The Lansky Four Rod Turn Box is a very stable and compact knife sharpening system. It works well in the kitchen and it quickly breaks down for storage in a drawer. Its also great for outdoors people on the go because it is lightweight and stores easily in a backpack. It only takes a few swipes to maintain an edge (a bit more if you have a really dull knife). There are two pre-set knife sharpening angles in the wood block 20 degree & 25 degree.

25 Degrees - This is used for most kitchen knives and provides a sharp, durable edge.

20 Degrees - This is used for those desiring a very sharp edge. Some examples would be for filet knives or cutting tomatoes. Lower degrees result in sharper knives, but require more regular maintenance.

This 2-Stage Knife Sharpening System features a hardwood turnbox with internal rod storage in the base, and four 5" long alumina ceramic rods. (2 medium 600 grit grey rods, 2 fine 1000 grit white rods)
