does it sharpen many kinds of knives?

Yes, it does. I have used it to sharpen serrated and non-serrated blades and it does an equally good job with both.

Yes, just don't try to sharpen scissors! I misread the directions the first time.... Now I have to send my kitchen shears back to the manufacture to be retooled. But, this works like an absolute dream on all my other knives!

I use it for two sizes of chefs' knives, two sizes of paring knives, a boning knife and a slicer. I also hone but do not sharpen a bread knife on it. Ken W.

Yes !!! I've only had it for about three weeks .. But works pretty good in my opinion.. I've used it for steak knives and works fine.. Can't beat the price.. It has a sharpener on one side, for coarse knifes and on the other side for fine knifes.. Good luck if you decide to buy.. I would recommend it !!!!!

I really can't answer that question because I'm not familiar with that type of Knife... Sorry! As for just your everyday sharpening of regular knives I must say that it's just O.K., I do better with my hand held sharpener!

Yes it does, and does a very good job. It has a slot on the jig to run the scissors through. Very easy to sharpen scissors and all types of knives with this sharpener.

I am very pleased with this sharpener but I use it for sharpening larger carving knives. I believe I could sharpen smaller/shorter blades but more care may be needed. It sharpens very well and I think you will find it a neat addition to your kitchen.

Yes, it does. We do it often. It is a little trickier because the clamp can slip a little due to the heavy thickness of the blade. We use it often and have knives that are very sharp. I could go on and on with how happy I am with this knife sharpening system.

This sharpener uses 3 rotating wheels ranging from coarse to fine, although the wheels are most likely man made rather than real whetstones. It works well for ordinary kitchen knives, but if you have expensive knives you would probably want to hone them with proper whetstones.

No - and if you have a really good Japanese knife of any kinds, this is a poor sharpener when compared with a more complete sharpening system. I use an EdgePro. It takes more time to set up but a properly sharpened and cared-for Shun or Global knife should not require sharpening more than three or four times a year.

This sharpener has three spinning grinding wheels. The one on the far left by itself is a coarse wheel which will remove alot of metal to put the right angle on the blade. The wheel in the center is a finer grit wheel which is used after the coarse wheel puts the angle on the blade. This finer wheel will make the knife sharp. The final wheel on the far right is a ceramic wheel which will put very sharp edge on the blade. Once you have done the 3 step process you can then just occasionally touch up the edge of your blade with the ceramic wheel, as long as you havent been abusing the cutting edge. All of the spinning wheels are dry, no water is used for this sharpener. Very nice sharpener for the price, I would buy it again if I needed to.

I have sharpened a partially serrated pocket knife on this sharpener however I have found that it really does not do a good job on any serrated knife.

Do not use it on shun knives because they are ground to a different angle than most knife sharpeners. Shun does make an electric sharpener designed specifically for Shun knives. I have it and it works very well on my set of Shun knives. I am a cheff and can not tolerate knives that are sharp.

No. I ordered separately a two-stage Wusthof sharpener that is rather inexpensive but works very well.

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.

It will sharpen one side if a serrated knife which works perfectly fine however it will not sharpen in the small serrated grooves. If you follow the instructions that it provides on sharpening the serrated knives then it does a good job. It is a very nice product. I hope this heps.
