Will this also sharpen metal knives and scissors?

I absolutely would not recommend it for that purpose. There are far easier ways to sharpen a metal knife; and scissors would be to thick for the sharpener.

Unfortunately, no. It is simply for ceramic knives. I have found that Kyocera knives sharpen well. Other,less expensive brands and "closeout" types, not so well. I imagine that kKyocera designed the honing discs to work optimally on their ceramic knife formulary.

Doubt it. The blade thickness is specifically determined on the sharpener for Kyocera knives - or similar thickness - as I have other ceramic knives that I was unable to sharpen because they were a tad bit thicker than the Kyocera's. The Kyocera's are fairly thin making the sharpener basically only for thin knives. Another thing to consider is that the Kyocera's are sharpened at a different angle than most blades so even if a different blade was able to fit, you'd probably be changing the geometry of that blade as well as making more passes to sharpen it as well. Scissors will definitely not fit though. Doubt it.

The Kyocera ad itself says YES to steel, stainless steel, titanium, and ceramic. But NO to scissors.

I hadn't tried it on scissors before, so I just took a pair of my scissors and it sharpened them razor sharpthanks fpr the heads up, just another use for this amazing sharpener

Yes - it has a specific part of the sharpener that pulls out to sharpen both left and right hand scissors - works very well. Garden tools as long as the balde will fit the dimensions of the motorized guards or the manual sharpeners - i use it for trimmers as well as kithcen knives. Hope this helps.

Not sure, but if it helps, I used it to sharpen my clippers, the straight razor blades may be too brittle

I do not know, because I don't own those type of knives. However, the instructions indicate that this sharpen can be used to sharpen this type of knife.

NO, because scissors are beveled at a different angle. The same company makes a very similar looking sharpener that is designed especially for scissors.

Yes it should. Please read the directions carefully. It will sharpen it nicely, but it will not be as sharp as a new blade.

Yes..just make sure you angle it right Its hard to sharpen the whole scissor blade

I would think it would. You may want to email the company and ask them . I use mine on all my scissors and knifes and so far it works very good. BUt I have just cheap scissors and knifes.

ill answer in two parts. firstly.. yes.. this kit CAN sharpen knives. secondly.. you don't want this kit because the plates bend, come unglued, and the material wears off. if you just want a quick cheap solution for a few knives go for it..otherwise, spend your money on something a bit more durable.

yes. i use it to sharpen axes and picks and it works fine. If you have a bunch blades to sharpen you will need extra battery.

Not at all. WE use it primarily to sharpen mower blades. Very nice product.

I have not tried scissors. but based on how well it works on knives I wouldn't try it. I wasted my money on it.

Yes it does, and does a very good job. It has a slot on the jig to run the scissors through. Very easy to sharpen scissors and all types of knives with this sharpener.

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.

Yes, this knife sharpener will sharpen ceramic knifes. It actually has two different sides, one for ceramic fine, and one for carbide coarse. I bought several for my kid's kitchen's also...I love mine!

No, it's a great sharpener for steel knives and scissors. Ceramic blades require a diamond stone and should be powered for best results. The other issue with ceramic knives is their tendency to crack or break off due to stress cracks formed by pressure and loose bits. I leave mine to be be done by the manufacturer or other professional. Steel knives, no problem, I do it myself with products such as this one.
