Diamond Benchstones Woodworking craftsmen, those in the building trades who require precision edges—or anyone who just really appreciates fine cutlery and a really sharp cutting edge for use in the outdoors or in the kitchen, Lansky designed two sizes of Diamond Benchstones. Both the 6” x 2” and the 8” x 2” Benchstones feature an edge-to-edge diamond grit surface for quick, smooth and efficient sharpening of edges and pointed tools.
To handle every sharpening task—from repairing chipped or broken edges to touching up a dull blade—Lansky offers each stone in 5 different grits: Extra Coarse, Coarse, Medium, Fine and Ultra Fine. The flat surface resists dishing to assure precision sharpening. Developing cutting edges with the Lansky Diamond Benchstone system assures precision edges that cut quickly, cleanly, smoothly and safely.
Lansky Diamond
Benchstones
are conveniently self-storing in a high-impact plastic case to protect
the diamond surface.

Lansky Broadhead Sharpener and Wrench Safe, Functional Ergonomic Design in a field ready tool When it comes to functional details for sport-specific tools like broadhead sharpeners, Lansky goes right to bowhunters to find out what they really need in a field-ready sharpening tool - a compact, easy-to-use tool that would fit in a pocket or a fanny pack.
It should include a simple, yet very efficient sharpening system that worked for the wide variety of broadheads on the market. It also needed to be safe and comfortable to use. And it wouldn’t be a bad idea if it did other things besides just sharpening broadheads. That is the Lansky Broadhead Sharpener and Broadhead Wrench. The Broadhead combines a precision, V-shaped tungsten carbide sharpening element and a broadhead wrench for 2, 3, 4, or 5-bladed heads.
The extremely durable, no-rust, tungsten-carbide sharpening head requires no lubricants and takes the guess work out of the achieving the optimum sharpening angle with its pre-set Low-V design. A few gentle stokes efficiently restores or touches up dull broadhead blades to a clean cutting edge. And it’s just as efficient for touching up knives in the field—especially during field dressing.
A safe, easy and compact tool that makes fast work of three different tasks; locks broadheads safely for tightening or replacement, sharpens broadheads , and can be used to touch up knives. The Lansky Broadhead Sharpener will prove indispensable to every bowhunter.
Features Include: Ergonomic Plastic molded grip Non-slip thumb rest Lanyard hole Replaceable Tungsten Carbide heads

Lansky Folding Diamond Fish Hook Sharpener Efficient versatile safe and comfortable to use compact Just read the experts…a sharp hook catches more fish, and when the big ones strike—the hook needs to set sure and deep. So consider, hooks are not necessarily sharp right out of the package and your favorite “lucky lure” may need maintenance with occasional touch-ups to improve its hookup percentage. Enter Lansky’s Folding Diamond Fish Hook Sharpener.
The Folding Diamond Fish Hook Sharpener features a fine-grit diamond-coated 3.5” rod, engineered with three different sized sharpening grooves to handle hooks up to size 14/0. The diamond surface provides quick and efficient sharpening for even the hardest hooks. Simply place the hook in the groove—with the point in the direction of the stroke, and lightly pull the hook to the end of the groove. A few strokes may be all that is required. The sharpening rod works on knives as well, and the fish hook grooves can sharpen other small pointed objects.
The exclusive, rubber over-molded Comfort Grip handle provides a safe and secure grip with a ridged surface for absolute control during sharpening processes. The sharpening rod folds down into a compact 1’’ x 4.25’’ unit for ease of carrying—a perfect size for pocket, tackle box or fishing vest. The Folding Diamond Fish Hook Sharpener utilizes corrosion resistant, marine grade materials, identified by the new Marine White handle color.

For more than 28 years, Lansky Sharpeners has developed new products based on the philosophy of “ build it right the first time”.
In 1979, a young man in the cutlery trade who also ran a sporting good store harnessed the secrets of the professional knife sharpeners and developed a system that, for the first time, enabled the average person to properly sharpen a knife quickly, easily and safely. He knew that the real secret to proper knife care is maintaining a good bevel and the right sharpening angle on each knife at all times so its always ready for the kind of tasks it was designed to perform. That’s when Arthur Lanksy LeVine, founder and president of Lansky Sharpeners, created, patented and marketed his first Controlled-Angle Knife Sharpening System.
At the heart of the original Lansky Sharpening System was an ambidextrous knife clamp made of aircraft aluminum, which had two banks of pre-drilled holes that acted as guides for the sharpening hones. Once the knife is attached to the clamp, the user can bevel or sharpen both sides of a blade to the same, precise angles. The system proved to be so well made, so easy to use and produced such superior results for people with little previous knife sharpening know-how or experience that they have become a standard throughout the world.
As the Lansky firm celebrates its 28th anniversary in 2007, it has launched a whole new line of sharpeners featuring diamond sharpening rods, folding diamond paddles, diamond pads and diamond Benchstones. Lansky now offers the most complete selection of knife and tool sharpeners.
Each year, new and improved products have been introduced, each with the purpose of fulfilling a specific task, making other task easier, or enabling the customer to use edged products more conveniently and comfortably with greater safely, and to store them at home or carry them on trips. Largely responsible for many of today’s sharpening innovations, Lansky’s complete line of sharpening products and systems include a wide variety of diamond, alumina ceramic and tungsten carbide sharpeners—as well as many types of honing stones. They cover culinary, DIY, fishing, hunting, lawn and garden, outdoor, police/security and industrial applications.
Arthur Lansky LeVine, president of Lansky Sharpeners, commenting on his company’s products, said, “Lansky’s mission has always been to make sharpening easier than ever before, and to provide professional results to hunters and fishermen for their knives and edged tools. With our Sharpening Systems technology for cutlery, we pioneered controlled angle sharpening as a foolproof method to produce precision, razor sharp edges every time. And recognizing the need to maintain edges with quick touch-ups in the field, in camp—or on the boat, or at the cleaning table…we developed many innovative, pocket-friendly sharpeners to handle everything from all types of knives, to broadheads and fish hooks. In the final analysis, if cutting implements are not sharp, they are inefficient, ineffective and unsafe. At Lansky our mission is quality, value, and service.”
