How thick of a blade can run through this? I have a schrade schf9 with 1/4 inch that doesn't fit my other pull through sharpeners.

I don't know! Most of the blase I sharpened were 1/8" or so. I would have to find a 1/4" and try it. My thought is that has to be a substantial blade and you would meed to find a larger version.

No I can't. It is a stard blade for the exactly handle. Why ask for the thickness of the blade?

Unsure but know that it will sharpen a blade 1/8 inch thick. And it does a VERY good job! I like this product.

I take the back part of the slicer off (the section used to adjust thickness). I then take a pull through kitchen knife sharpener and use the base of the machine to stabilize it. Turn it on and let the move the sharpener closer to the blade until it starts to grind. You can repeat the process if you have coarse and fine sharpeners. Alternatively, they do make sharpeners for these which are basically a pull through sharpener shaped like a pen that will fit between the depth gauge and still be able to contact the blade. I didn't waste my money on that because I already have the other type of sharpener.

I bought the Schrade 690T old timer knife. Maybe if you look that one up you can tell by the dimensions.

The blade thickness is 0.10 inch. Please consider This That & WhatNots for your future purchases!!

it needs to be at least 1/2in thick but can be as thick as you want it to be. You can use other screws than the ones it comes with to accomidate the surfact your using. This is a great sturdy sharpener. The same as the ones used at the schools.

The blade is 3/16" thick. I don't know how to measure the tang, as it is not a conventional tang. LOL! One solid piece of 1085 carbon steel, don't think you have to worry about breaking it under normal use. Very nice knife.

I have never measured blade thickness but it is close to 1/32". Flexing of the blade shouldn't be a problem since it is designed to cut on the pull stroke. I have enjoyed using mine. It leaves a much smoother cut edge than traditional push stroke saws (even the Gentleman's Dovetail saw). Hope this helps.

I know they make different sizes for this sharpener but you have to get them from the makers direct or brand specific. Hope this helps.

Hey Dan, The Komachi's ship with the blade sharpen to percise, very thin measure's. Funny thing that I've experienced is if I use a different sharpener, it never works as good as the one I used originally. I'll go back to the original and I've got a shrp blade again. So I would imagin that if that was the only sharpener you use it would work, but I would use it very delicate. Another fit and very inexpensive sharpener that will work is the Rada Knives sharpener.

I didn't check it personally, but the factory dimensions claim a .25" (1/4) blade thickness. That seems about right.

Small length blades are not going full length contact with the sharpener components due to the housing. It will not work on serrated blades.

The thickness at the spine of the blade and for about 1/3 width of the blade is 1/4"

8" diameter 3/4" thick. Too much work? It takes about two passes on each side of the blade on each wheel to put a razor sharp edge on a knife. Takes about 30 seconds! I run a full time taxidermy shop, there are NO OTHER sharpeners in the shop since I bought my wheels about 8 years ago.

I have a Cold Steel Master Hunter, USA with a fixed 4 1/2" blade. Putting the clamp holder in the middle of the blade, it works fine . I also have a S&W; survival knife, old school from the 70's. Quite a bit longer...probably 6" and again, holder in the middle and it's works fine. Much beyond that, and the 'attack' angle gets weird for the holder and rods. Long kitchen knives for example, are problematic for this system. I've gone to the WorkSharp system for those, but you lose a lot of metal each time you sharpen.

Thick enough for any normal knife, and machete, but nothing wider. VERY good unit, by the way. Best electric I have used, especially if you follow up with a steel.
