I have various knives wit different steels: SR 101, 1095, 1075, 420 HC, S30V. Will this sharpener be able to sharpen all of the steels above?

This works on all my stainless and high carbon knives and machetes. The ceramic side provides a super sharp edge, once you get it close with the carbide. The only thing I do that gets it sharper is the leather barber's strop with Turtle Wax rubbing compound.

Hello Kyrylo, In my limited experience there are two principal factors in blade's sharpening. One and the most important is the hardness of the abrasive material (this is the material that you will use to abrade) the abrasive material must be harder than the metal of the blade, so it can erode the blade, until the blade takes a good edge. The other matter is the grain size of the abrasive material, if the size is small, the edge will be thinner and sharpen but it will take much longer to erode the steel, larger grain size will leave a coarse finish but the erotion part is considerably faster. If you are wondering if the carbide stone may abrade any of those steels... my answer will be a resounding yes. This material is one of the most hardest materials ever made and is almost or equal as hard as a diamond, there is no steel made by man that can achieve such hardness. But don't trust me, go and investigate about hardness. I recomend you to search the hardness tables of scales like Rockwell or Vickers, the manofacturer of the steel can provide you the info. You just need to compare the hardness of the steel and the stone. Finally I have a really good experience with this sharpener, as you may read in the description of it, the carbide stone sets the edge of the blade, and the ceramic stone finish the work, this is beacuse the ceramic stone has a smaller grain size than the carbide. And this is a pocket sharpener, to make quick repairs on the edge of modest knifes (like a bowie style and smallers) it's not for heavy duty. I hope I have been helpful. Best regards.

It will sharpen those on the biggest setting. We had a few left over from my 2nd grade twins. We used to use a exacto knife to sharpen them so they didn't get sharpened much until we got this sharpener.

Steel does not sharpen blades, but it makes it straight from both sides. This Henckels steel works very good.

So long as its not a serrated edge, it should. Straight edges only for this sharpener.

Hi - I'm not completely sure. But from my experience, you can use on all knives. It's super easy and a great sharpener. Their customer service is great - shoot them a quick email before purchasing. Hope that helped.

Here's what the instructions say. "Use on alloy, carbon, or stainless steel. Not for scissors, serrated electric knives and any blade that does not fit freely in the guides." No mention of ceramic. I will say it has sharpened everything from a large cleaver to the most thin fillet knives. Hope this helps. I still give it a 5.

It didn't work well for me either. I took off a lot of steel shavings using it but it was never razor sharp. Try a stone. I wonder if you run it through their sharpener then a stone if it doesn't sharpen up quick.

It will sharpen most any straight edge knife. I use it on kitchen, pocket, and hunting knives. It works great.

Not being an expert sharpener. I don't know. I have a diamond stone which I would use for a regular blade.The S miths would be great for the wide variety of serrated kitchen knives. The serrated bread knife jumps to mind. Take a stab at it.

I would not recommend it. I'm not sure if it would do good or harm to the knife. They recommend these sharpeners for knives made in Japan, with a certain blade angle. I think you would be safe just going with a normal knive sharpener for this.

Yes, i believe so i looked at the instructon book and it does not say but it is a lesser angler than all my other sharpeners electric and manual. This is the ONLY sharpener that will adequately sharpen my ceramic knives. Just sharpened my relative's ceramic knives. I even have a black ceramic sharpening rod ( harder than white) and it doesn't do much. Buy the Kyocera if you plan on using ceramic knives as your main kitchen tool

I do not know if this particular model will sharpen ceramic knives. There are specialty items made for such delicate items such as the ceramic knives due to their makeup. An example is the Kyocera Electric Diamond Knife Sharpener for Ceramic Knives which is sold on Amazon as well. This is just a suggestion and should be taken as such. Do your research please. It will pay off in the long run.

Yes, it will. I have several lead holders and all get sharpened very nicely. There are small holes with blades on the sides of the sharpener just for that.

Hi, I bought the sharpener and have used it on both Global and Wustholf knives to great success, best if you finish with the Wusthof steel afterwards.

Yes it can be sharpened. I just make a few swipes on my fine steel between uses and its razor sharp. The blade is very thin so its great for fine thin slicing which is what I use it for.

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.
