The Miracle Sharpener " Creates double-bevel V-shaped edge for superb cutting Ceramic edge provides a final polish Made for straight-edge knives." If you have a ceramic blade or knife, I suggest a "Ceramic" knife sharpener specifically made for "Ceramic" knives. There are many to choose from specifically made for ceramic knives. I am not a pro nor do I have any ceramic blades but from what I have read, there are major differences between ceramic & metal blade sharpeners. Hope that helps!

There are two stages to this sharpener.. There is a pair of carbide blades that are very aggressive (you will see hair like shavings) as it peels the material off the edge. There are also ceramic rods that do hone to the blades. That said, when using the carbide blades, it is most important that you start at the very root of the blade and make a single pull all the way to the tip of the blade. If you do not do this, you will end up with a mess. I prefer "stones" to the carbide blade solution but it does work to put a fairly sharp edge on a fairly damaged blade in a hurry.

it will sharpen any NON serrated knives.works best with knives that need honing for a sharper blade. I would not use it for extremely dull knives.i do have Rada knives which I think are great.

Yes it does. Best knife sharpener I ever used. Just as good as the wicked edge system, yet more compact design for a fraction of the cost.

I use it primarily for honing and keeping the edge sharp. If my knife is really dull and I cannot get a sharp smooth edge with the ceramic rod then I use a stone to redefine the edge. I have found that using the ceramic rod after every two or three uses then I seldom have to use the stone.

Yes, it does. In general it is OK for ceramic tile, but I found it did not make absolutely clean cuts with porcelain tile. One other thing to watch out for is that the higher quality blade I bought at Lowes was a different thickness than the supplied blade, which caused problems.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I don't have any ceramic knives. My best guess would be Yes.

If I need my blade sharpened, my husband does it with his knife sharpener. Hand held ceramic sharpener. Had never thought about taking it anywhere to get sharpened. Hope this helps.

It should not matter who made the knives in question, this sharpener should be able to handle them well - unless you have "ceramic" (white or black blades) rather than steel blades. Those will probably require specialized diamond sharpeners.

No! Put this question to rest. The simple fact is that you cannot hone a serrated edge on a sharpening steel. Not only will it not sharpen the knife, you will probably ruin your ceramic hone. But, hey, as a professional knife sharpener, that's just my opinion.

Ceramic is harder than steel. With a steel rod you don't really sharpen, you hone the edge of your blade and realign in. If you are not removing steel (no matter how little) you are not sharpening your knife. Ceramic rods will sharpen your knife. If your knife is well maintained, professionally sharpened once or twice a year dependong on how much you use it, then a few light passes on each side of a ceramic rod will have you sliding through tomatoes like butter. Be careful. Ceramic rods will break if you drop them.

This sharpener doesn't do serrated knives but it will hone the edge of a Scalloped edge on the ceramic (fine) side only.

No, the manufacturer makes it clear that it is only for sharpening knives (which it does superbly).

Yes, it is small enough and sharp - not pointy. Ceramic knives would not be good to use on bones - they break and dull easily if used on hard objects. On the other hand, they are wonderful to use to slice vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. I especially love the larger one. It is my favorite. Hope this helps.

I don't have ceramic knives so can't answer that but it has done a good job on my metal knives. I have only used it once and realize now that I didn't use it long enough to get the knives as sharp as I wanted so I need to sharpen them again. My knives had not ever had a good sharp edge because all I had was a hand sharpener. I'm happy with my purchase.

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.

no grooves, they're not needed when using a ceramic sharpener. this thing is a beauty: it can be used to sharpen serrated knives, such as bread knives, or slicers. on conventional knives, just use it as you would a conventional steel with grooves.
