Sharpener Lansky Masters Edge Deluxe MEDGE1

TheLansky Masters Edge Deluxe MEDGE1 is a universal sharpening system that allows you to sharpen a smooth and serrated cutting edge at different angles.

The Lansky Masters Edge Deluxe is an efficient and easy-to-use sharpening system for those looking for a universal solution for sharpening smooth and serrated knives of various uses.

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

For those looking for simpler and equally effective sharpening methods, Lansky has designed the Lansky Masters Edge Deluxe.

Construction

The design of the sharpener is very simple, consisting of a polymer base, with holes at different angles, and a set of 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) sharpening system with a constant sharpening angle is created. This allows you to maintain control over the grinding process, thus affecting its correctness and the quality of sharpening.

Work safety is ensured by a folding guard that protects the hand (holding the base) from injury in case the blade slips outside the bars.

The polymer base also acts as a transport container, allowing you to safely carry all the elements of the kit in one place. The bottom part of the base is rubberized, so that the sharpener does not move during sharpening.

When packed, the kit weighs 450 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 different angles, affecting strength and cutting performance. The Lansky Masters Edge Deluxe sharpener offers 3 angle settings most commonly used by knife manufacturers.

• 17° - filleting knives, kitchen knives, precision cutting tools,
• 20° - kitchen knives, pocket knives, small edc folders,
• 25° - large edc folders, hunting knives, outdoor knives.

Sharpening

The set includes a total of 5 ceramic rods:

• 2 of medium gradation for working sharpness,
• 2 of extra fine gradation for polishing or quick sharpening
• 1 triangular rod with a gradation of medium for sharpening serrated edges.

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 800- are used to give working sharpness and quick sharpening
Gray triangular bar with a gradation of 800- is used for sharpening any type of serrations, awls and fishing hooks.

The rod is 230 mm long, so we can also conveniently sharpen large kitchen and survival knives.
