction of the sharpener is very simple, it consists of a wooden base with holes with different angles of inclination and a set of 4 ceramic sharpening rods.

The user can independently decide on the selection of the sharpening angle, based on his own preferences, the purpose of the knife or the specification provided by the manufacturer.

After placing the bars of the same gradation in the holes, a V-type system (two-sided) with a constant sharpening angle is formed. This allows you to maintain control over the grinding process, thus affecting its correctness and quality of sharpening.

The wooden base also acts as a transport container, enabling safe transport of the set elements in one place.

After packing, the set weighs 205 g and takes up little space, so fans of survival and bushcraft can also use it in field conditions.

Sharpening angles

Depending on the type and purpose of the knife, the cutting edge may have a different angle, affecting the strength and cutting parameters. The Lansky Turn Box Sharpener offers 2 angle settings most commonly used by knife manufacturers.

•     20 ° - kitchen knives, pocket knives, small edc folders,
•     25 ° - large EDC folders, hunting, outdoor and survival knives

Sharpening

The sharpening rods are made of hard alumina, which are suitable for sharpening popular steel grades, e.g. 440C, N690, 14C28N, AUS8. The set includes 4 ceramic rods:

•     2 bars with a gradation of 600 medium for giving the working sharpness,
•     2 bars, 1000 extra fine, for polishing or quick sharpening

White bars with a gradation of 1000 - we use at the last stage of the sharpening process to polish the edge and give it the final sharpness.

600 grit gray bars are used to give the working sharpness and quick sharpening.

It is worth buying a Lansky Eraser Block LERAS cleaning block, which allows you to easily and quickly remove steel coating from ceramics, which was deposited during sharpening.
