I picked up this kit at a local store recently to try out the lansky brand. I find it to work well. the system works on small to mid size knives very well. however larger knives present a problem. With a larger knife the clamping system tends to let the knife slide out, but a piece of rubber or material could be used to prevent this and would just insure no scraps on your knife anyway. Also with larger knives you need to sharpen one part of the knife and then reclamp it and sharpen the other section. another design issue with the Lansky system is the red thumb screw if you are trying to sharpen a knife using the 17 degree guide the thumb screw can get in the way even more so if you are using a thin narrow blade. overall I give this system a 4 star rating. works great and its issues can be overcome with a little forthough. i would recomend picking up an extra course stone if your knives have not been sharpend in the last 2 years. It will just save you some time.
