How To Use:

Carbide:
To set an edge for an extremely dull blade, or to sharpen the blade in seconds if the need arises. Just three or four strokes using moderate pressure will restore your blade. Note: Tungsten Carbide is extremely aggressive and should only be used for super quick sharpening. For general edge maintenance, use the Serrated Ceramic element (3), or the Diamond Tapered Rod (4).

Ceramic Sharpening Rods:
Polish and finish an edge in three or four strokes. Always use the Ceramic Rods as the finishing step to using the Carbide element. The fine Ceramic Rods can be used on their own to provide a “touch-up” sharpening to relatively sharp blades. Ceramic Rods are not very aggressive and can be used on your blade often.

Serrated Knife Sharpener:
Designed to get inside small and large serrations. Always move the blade away from your hand. For larger serrations, use a sweeping motion with the sharpener to cover the entire surface of the serration.

The Medium Grit Ceramic element can also be used on its own in a bench stone type fashion, or like a butcher’s steel (See 3a above). The Medium Ceramic element is harder than steel, will never wear out, and should be used often as the primary sharpening element of your BladeMedic. Eventually, metal shavings will accumulate as dark streaks on the ceramic and will slow effectiveness. Clean with a Lansky EraserBlock.

Diamond Tapered Rod:
For very fast reconditioning and maintenance of both straight and serrated blades. Excellent for gut hooks. The tapered shape of the Fine Diamond Rod allows for greater versatility. Quickly sharpen small and large serrations or use like a butcher’s steel on straight blades. The Diamond Rod should be used sparingly. Its recommended use is for when sharpening speed is crucial, or for hard to sharpen items such as gut hooks. (The use of lubrication/honing oil is not recommended with diamond sharpening products.)

Lansky’s entry into the sharpening world started in 1979 when Arthur Lansky Levine, a medical student and prospective coroner, was consistently disappointed by the sharpness of his surgical tools. He started tackling the challenge of making a sharpener that anyone could use to get a razor sharp edge on their tools and knives. Pairing his surgical knowledge with his experience managing his family’s Outdoor Store, Arthur set out to learn what challenges faced the knife sharpening world and how he could solve them.

Using contacts from his outdoor retail experience, Arthur started supplying the his newly developed sharpening system to outdoor retailers worldwide. As the line continued to grow, so did the Lansky brand, reaching more retail stores, consumers and slowly but surely becoming the most extensive line of sharpening equipment and accessories found today.
