Just discovered these on eBay and was about to pull the trigger on buying a set, then had 2nd thoughts about quality. Went looking here for a review. Thanks for the review. I was afraid the stones were not as good as original Lansky and that's really what makes the set. You confirmed my doubts. Thanks.
The clamp and the rods appear to rougly equal to the Lansky system. So theoretically you could get the Chinese setup and buy separate stones from Lansky if you want stone that are different from those included in the box.
@@simonaris Functionally they are the same and in both cases also the weakest point. I glued rubbertape to the inside of the clamp, and now it holds good. I hear more in reviews that the 1000 grit is less good in the chinese set. I think it is a matter of QC margins. Mine works fine, though the magic paper cutting you always see in reviews doesnt work, but neither on the lansky. what i cant find anywhere but would like to know...they are called wetstones. Usually you soak wetstones in water before use untill the bubbles stop coming. If there is any instruction on this set, it talkes about honing oil...How is that why oil instead of water?
They are both made in China, They are made in different factories by different companies. The copy is far inferior to the original even though they are both made in China.

Happy to be of assistance. I wouldn't call the Chinese copy useless but it definately isn't of the same quality as the Lansky.
Thanks for help, greetings from Poland.
What about the clamping system? Are they doing the same job or does the Lansky have an obvious advantage? Are the rods straight on the Chinese one?
