Is this used to sharpen the stones that sharpen the knives? I believe that's what a sharpening stone sharpener should do.

It can be used as part of that process, but you will still need a file or stone for the very tip. This sharpener works amazingly well, and can take off a visible amount of blade, so sliding it toward the tip from the handle and following thru until the sharpener is off the blade can dramatically reshape the tip.

I don't think this is the right tool for that job. Use a wet stone grinder or something made to remove metal, then use this to finish honing the blade, for which it works very nicely.

I would not recommend it. I'm not sure if it would do good or harm to the knife. They recommend these sharpeners for knives made in Japan, with a certain blade angle. I think you would be safe just going with a normal knive sharpener for this.

No it only sharpens the blades that come with it... that is why I returned it.

I don't see why this sharpener wouldn't work for other knives also. It simply consists of 3 ceramic grinding wheels of different grit. Global is a company which produces knives.

The Nagura stone is to be used to create a "Cream" on the top of the 6000 and above stones. This cream is what sharpens your blade. To flatten your sharpening stones you will use a "Flattening Stone" that is made to flatten a sharpening stone. Just google "Flattening Stone" and you will see the differance in them.

Ya know I'm not really sure enough to answer your question. But I do know that this is a very efficient knife sharpener when you're needing a quick fix. I had it with me while out on a trail and it sharpened my knife beautifully.

I use it more or less to polish the edge. So to answer your question I would use it after the 1000 grit super fine stone. If I am not mistaken is about 2000 grit and is not used to sharpen at all just to give the edge a polished look.

Yes this will actually sharpen your knife - start with the coarsest wheel .....light pressure and be sure to put water in it.

It is an ultra fine sharpening stone that is often used with Spyderco's sharpmaker sharpening kit. I bought one when I could afford it, and bought the second one to have a pair to go with the kits included 4 "sticks" (called sharpening stones). When I only had one, I would simply flip the stone over to the other side of the kit to sharpen the second face of my tools. Watch the youtube on the sharp maker and it will make sense in about 30 seconds use.

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.

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?

Your question prompted me to try sharpening a couple bread knives and they did sharpen up. This iis a powerful sharpener and you have to be cateful with rhe sharpened knives afterwards.

Sorry, but I haven't used it for anything but turning chisels. It does a great job on a gouge, so I would assume it would work well on knives. I would think unless you have a very dull knife, the finer grits would be better for maintenance.

Maybe...I have knives sharpened with diamond stones that I get to "razor" sharp but at a narrow angle. This sharpener gets my work knives sharp, but I don't consider them razor sharp. The angle is wider, but that makes the edge last longer. If your knife is really hard steel, it takes longer to sharpen and the possibility for a razor edge would come only from the ceramic rods and that could take a while.

I use it for sharpening only. I hone blades on a stone. This is not diamond coated.
