Lansky Turn Box 4 Ceramic Sharpener LCD5D

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

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

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

Construction

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

The user can decide on the sharpening angle himself, based on his own preferences, the purpose of the knife or the specifications given by the manufacturer.

When the rods of the same gradation are placed in the holes, a V-type (double-sided) system with a fixed sharpening angle is created. This allows you to maintain control over the grinding process, thus affecting its correctness and the quality of sharpening.

The wooden base also acts as a transport container, allowing the elements of the set to be carried safely in one place.

When packed, the kit weighs 205 g and takes up little space, so survival and bushcraft enthusiasts can also use it in field conditions.

Sharpening angles

Depending on the type and purpose of the knife, the cutting edge can have a different angle, affecting the strength and cutting performance. 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 knives, outdoor knives, survival knives

Sharpening

The sharpening rods are made of hard alumina, which are suitable for sharpening popular steels such as 440C, N690, 14C28N, AUS8. The set includes 4 ceramic rods:

• 2 rods with a gradation of 600 medium for working sharpness,
• 2 rods with a gradation of 1000 extra fine for polishing or quick sharpening
• White rods with a gradation of 1000 - we use at the last stage of the sharpening process, to polish the edge and give it final sharpness.
• Gray rods with a gradation of 600- are used for working sharpness and quick sharpening.

For the set, it is worth buying the Lansky Eraser Block LERAS cleaning block, which allows you to easily and quickly remove the tarnish of steel from the ceramic, deposited during sharpening.
