Does this sharpen white AND black blades?

I only have white Kyocera knives, but I don't see a reason why the black ones couldn't be sharpen as well: they are made of almost the same ceramique material and should interact identically to the diamond sharpening material. Also the diamonds should not pass any color to the blade, on the contrary it should be neutral.

I have black ceramic blades and it does a great job, which surprised me with a battery operated device. I don't see why it would not do white blades, I have used white blades but don't own them and the find the same to me. There is nothing in the manual that does not say not to do either blade.

Yes, you can sharpen small knives and tools on the Lansky Dual Grit Sharpener. It's just like a regular sharpening stone, but it's shaped like a hockey puck.

you must have one darn sharp knife to be able to do that.... i suspect the metal from the knife blade just "colored" the sharpening stick a little bit. hit it with a scotchbrite scrubbie and it will probably turn white again. that's what i did.

Yes. Amazon also sells the sharpening tool. Its the Rapala Ceramic Sharpener Two Stage. Not that expensive and does the job. I use the knives all fo the time and have had to sharpen them one time in two years. Its a great purchase.

It will sharpen any edge. Just use it as instructed. Use a smooth stroke for 5-6 times in one direction, then smooth stoke in the other direction. I have used it to sharpen shovels, blades, scissors,etc... It's been years since I've had a paper cutter. But if I remember correctly the blade is flat on the bottom and looses it's sharpness on that and the flat surface facing the board. Swipe the flat surface facing the cutting metal and the bottom surface, too. You will notice the difference immediately.

If you mean it will sharpen the groves, the answer is no. However, you can, with care sharpen the flat side and this should return the sharpness. I have eventually sharpened both edges as a favorite knife got dull and there isn't much left to the serrations. This is a knife that we have had over 50 years. This is the best sharpener for the price. We have the larger model also for about 14 years. Great products!

Yes it isn't razor sharp when you get it. You can sharpen it but it doesn't remain black.

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.

It has a suction cup base, you could mount it on your counter nearby and swipe it once or twice as needed, it definitely will sharpen them. It will shave a small amount of steel off each time.

I would like to know the answer to this question, too. The answer by Ms. Ledbetter doesn't do it. Does anyone know if this will sharpen santoku knives?

Yes, I believe it does. It doesn't switch over to black and white, you must select it on the drop down menu.

I didn't notice a black coating on the cutting edge. If it has one the sharpening process should remove it.

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.

Yes it does, but it is a weak light. I supplement it with a 110v Delta bendable light on the other side which really helps. You need to be able to see good when sharpening.

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

Yes, just be sure your shun is not a single sided edge. I have two shuns and it sharpens them beautifully.

We have never used it to sharpen our lawn mower blades. We only use it for knives. Sorry I could not be of more help
