Hi folks.
I bought a 5 stone Lansky sharpener and like the idea of 5 stone choices. When I got the set, I ordered the plastic mount for it. I set it up but found that when the part that holds the knife was put on the plastic support that it rocked and would not sit on the plastic mount right, or so it seemed to me. I then bought the metal stand thinking that would be better. It was not any better at holding the knife steady. Am I doing something wrong? To me (a beginner) the part that holds the knife sitting on the post should be tight or at least hold the knife steady. What I am concerned with is --Am I getting an accurate angle with the holder moving?
I love both the Lansky and my SM but concerned over the movement when I use the Lansky. Other than this one thing the Lansky has worked out very well for me on putting nice edges on my knives.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Tar
