I'm sharpening challenged big time. That said the Lansky has always let me get consistent, hair shaving blades. Once they are real sharp I can usually keep them that way with a short ceramic stick I carry with me in the pack.
I envy the guys that can sharpen on a stone. I wish I had a dollar for every edge I've boogered up trying to learn.
It’s not that hard to do
Humans have been putting edges on tools by hand since pre-history, so its literally so easy that a caveman can do it. I guess some have always been better at it than others because I believe there was once an Indian chief named "Dull Knife".
