Sharpen with lansky??

[B.C]

Hi,

Im sure sharpening a kuk is asked often but i want to ask if anyone uses a Lansky kit (the one with angles) to get a kuk scary sharp. Mine is not very sharp ie for cutting.

Also how do you use the brandisher??

thanks

B.C

B.C., Have and do use the Lansky stones to sharpen. I use them freehand without the guides as it's hard to line up the guides on the average khuk edge.

B.C., if you're using a Lansky I would suggest using either the highest or second highest setting. Anything lower will make the edge too weak for chopping tasks, plus you'll have to grind on it a LONG time to form a burr. Good luck.
