Hi, I have a gerber bear grylls ultimate pro knife, the sharpener on my sheath sucks, can this sharpener get my knife shaving sharp?

Maybe...I have knives sharpened with diamond stones that I get to "razor" sharp but at a narrow angle. This sharpener gets my work knives sharp, but I don't consider them razor sharp. The angle is wider, but that makes the edge last longer. If your knife is really hard steel, it takes longer to sharpen and the possibility for a razor edge would come only from the ceramic rods and that could take a while.

Absolutely. I bought an electric sharpener when I bought this knife and have used it a couple of times since and it keeps it razor sharp.

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.

The question you should ask is will it sharpen it correctly and with the desired result. Yes on both accounts. Like most tools, the more you use the quicker it is.

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

I am not sure how wide your knife is. However, if it will fit in the sharpener I guarantee it will do the job.

Probably would be a safe bet. I haven't had it for long but it seems to work well for the kitchen knifes. My stone gets my pocket and hunting knifes sharper. This sharpener takes less work tho.

Yes. It uses a different angle than smooth edge blades so make sure when you use a steel to use the correct angle (I think it's 20 degrees but I may be mistaken). I used a standard knife sharpener on it and it dulled the knife. If you use a sharpener makes sure it's designed to work with these kinds of blades. And when you get all this right be careful.. these knives are S H A R P.

As soon as it doesn't seem to cut as well. PLEASE, get yourself a sharpening steel......what the chefs use. Works GREAT with just a few swipes! And PLEASE DO NOT PUT A GOOD KNIFE INT HE DISHWASHER!!!!!

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

I don't think you can sharpen the blade. I think it would need replacement if you were to dull the blade. I've cleaned over four hundred fish on my original blade and still goinig. I will never use anything else!!!

I have my Tormek set-up to sharpen cutlery. After I mount the blade in the clamp device, no more than two minutes, if that. If all the edge needs is a touch up, a minute. Then I steel it and it's done.

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 The sheath dose but It is not great so I bought the smith pocket sharpener.

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.

I would not recommend using a kitchen knife sharpener on a 1" blade. The blade would not be long enough to get a consistent sharp edge.

I have found the knife sharpener helpful and easy to use. However, it is not going to turn dull knives into sharp knives. If they are really dull you should get them sharpened first and use to maintain blade. I think that Global knives are very expensive knives. Hope this helped.
