LanskySharpeners Super Sapphire Hone

Used with the Lansky system to give a super sharp finish.

Gets a excellent edge easily.

It goes without saying I already had the basic Lansky set of diamond hones so this is used in conjunction with them. I want to get beyond the 'normal' edge that you get when sharpening a knife or buying one new. To me, a knife - almost every knife - must be as sharp as possible, especially my penknife and my kitchen knives. You definitely don't want a cut from a blunt edge. The Ultra Fine hone gives the blade a really sharp edge. I then go on to a final edge using the Super Sapphire Hone which takes the edge into wickedly sharp territory and that's what I want (High carbon steels give the best edge but you can get a really good edge on most stainless steels). Cutting meat and vegetables is so easy now. The only way to get an even better edge is to buy a Lansky Leather Stropping hone and I'm thinking of doing exactly that ........

The quality seems the same as the hones I got from Ginorgee on here (set of 5 with bars and blade holder for £20.02)This is the Hone ONLY no guide bar!

Very nice stone for getting that super fine mirror finish, works well.

These have given some really ordinary knives a bit of an extraordinary keenness. However, I found that longer knives are better to do in two parts. The angles get smaller the further the hones are away from the jig that holds the knife. It is better to keep the angle similar throughout the process. Hence, better to break the job into parts. There are enough rods to set all the required hones up first, then get into the task of sharpening. A good product.

Received this yesterday and the stone feels awesome. Unfortunately it wasn't actually attached to the holder

Provides a glassy finish to the blade. It's like a tiny mirror along the edge of the knife.Not cheap, but if you want to squeeze that last drop of perfection out of your sharpening there's no substitute for a quick finish on this.

Puts an almost mirror like finish to my blades.

I use the lanksy system exclusively for sharpening all of my knives, pocket knives for everyday tasks up to fixed blades and kitchen knives.This stone I use second to last, beginning with the coarsest and working my way through to this stone, the yellow hone after and then stropping. After going through the motions I get hair popping sharp results.Keep the stone clean by using some oil on a paper towel and wiping the small surface grit off you get from running across the blade and it will keep honing the edge.Great results will continue to use.

Tardó un poco en llegar pero es una muy buena piedra, puedes darle un acabado pulido al filo de tus cuchillos y navajas, no lo dice en la descripción de Amazon, pero es de grano 2000, recuerda que debes contar ya con el kit de afilado de Lansky

Piedra grano 2.000 (2.000 granos por cm2).Especial para dar una finura extra a los filos.Según varios comentarios, la placa de afilado zafiro se despega del soporte, en mi caso después de muuuchos afilados, sigue en perfecto estado, no se ha despegado ni cuando se cayó al suelo desde 1 metros de altura; afortunadamente ni se despegó ni partió, esto último hubiera sido fatal.Saludos.

Kam heute an. Leider in 2 teilen. Der 0.5 gramm kleber waren wohl etwas zu wenig. Ich klebe es selbst wieder ein. Wenn es dann OK ist gibts noch einen Stern mehr. Klebereinsparen zur Gewinnmaximierung ist verständlich; hier wohl leider etwas zu weit getrieben./Edit Jan2020: Auf 5 Sterne hoch - weil das System einfach genial ist, immer noch 100%ig funktioniert und der Schleifstein seinen Dienst, seit dem Neu-verkleben, versieht. Ich habe all meine Kochmesser auf Rasiermesserschärfe und schärfe sogar meine 2 Rasiermesser (die absolute Endschärfe hole ich da aber mit einem 10.000er Wasserstein). Aber das Lansyk-Set hat mich voll und ganz überzeugt - habe ein 2tes Set gekauft und in die kochbegeisterte Verwandschaft verschenkt. Ein Vorteil hat die extreme Schärfe - wenn man sich schneidet (und das passierte ;-) mir und meiner Frau) ist der Schnitt so fein und sauber, dass es super verheilt :-) Lansky hat mich überzeugt!
