TEST FIRED LANSKY SHARPENING SYSTEM A CUT ABOVE! BY JASON CAMPBELL "TO HELP YOU SELECT THE BEST SYSTEM FOR YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE THREE MAIN PACKS AVAILABLE, ALL WORK BY THE SAME PRINCIPLE. THE TRICK TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHARPENER DEPENDS ON YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS AND YOUR SKILL LEVEL." HUNTING E FISHING NEW ZEALAND, DARGAVILLE tthe time of writing, we were relieved that the Covid traffic light system meant that we were good to go ahead with our planned roar trip. For many of us particularly in the northern end of the country, the opportunity to again plan to get out hunting was top of mind. And when it comes to planning a hunt, an important part of hunting preparation should always be to get those knives sharpened and ready. Often a downed animal is in a difficult spot to gut or butcher, and it can be bad enough struggling because of the terrain, let alone battling a blunt knife. In fact, the joy of using a favourite knife that you have sharpened and prepared yourself prior to the hunt, willmake this part of hunting a satisfying experience as apposed to a battle. The finished product will also be something you will be prouder of back at camp or when you process the cuts further at home. Knowing knife preparation is a vital part of hunting, but a skill in itself that noteverybody has had the chance of learning, it's great that companies like Lansky cater for all levels of sharpening experience. By the way, the Lansky Sharpening systems work for all other types of knives A To help you select the best system for yourself, you need to understand there are three main packs available, all work by the same principle. The trick to choosing the right sharpener depends on your personal needs and your skill level. Someone who has been sharpening knives for a long time will feel perfectly at home freehand sharpening on a bench stone, someone with less experience in knife sharpening on the other hand will do better with one of the controlled angle sharpening systems which have made Lansky famous worldwide. The Lansky controlled angle sharpening system is a guided system that will give your blade a professional razor-sharp edge. The kits include ambidextrous knife clamp with guides for 17", 20°, 25°, and 30° sharpening angles. Once you attach the knife to the clamp you select the angle required. This system allows you to sharpen both sides of the blade at the same angle. The system comes in several abrasive options, including alumina oxide, diamond, and Natural Arkansas. The system is great for regular users and beginners alike. Generally, the higher the grit number the finer the edge, to give you an idea of what grit selection may look like, here are the hones that come in the Lansky Deluxe 5 Stone system - - Extra course (70 grit) for re-profiling your blade - Course (120 grit) for edge reconditioning Medium (280 grit) for regular sharpening Fine (600 grit) for frequent touch ups - Ultra-fine (1000 grit) for polishing All hones are replaceable, and we have a great honing oil available at our stores as well. So happy sharpening and get that knife ready to make the precise cuts for head-skinning a trophy this roar, or at the very least, ready to take the prime cuts from a plump 'eater. You are not going to take a full sharpening system into the hills, so check out the Lansky Blade medic or Pocket Sharpener for touch-up work, perfect to stow in the day pack. While you're at it, treat all knives in the house to a birthday, and if required Hunting & Fishing also sell a great range of First Aid kits for all your needs! too, like your fillet, kitchen and farm knives.
