Lansky Sharpeners PS-MED01 Blade Medic

This pocket-sized tungsten/carbide + ceramic + diamond + serration sharpener is a great tool. In under a minute it turns a dull pocket knife from “useless” to “blinking sharp.” The build quality feels bomb-proof for the price. It’s super compact and works on plain and serrated edges. Great for your backpack, pocket, or toolbox. For quick fixes and everyday touch-ups, it’s hard to beat.

The Blademedic will never let you down, but its tungsten carbide sharpeners are extremely rough on steel and over time can take quite a lot off your precious knife. This is why I use either the white ceramic block (1000 grit), or its 'V' ceramic blades (also 1000 grit), or if sharpening serrated edges, the diamond taper (600 grit, not '1000' which I mistakenly said recently. Size: Smaller than many pocket knives at 3.9 x 1.25 x 0.45 inches (closed) and with a weight of 3.3 ounces, it is an entire sharpening kit that fits conveniently in your pocket. The tapered diamond sharpener clicks firmly back into its 10cm body using a magnetic block, about 1cm square. When extended the diamond taper also is secured by a similar magnetic block, roughly same measurements, 1cm square. These magnets are really useful to keep the taper from wagging like a dog's tail. Some notes: The ceramic pull-through sharpener is used as a finishing step to the carbide sharpener to finely hone the blade. It can also be used on its own to “touch up” relatively sharp blades. Again, only three to four strokes are necessary. The pull-through sharpeners are simple to use. You simply place the blade in the sharpener and pull it through with a little downward pressure applied. Beware the tungsten carbide blades because they are hard on your knife and can take quite a bit of steel away after only a few sweeps of the blade. Unless you have an old dog of blunt knife that needs to get sharp again, then use the tungsten carbide blades, but finish off with (2) the 600-grit diamond taper and finally (3) either the ceramic blades or that lovely ceramic block on the top. Note that the ceramic block is triangular-shape, enabling serrated blades to achieve a razor sharp edge. It’s designed to get into even the smallest serrations. It can also be used on its own like a benchstone. I highly rate it. Lanksy's Blademedic is reassuringly weighty in one's hand. Note it has torx bits for undoing the sharpener for cleaning or whatever. The Blademedic is an inexpensive, practical knife sharpener that groups several different knife sharpening tools into one. It is convenient to carry and easy to use so you never need to make do with a dull knife. Its cost is great value, it is highly durable, and nicely pocketable. Hopefully I'll be more careful and not lose this one. This is quality. Quality lasts long, and in the long run makes for great value. Why buy cheap ineffective knockoff when you need to cherish your knife? This alone is good enough reason to buy what is quite the classic sharpener. 5 / 5 Brilliant good value!

This is almost better in the flesh than I expected from the photo. It's a good size and very solid. One of the allen key screws did come loose it's true, but that's hardly a fatal flaw and was an easy fix. Lots of stuff on the other reviews about the rat-tail diamond rod but I find the magnets hold it in place OK. This is the first time I've used a tungsten 'v' sharpener that actually works and the same goes for the ceramic 'v'. I almost wish I'd just bought a good quality diamond rod though because this one works really well. Particularly good for the tips of kitchen knives which blunt easily and are hard to sharpen. However, the 'serrated ceramic' feature was what I got this for, because it's hard to find something for actual fine serrations. This is probably not as fine as I would have liked but probably that would have made it too fragile. Still, it worked well on the food processor blade (yes really). Overall a very solid quality and effective device that is also very portable; genuinely pocket sized.

The Lansky Sharpeners PS-MED01 Blade Medic is an excellent tool for anyone looking to sharpen their knives quickly and easily. The compact design makes it easy to carry with you wherever you go, so you can keep your blades sharp no matter where you are. One of the standout features of the Blade Medic is its versatility. It can be used to sharpen straight and serrated blades, as well as to repair damaged blades with its tungsten carbide and ceramic sharpening rods. This means that you can use it to maintain a wide range of knives, from kitchen knives to hunting knives to pocket knives. Another great feature of the Blade Medic is its ease of use. The sharpening rods are labeled with the type of blade they are designed for, so you don't have to worry about using the wrong one. The rods are also pre-set at the correct angle for each type of blade, so you don't have to worry about getting the angle right. Overall, I highly recommend the Lansky Sharpeners PS-MED01 Blade Medic for anyone looking for a versatile and easy-to-use knife sharpener. It's a great tool for maintaining your blades and ensuring that they are always sharp and ready for use.

It is a very good tool for sharpening all types of blades and knifes. I use this regularly for sharpening the many kitchen knives that I have. All the sharpening edges are carbide and I have been getting very good results.

Very-very good and helpful for knifes

L’affûteur est de bonne qualité, il a l'air solide et résistera longtemps aux affres du temps. Il y a plusieurs angles d’affûtage selon le tranchant voulu. Par contre, il ne faudra l'utiliser que sur des lames qui sont émoussées car il enlève de la matière, si c'est pour un redonner du tranchant a une lame en bon état, il faut s'orienter mais le même article mais de couleur orange qui remplace le carbure de tungstène par de la céramique beaucoup moins agressive.
