Can this be used to sharpen ceramic knives?

No. As far as I know ceramic knives can't be sharpened, they have to be replaced.

I do not have ceramic knives, so I really don't know. BUT diamond is the hardest substance, I would think yes, but you should contact the manufacture of you knife to find out for sure.

No - the instruction manual specifically indicates that ceramic knives are NOT RECOMMENDED to be sharpened in this model

NO!! And this tool comes with a "how-to" pamphlet. Always use a sawing motion for sharpening knives. This works good on pocket knifes also.

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

Yes, I use the AccuSharp Knife Sharpener, AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener , which works very well then I hone it with a ceramic rod, Smith's 50002 9-Inch Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod

I would not recommend this! Most ceramic knives are zirconium dioxide, which is a very hard material. Unfortunately the product does not specify what carbide the course blade is, but the cheapest carbides fall above zirconium dioxide in hardness, so I'm guessing the coarse side would work for you. But the fine side with the ceramic inserts is almost assuredly zirconium dioxide as well, so you will be scratching both the knife and the sharpener, making the sharpener nearly useless pretty quickly on the one side. That said, as long as you stay with the course side and are careful, you could still make a ceramic knife sharper.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

I don't see why not. I use it to sharpen all kinds of things. Just keep in mind it is a small tool. The sharpening part is 3/4 inch in length.

I have not tried to sharpen any ceramic knives and don't know if the reviewer is correct. If this is true my guess would be that the ceramic is as hard or harder than the grinding wheels in the sharpener. In most cases ceramic is very hard but brittle that's why ceramic holds an edge longer than steel but breaks or chips if side force is applied.

We use a ceramic knife sharpener. They do get dull but carry a pretty good edge. I would recommend these to you. My wife loves them.

Should be fine. I don't own any ceramic knives, honestly. But I'd say if you took it nice and slow and didn't crank the belt speed all the way you should probably not have any problems. Also be careful with the lower grit belts as they take off a lot of material.

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.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I don't have any ceramic knives. My best guess would be Yes.

I honestly don't know. I haven't really came across dull scissors. I know the Ceramic edge is to sharpen, and the Carbide is to set new ones. I don't know if will work on scissors though. I would recommend calling the manufacturer or try Smiths-JIFF-S-10-Second-Scissors-Sharpener in Amazon which is also made by Smith.

no. only way is send the knife to a company that sharpens "CERAMIC" knives.

Right off the top, I would say no. But I have never tried it. I use mine to sharpen all my planner blades and it does a very good job. I keep my blades razor sharp. I have a small belt type sharpener that I use for my hedge blades.

no grooves, they're not needed when using a ceramic sharpener. this thing is a beauty: it can be used to sharpen serrated knives, such asbread knives, or slicers. on conventional knives, just use it as you would a conventional steel with grooves.

No. Not without industrial quality sharpening tools that would damage the overall quality of the piece.

I can't say if it will sharpen ceramic knives, I don't own any ceramic knives, but I can tell you that I thought this sharpener is an inferior product. I believe I am qualified to say that because I am a retired furniture maker for 46 years.
