Yes, I use it on my Ginsu Japanese steel knives and they are sharper than ever. I love this Smith's sharpener! Best thing I've bought in a long time.

I do believe you can do so, but must say I have not tried one myself. It will sharpen almost any edge you want, axe.s, lawn mower blades, scissors, gut-hook knives also. Hope this helps out..es

Yes, I do. I originally bought this to sharpen some of the Henckel knives I have, but used it on others that were not as expensive and it worked great!

Yes & no! It will change the degree of angle on your Shun knives but it will also sharpen them. Why not purchase an electric whetstone sharpener built specifically for the Shun knife?

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.

Good day David, The sharpener comes with a list of types of knives and their proper angle. Based on my experience, it has been very easy to identify our types of knives and the proper sharpening angle. It is much less complicated than it is led to believe. I am not a knife expert but all I can inform you is that we have used this sharpener several times since acquiring it and, with a bit of common sense, we have been entirely satisfied of the results even with odd angle blades. If you have high-end knives, you can check their manufacturer's website for more technical information. I hope that it answers some of your concerns about this unit.

Global blades have a rare honing to the blade. You should only sharpen global knives with this sharpener.

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 am not familiar with the product Global knives but what I do know is that the set that I have that it does sharpen German Steel knives both serrated and unserrated.

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

No, but it has a pull out manual carbide slot for manually sharpening serated knives. Works well.

The description on the package says it will sharpen all STRAIGHT edge "quality" knives.

Yes! It sharpened my serrated knives beautifully! I even sharpened the steak knives with it! Just don't put it in for very long... test by slicing a piece of paper... will tell you it's sharp enough. I love it! Easy to use and sharpens well!

It will sharpen those on the biggest setting. We had a few left over from my 2nd grade twins. We used to use a exacto knife to sharpen them so they didn't get sharpened much until we got this sharpener.
