I also use the Lansky Deluxe Sharpening System... So far its working great for me... I’ve used it to sharpen my SAKs (except the 58mm), MT’s, folders and kitchen knives... and strop afterwards...Seldom use the extra course hone except when I need to reprofile edges... The coarse hone I use on blades which have been used regularly... otherwise, its normally just the medium to extra fine hones for touch-ups...Also thinking of getting the special hone for serrated edges...

I do recommend freehand as well, just so you learn it abd get a feel for it, ypu can use your Lansky stones for it. And also learn stropping! Do NOT underestimate the power of the strop Especially if you have a couple of them with some compound on one of them!

Do NOT underestimate the power of the strop Especially if you have a couple of them with some compound on one of them!I have been thinking of getting/making a strop or two Sent fra min FRD-L09 via TapatalkI went to K-Rauta and got a plank which they even helped me saw into proper lengths, and then I ordered Bältes Läder at slojd-skinn.se at 4cm and just made strops with contact glue. Easy peasy! I recommend this compound:https://www.sliqhaq.se/strigelpasta-micron-p-521.html?cPath=4_32_114Just a size of a green pea will cover a rather big strop. First strop with the compund and then strop with raw leather, then you can shave with it!
The Strop is powerful indeed Most of my sheaths are thermo-molded plastic covered with leather, people are amazed when I show them how to use the sheath as a strop.......they all think stropping starts and ends in a barber shop
Do you use the "rough" side or the smooth side of the leather to strop? Sent fra min FRD-L09 via Tapatalk

Sent fra min FRD-L09 via TapatalkI use both, don't really think that it matters because as far as I know, it's small silicon particles in the leather that does the "sharpening", so it should be equal whatever side. But I know that others like to put compound on the suede rough side because it sticks easier and do the raw leather stropping on the flat smooth side.
