Sharpeners

[ivan_yulaev]

Just a quick question, I'm considering getting the Lansky Standard Sharpening System, but I'm curious, how long do the stones usually last? I'm only gonna be sharpening a few blades on it, and even then, not very often. Should I get the standard, or something higher-up, with diamond stones or something?

What kind of blade material will you be sharpening? What types of blades? How dull are they now?

I will be sharpening primarily 440C folding knives, roughly 1" - 3" long each. They aren't very dull ATM, and I don't use them very much...so I'm only gonna be sharpening 1 blade per week, if that much.
