does it sharpen surrated knives

absolutely! The Chef's Choice 1520 does a great job on most knifes. Use the honing wheels on your serrated knives, as per the instructions.

It does, as well as a rotating wheel can. I have found it best just to use the honing wheels to touch up my serrated edges. It will help, but it will not dress them like it will a plain blade. If you use the sharpening wheels it grinds on the high spots on the face of the serrations. Hope this helps.

it sharpened one of my newer scalloped edge knives, but i can't answer on the surrated ones. call the company directly and i'm sure they will answer that question.

Yes it does you will use the two far right slots you will need 8-10 swipes. What it does is puts a sharp edge on each of the senates I guess that is the word you would each serrate is sharpened you should just follow directions. The manual warns you to advise everyone you have sharpened knives because if done properly these knives are very sharp. Sharped my son's blades and warned everyone his wife still cut her finger

I have not attempted to sharpen it. I use it for cutting and scraping dough.

Absolutely. There are two ways to sharpen knives: One way is to use a sharpening steel - that just aligns the delicate edge that gets wavy through use back into a straight edge that feels like you've removed steel. The other way to sharpen is to remove metal and forge a new edge. That will have to be done every several years or so, depending on how much you use the knives and how often you are using the steel. Not using the steel with each use will definitely ruin the edge and will require you to sharpen(with a professional sharpener!) them a lot earlier. Hope that helps.

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

The sharpener is NOT for serrated knives. It works fine on all flat blade knives. It's not the best sharpener in the world, but good for the price.

This tool doesn't really sharp and despite what the description says the process that it performs is called honing. When you sharpen, like with a whetstone, it puts a sharp edge on it but the edge may be rough on certain edges or tip from one side to the other so the knife doesn't appear to be a sharp is actually is. This tool gets all the sharp edge facing the same direction so that the knife can cut much better it's not actually sharpened. You really need to use a whetstone every so often to sharpen and then use this almost every time you use the knife to keep it cutting its best.

It only will sharpen a fine (smooth) edge. The first side is for a dulled edge, and the second side is for a finished edge.

This is a pretty small knife sharpener. I use it to sharpen orchid shears. I would think you would want a little longer "stone" to sharpen knifes

No you have to sharpen one side each in a right and left slot. then hone it in a separate slot. It is really superior to whst I used to have on my electric can opener.

Personally I would by a different sharpener. I am NOT pleased with the unit that I bought. it does not do an adequate job of sharpening any knife.

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. I ordered separately a two-stage Wusthof sharpener that is rather inexpensive but works very well.

Manufacture claims "they never need sharpening" but they provide a sharpening rod. I would stand the rod on end with the tip on the counter. Then gently draw the knife blade down the rod at about a 20 degree angle for each side of the blade. See how that works for you. I am by no means an expert on this.

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 have sharpened small paring knives with it. It only leaves a small amount, maybe 1/2 inch or less, unsharpened. It is not really noticeable. This sharpener is a very nice one compared to many others I looked at.

No, it sharpens pretty quickly. It will continue to sharpen until you pull it out.
