I had a problem with 2 items concerning my Lansky sharpener. The first was the blade clamp. For small blades it was supposed to have a shallow step on the end of both clamp jaws. They would not hold the blade securely, which allowed it to move around and eventually fall out of the clamp. The second problem was with the extra coarse diamond stone. It seemed to be worn out or of bad quality, because the coarse stone would cut much faster than the extra coarse stone. I contacted the company and received a quick response. They asked me to return the defective items and I received replacement parts very fast.
The new clamp worked much better and I was satisfied with it. But even though the new extra coarse diamond stone appeared to be new instead of used, it cut only slightly faster than the one I returned.
The shipping and insurance cost to return the items was more than $5.00 the first time. I'm not inclined to spend another $5.00 shipping and possibly end up with a total of $10.00 spent and still have another bad stone.
This sharpening tool works okay if you don't mind spending 20-30 minutes sharpening a knife. I can sharpen them much faster the old way, even if they are extremely dull.
I must say though, their customer service is excellent.

Not a bad product at all. Best sharpening system I have found to date.
Would I buy another? YES

Lansky Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System with Extra Coarse, Coarse, Medium and Fine Hones
I have been messing with this system for some months. In addition to the diamond hones, I bought the sapphire super fine hone. The system will improve a dull knife. It does not provide what I consider a sharp kitchen knife. The edge is not polished. The notion that the result of using the system will shave the hair on your arm is foolishness.
I have tried electric sharpeners and sharpening services. The former grind down knives excessively and the cost of shipping for the latter makes this method expensive with results about on a par with the Lansky system. The good reviews for Lansky raised my hopes that I had finally found the answer. Not so.
The clamp of the system is not well designed. It will grip knives with flat sides. But the sides of the blades on some of my kitchen knives are not perfectly flat. The clamp cannot get a secure grip on those knives. Ironically the video on the Lansky web site demonstrates sharpening a knife that, based on my experience, would slip out or turn in the Lansky clamp.

I own a number of Benchmade pocket knives and usually keep them sharp with one of the ceramic V pocket sharpeners. Recently, I bought a used Benchmade knife with an M2 blade. The M2 blade is the hardest steel you can get in a pocket knife and is currently out of production because it is so difficult to work with. The knife I bought had been poorly sharpendd and needed the edge angle changed.
I researched different methods on the web and finally found the Lansky YouTube video that shows exactly how to use the product.
I am certainly happy with the outcome. The diamond hones are the only thing that could reshape the M2 edge in any reasonable amount of time. They made quick work of the process and I finished it off with the separate extra fine hone that others have recommended.
The results were so good that I sharpened two additional knives while I was at it. My left arm is now pretty much bald from testing their ability to shave hair.
