How to Use the Lansky Turn Box Knife Sharpener:

1-Stage Sharpening:

1. Set Up: Place the turn box on a stable, flat surface at a comfortable working height.
2. Select Rods and Angle: Choose the sharpening rods (diamond for sharpening or ceramic for polishing) and place them in either the 20° or 25° angle holes.
3. Grip the Base: Hold the base firmly with your non-dominant hand, keeping fingers away from the rods.
4. Position the Knife: Start at the heel of the blade (closest to the handle) an inch below the top of one rod.
5. Sharpening Motion: Hold the knife perpendicular to the work surface and draw the blade down the rod towards you, maintaining a slicing motion.
6. Alternate Sides: Repeat this motion on the other rod for the opposite edge of the blade.
7. Repeat: Continue alternating from rod to rod until the desired sharpness is achieved.

2-Stage Sharpening:

1. Start with 20° Angle: Place rods in the 20° angle holes and perform 10-12 strokes per side to thin the blade’s edge.
2. Finish with 25° Angle: Move rods to the 25° angle holes and follow the same sharpening technique to finish the edge, creating a durable, sharp compound bevel.

Pro Tip: Avoid rolling the tip of your knife off the rod to maintain an evenly sharp edge. Use slow, consistent motions for the best results.

Maintenance and Care:

• Cleaning the Rods:
  • Metal shavings may accumulate on the ceramic rods, slowing their effectiveness.
  • Use a Lansky Eraser Block or a soft cloth with a little soap and water to clean the rods.
  • Ensure rods are completely dry before storing them in the base.

Ideal For:

• Kitchen Use: Keep chef's knives, paring knives, and utility knives razor-sharp.
• Outdoor Enthusiasts: Perfect for sharpening hunting, camping, and survival knives.
• Home and Workshop: Maintain a variety of blades including utility knives and fillet knives.

Safety Note:

Knife sharpening is inherently dangerous. Always use caution and follow safety guidelines to avoid injury. Keep out of reach of children.
