Does this sharpener work well with pairing knives?

I bought the sharpener at the same time as I bought the steel. The steel does such a great job of tuning up the cutting edges that I haven't had to use the sharpener much. I sharpened a couple of small paring knives with it as well as an 8" butcher knife and it worked very well. Make sure you have a good steel like the wusthof 12" and you won't need the sharpener very often.

Yes ...it is a very nice manual sharpener ...actuaLy smaller blades are easier to control...

Yea, it works so well that mine got stolen...Just don't swipe it on the course side too much. With approximately 5lbs of pressure on your knife swipe it 3 times on the course and 6 times on the ceramic and you're good. Now, to keep it scary sharp use a honing steal on your knife before each use and your set. I cook for a living so sorry if I elaborated too much.

We've used it for all our knives, including pairing knives. This is the best we've found for my wife who has arthritis in both her hands, she can easily use it. Would buy this again.

kjm said the directions say it will work on serrated edge knives. Is there any kind of a guarantee if the sharpener ruins it?

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.

Absolutely. I have 5 Global knives and this sharpener has returned them to their new razor-like sharpness.

I use it with my Global knife and it works great for honing every other time I use the knife... and I am chopping or prepping with the knives almost every day. my 2 cents...

I really like this sharpener. It does sharpen fast. I haven't had any issues with it. =)

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

No, it is good to keep your kitchen knives sharp but to small for machetes and axes. I wanted it for skinning knives because I don't like to take the time to sharpen a knife with a wet stone. It won't get a spinner sharp enough. I did see on sharpener advertised for what you want on Amazon however.

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

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.

No, it will put the wrong angle on the knife. Also, Shun offers free sharpening for their knives, you just need to pay S&H.; Honestly, I would just do that. http://shun.kaiusaltd.com/warranty

The question you should ask is will it sharpen it correctly and with the desired result. Yes on both accounts. Like most tools, the more you use the quicker it is.

I use it on my henckels and it works great. Just Google "knife sharpening with a whetstone". YouTube also has a lot of videos that will help you on " HOW TO". Just search same as google. (Coarse is always used first).

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.

I don't believe it matters what brand knife you own. I have several brands of knifes and it works better than any of the other two sharpeners I have owned. It's a winner, unlike the Cubs.
