I sharpen my knives for over 15 years with a sharpening steel and miss the final sharpness. After doing some research on the internet I came across the Lansky Abziehset. The first thing I noticed: The set has a pleasant Größ. It is small and can be both good fits in your kitchen drawer, but then it is also large enough so that I can even hold it firmly. The knife can be more controlled than grind to a sharpening steel. This allows me to keep the grinding angle better. This results in a higher sharpness compared to my previous sharpening steel. I'm excited. My kitchen knives have a hitherto never reached sharpness. Even my usually so difficult to sharpening paring knife the Herder windmills (Solinger thin section) can hereby hold prima sharp.
What Abziehset can not (for it is not made): Quite dull or damaged blades need a coarse roughing. This can not be achieved with the included sharpening rods you. This requires gross Waterstones. So please only perform the main grinding and honing with Lansky.
