The Lansky will work..... slooooowly. The hones are too small, you have to keep shifting the clamp along the blade on longer knives like a filleting knife and in the end the whole kit will end up sitting in a drawer somewhere, I'm not even sure what drawer mine is in anymore.

For doing kitchen knives, filleting knives and the like and you feel the need for guidance to keep the angles right, I'd suggest getting a Spyderco Sharpmaker.

For grossly abused knives, it would take a while to get the edge back with the medium hones but it works and for regular touchups, it's compact, doesn't need honing oil or water, packs up into a compact kit and works waaay faster than the Lansky. They do have a set of diamond coated sticks for taking care of heavy reshaping or sharpening of those abused knives though and if you get the optional Ultra Fine sticks, you'd have a complete set of extra narrow hones you could even use for your razors if you wished.
