Does this work for Ginsu double-bevel knives?

If you want to be really technical, the answer is "no". However, if your knife is now dull, you can use the Pronto to simply re-grind your blade to an even 15 degrees on both sides by using the course slot, ( stage one" ), and then using stage two. After you have done this, always steel/sharpen at 15 to 17 degrees, and you'll be fine. Just be careful that, during stage one, that you keep the blade straight up ( 90 degrees from the table top ), so that the double edge becomes a single edge angle on both sides.

I do not know if it would work for the Ginsu double-bevel knives but the Chef's Choice Pronto Santoku/Asian Manual Knife Sharpener is designed with a 15 degree beveled edge instead of the European knifes that have 20 degree beveled edge. If the Ginsu double-bevel knives have a 15 degree edge it should work since the Chef's Choice Pronto Santoku/Asian Manual Knife Sharpener sharpens both sides of a typical Asian knife.

YES! Use the Wusthof Asian-style sharpener. It does an excellent job. It has both a coarse and fine set of ceramic sharpening stones set at the proper angle for this blade. I have had this knife for quite a while and still love it.

It works for the Santoku knife that I have - I'm not sure what you might mean by Chinese knife. The large slots are pretty deep - my Santoku knife blade is probably about 2 inches wide, and it fits into this no problem.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea, the angle of sharpening is set for US style knives and Santoku knives are usually a different angle.

These are also great if you have multiple knifes. Search on Amazon-----eKitch Large Universal Knife Block - great for steel and ceramic knives (Bamboo)

I am not sure how wide your knife is. However, if it will fit in the sharpener I guarantee it will do the job.

No. It is only for knives with reasonably thin blades--like kitchen knives.

I don't know. I don't like the Ginzu knives I purchased. They don't cut, they rip. No clean slice. They are not at all like the Ginzu knives of years ago. I would not buy these knives again.

Should be able to. Using the slots it fits any angle. The diamond rod can be used also if you hold it to the degree you want it. It works great on all my knives.

Don't know. I'm using it for the Swiss Victorinox knives which have an Asian edge, at least the angle. But I think they aren't sharpened on one side only like a lot of Japanese knives.

Sorry, I can't help. While I ordered this item, it was not suitable for the Asian knife I have. So I returned the item and ordered a different sharpener.

Yes it will work well but the blade should be long enough otherwise the handle of the knife will not allow you to draw the full blade through. The area that the blade needs to pass through is approximately 2 1/8" deep. Keep that in mind. You can stretch it a little by tilting the blade up or down. I have sharpened pearing knives with this unit but it is a little tight.

Im sure it would. Its worked on all of my knives so far. I dont see why it would have a problem with yours.

Yes it will work with any double edge blade but since it is a mild razor, seems to go best with the sharp/efficieint Feather blade.

Haven't tried it yet, but i think it would work on single and double cutters only. Getting the depth set and angle of cut will differ pending on the type of shaft your countersink has.

Usually the blades for japanese knives and german knives are at a different angle. Since this is a german knife sharpener, I would stay away from sharpening japanese knives.

No, because the blade surface is double-edged; doing that would only dull the blade on one edge.
