If you're looking for tips on how to use your Lansky system ,go to YouTube. They've got a number of videos on there about how to sharpen knives both large and small with that system and others that are similar.

Essentially, you'll want to sharpen the YK with the clamp halfway down the blade, so that you get as even a hone as possible. Use the marker method as previously suggested, so that you choose the right angle and don't remove more material than necessary. I purchased the additional diamond hones (Very fine and extra fine), and find that they do an amazing job of maintaining the edge
