This is a great little puck to keep around and sharpen up any blade you might need because once you learn how to use it properly, you can put a hair-shaving edge on blades within a couple minutes! I would check out YouTube for a demonstration because once you see it and try it, you'll get the hang of it fast. It's really easy to use, I promise!
Personally, I always have trouble keeping the blade at a proper angle when I'm trying to use a flat sharpening stone at a table. Instead of taking the blade to the stone, it makes a lot of intuitive sense to take the stone to the blade instead! It's easier to sharpen that way and more fun!
So once this came in the mail and I learned to use it, I started putting dangerously sharp edges on all the things! Even on my Moraknivs Lol not just tools such as lawn mower or axe. This puck is really diverse in its applications, and easy to use, in that way! My fiance was skeptical, but he asked me to sharpen his knife for him and 5 minutes later, he had to admit that the Lansky puck did a really good job!
I purchased this puck specifically to sharpen and maintain a Tramontina machete, and it has done marvelously in that regard. Traditionally, those types of machetes come a little unfinished, so the owner can modify to their specific needs, so it came without an edge. This Lansky puck was a dream to use, it's actually really zen to sit there with it rubbing the edge of the blade, and hear the way it rings when you have the angle right. I was able to put a hair-shaving edge on that machete. It took a little while for the first time but maintenance after that has been very quick.
When I am able, I will be picking up more of these pucks to keep around. They're best used with either water or oil. If you choose water for a stone, stick to water, and if you choose to use blade oil, then stick with that. You can use them dry but it's not a very comfortable experience to do so. They're a fantastic value for the money, as they're inexpensive, effective, efficient, and easily portable!
