Does it work for santuko knives with straight edge?

Yes, I have two that I have sharpened and haven't had any issues with them.

Yes, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.

I use this stone regularly with my Cutco knives, it works great. The coarse side should only be used for re shaping the cutting edge or for extremely marred up cutting edges. Generally speaking kitchen knives shouldn't need anything more than the smooth side.

I don't think it would do well for small irregular items. Great for straight flat cuts.

Sure, but I wouldn't recommend it. I bought it for the cheap house knives at my restaurant. I sharpen all of MY knives by hand still

Yes. If the bolster goes all the way to the blade then you will not be able to sharpen all the way to the heel of the knife (perhaps the last 1/4 to 1/2 inch). Most Santuko knifes are not fully bolstered and its no problem to sharpen the entire blade, whereas its my understanding a Gyuto is usually fully bolstered (like a French Chef's knife). I have not found that it affects performance at all to have that tiny but of virtually unusable blade unsharpened anyways.

I have only used it on pastrami and prosciutto,which it does very well.Since the blade has a smooth edge I don't think it would work well.

I cannot answer this question, as I do not know. I suggest that you contact the mfgr, if you need to sharpen it. The knife has asian characters written on it, which would lead me to believe that it needs to be angled the same as other asian knives.

I watched my buddy sharpen a fillet knike with it using sweeping angles and it worked fine. This when processing my deer so we had to sharpen it "tons" of time. I believe the knife was a 7" blade.

Cutco's warranty gives you FREE sharpening FOREVER, even if you pass the knives on to your children, and though this would work on their straight edges it will not work on their double-d edge, which I doubt would need sharpening. My Uncle has had a set for over 30 years and never sharpened them. I can tell the difference between his edges and my new ones but his knives still cut just as well.

It should work on anything that opens up enough to fit the body of the sharpener over the blade. Read the notch to see which one to use. I was surprised that it sharpened a really cheap set of sissors. The serration makes it time consuming and you may ask a professional if there is a better way.

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

I just use a regular steel and it works great. Use the angle you would for any knife.

No. It will make the cut, but it does not follow a straight line very well unless the tool (NOT THE BLADE) is supported securely. You can't use a blade-guide because the carbide cutting blade will make short work of anything it contacts...including a metal straight-edge.

Yes ,It will ,providing that the edge on that knife uses a asian style edge of 15 degrees. The sharpener does a decent job. When you sharpen a knife put a peice of paper below the sharpener. and dont forget to wash the knife.

Depending on the actual thickness of the blade, it should. The biggest slot is 1/8 inch thick and 2.25 inches wide and at least 10 inches long (my longest knife, and it doesn't hit anything). I keep a 7" Santoku in the largest slot without issue, and with room to spare. I really like this knife block, and would recommend it if it holds the knife you need it to.

Yes, I think it would work. It is very easy to use and does a nice job on all knives also.

Yes the blade will work the slanted tip of the, blade gives you a much better cut.
