Getting things right with the Lansky system

[Bowland blades]

The scandi grind is simply not made for fine work , the most amusing thing Rat mears ever did was fillet a Salmon with one - the result looked like he wrestled it out of a Seals mouth LOL . fine work on fish and game is simply not what they are made for! Running a second smaller primary edge onto such a grind might work some but its not as good as selecting a knife correctly suited to the task .
The altered knife will not be as efficient as say a full flat going back to the spine of the knife with or without its tiny primary edge! It will be a poorer knife at green wood working and battoning ( the tasks that the scandi excels in

The lanksy system surely puts a variable angle on the blade as it moves along it, trigonometry suggests this must be the case.

TBH I‘m determined to get an electric Graeff CC120 in addition to my modified Lansky. Just for kitchen/butchering kives and the odd Mora. No more faffing around, just sharp blades. They are work knives and I don‘t care if any sharpening guru comes along and curses the Graeff as a blade ruining work of the devil.

I recently bought a sharpening thingy, wooden box with ceramic rods that go into holes at either 20 or 25 degrees. It sharpens every knife I have in no time at all. From kitchen carving knives to my keyring knife. Always neem hit and miss for me with sharpening over the years, this one is fool proof!!
