Does this sharpener work for Santoku knives?

Yes, this sharpener will ruin your santoku. It is made for European/American knives, which are sharpened at a 20 degree angle. Wusthof does make a similar sharpener specifically for santoku knives.

I would say no bc the sharpeners are shaped differently. I think each are made to do their specific job! It seems like each are doing the same thing, but they are not! They accommodate each tool individually! I LOVE them! They work incredible well!! With a lifetime guarantee, you can't possibly go wrong!! Don't hesitate to purchase!!

It works for the Santoku knife that I have - I'm not sure what you might mean by Chinese knife. The large slots are pretty deep - my Santoku knife blade is probably about 2 inches wide, and it fits into this no problem.

Yes. You will need to buy the WSKTS Diamond Belt Kit. It fits both the original Knife sharpener and the Ken Onion edition. It is 1/2 inch in width instead of 3/4 inch but will work just fine. I have it and sharpen our ceramic knives.

It does but only works good on the bigger half moon serrated knife blades. You would probably be better off to buy the Blademedic Knife Sharpener by lansky.

It's a nice sharpener that will put damn sharp edges on a dull knife, but I either use the budget set I sharpened with this great gadget, or my Cutco. Sorry that I can't help.

This product works for all kitchen knives. My understanding is that the difference between this model and the others by Chef's Choice is the angle that it sharpens at. I believe that Wusthof uses a slightly different angle than other manufacturers, so this sharpener is designed to keep that edge angle intact. All this being said, I've used this sharpener on all types of knives, and it works well.

Yes and I purchased two. They are as good as any other sharpener on the market. They work for a short period of time, then the sharpening stone in the handle gets smoothed out and they are just about worthless. Run Forrest Run.

I have no exeprience using Shun knives; but I would probably steer clear of using this sharpener on one, mainly because the Shun's are expensive. I wouldn't want to run the risk of ruining a seemingly quality knife by running this across its blade. Honestly, though, I just don't know for certain.

It would work very well, and actually should be used for a Gyuto knife. Because the blade is thinner and stronger than most, the 15 degree angle of the Asian sharpener is perfect. If you've used any other sharpener, again it will take awhile to get the blade to a 15 degree angle. Be patient.

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.

I don't know for certain, but I doubt that it would work on any kind of scissors or shears.This sharpener is perfect for knives, but shears/scissors have a different shape entirely.

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, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.

Simple answer is no. Detailed answer is: santoku knives traditionally have a slightly different sharpening bevel requirement, due to different blade thickness and steels used in construction. Some new "santoku" knives only copy the basic blade outline, and could thus be sharpened to the same shoulder angle as a Western designed knife. So, you COULD sharpen to Western knife standards, but the results would not be as good as you would like. A 2nd issue it that this is the 2-stage sharpener - which only gives you honing in the 1st stage. I don't think it would work well for your santoku knives. Wikipedia has some helpful articles on santoku and kitchen knives, if you want more info.
