I ordered both a Henckels 5 Star 7" Santoku Knife (30047-181) &amp; Henckels 5 Star 8" Chef's Knife (30041-201). Sharpener work for both (Santoku, esp)?

I purchased this sharpener when I bought a set of Henckels knives. In my opinion it is a horrible sharpener. When you run the blades through the slots, the blades "chatter" and thus sharpen unevenly. The Wusthof sharpener with a similar look is a much better value and works better.

YesBut recently I have been using ceramic knives,the ceramics do hold an edge much longer.The henkels are great but you do need to keep them sharp either with a ceramic,pr diamond steel or a sharpening service or device....I love my good knives,sharp....

I own the knife and I'm really pleased with it. I'm not an expert but from what I've read those two styles of Steel are virtually the same.if it were me I would trust the buck website over other information. If you buy the knife I'm sure you'll be happy with it I am with mine.

the best way is to go to a reliable knife sharpener person. If none are available in your area, there is a hand held sharpener you can use. It has two little crock stick areas that you use depending on the knife. Check out the Lansky PS Med 01 blade medic or the Zwilling J A Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. Stay away from electric ones as they are hard on the blades.

My fiancee just had one of the knives break at the shank too. it scared the #$% out of her. We loved these knives. it was the 7-in. Edgy Santoku Knife that broke. Edit: the support number is: furi support 415 567 9440 8775679440

I do use both the 5" & the 7". The 5" is well suited for preparing salads plus various smaller Japanese treats. The 7" is ideal for slicing large loafs of bread or larger cuts of meat. They both are excellent knives and should last a life time.

No. Santoku knives are usually sharpened at much less angle than this one provides. I would guess this is around 20 degrees or more and santokus can be around 15 degrees. I ruined a Henkel santoku knife with this sharpener. It should really state at what angle it sharpens. However, if you do a few light passes on the fine slot, it is probably good enough to hone a blade, but you could just use a steel instead.

Ma'am, I'm so glad you asked... I just got off the phone from those fine folks at WorkSharpTools... They, like their products, are incredible. I never hesitate to call, when I have questions. They're polite, patient, and thoroughly professional... To answer your question, they have a special diamond belt kit for the Ken Onion Edition. It includes two belts, a 180 grit, and a 1500 grit. These are what they recommend for sharpening ceramic blades. These belts are available here, at Amazon.com, with part #0002970, and have a price of $25.99... I could not be happier with my gear from WorkSharpTools, as they have exceeded my every expectation. Quality, efficiency, and adaptability, these devices do it all... I heartily recommend their Tool Grinding Attachment, #WSSAK081111, and their Belt Grinding Attachment, #WSSSAK0881112. Additionally, the belts that all of the Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener and Attachments use, are professional grade... You won't find better, even at twice the price... Hope I've answered your question... God Bless You and Yours...

Yes. Henckel makes some of the best quality knives on the market. They are the knives of choice for the aspiring chefs on Hell's Kitchen. I have given them for gifts and liked them so, that I purchased a set of the steak knives for myself.

J.A. Henckels is one of the best knifes you can buy. The set I bought has a fine serrated edge which I prefer smooth edge. I haven't had any problems with them at all. The hone I bought with them keeps the edges sharp.

This could be used to sharpen a Santoku or any knife but the sharpener I received simply did not work. Not sure if it was misaligned, but I returned the unit. I took my blades, including my Santoku, to a local butcher shop that did them all for $1 a piece, which I think was a bargain.

Hey Christine, Sorry but I won't be much help. I bought those knives for someone else. I'll ask them and see if they could let me know. Good Luck and Happy Holidays

A search of either leads you to the same knife. The knife is awesome. I own one and have give two as gifts.

I use it on the Shun Santoku that i have with no problems. It does not reach as far as the dots on the knife. Otherwise you have to take the knives into the store and have them shipped out to sharpen.

They are German knives but, be certain that this is what you want. Although they are excellent knives, my wife was looking for the 2 person "Zwilling J.A. Henckels" knives (these are 1person "J.A. Henckels" knives) of a much higher quality and much more expensive.
