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!

Wished I could help you here but I've only sharpened high carbon or high carbon stainless steel blades. Sorry.

Yes one side is for ceramic and I also use that side for my thin blade paring knives. I have bought three of these. Of all the knife sharpeners I bought over the years, love this one the best. My son owns a bar and grill and I bought him one. They misplaced it and had to get him another. I see they have one for scissors too. Going to get that next time I place an order.

I don't use a ceramic sharpener for this steel. I find if you don't have a stone, a diamond rod sharpener followed by a strop gets this knife silly sharp. It's carbon steel so the diamond rod sharpeners' abrasive surface works well. Stropping helps this knife stay polished and shiny, as well. This is by far one of the sharpest knives I've ever come across. For ~$14, how can you go wrong?

I think so, because it worked on all my knives, I don't know if there is any other types my knives are ceramic I just checked it now to be sure. I recommend this product it is good

I never put any knives in the dishwasher because it is not good for them. I had a father who was a butcher and he always lectured me on this. I can not say if it is different for ceramic knives. Sorry.

I use it primarily for honing and keeping the edge sharp. If my knife is really dull and I cannot get a sharp smooth edge with the ceramic rod then I use a stone to redefine the edge. I have found that using the ceramic rod after every two or three uses then I seldom have to use the stone.

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.

Yes !!! I've only had it for about three weeks .. But works pretty good in my opinion.. I've used it for steak knives and works fine.. Can't beat the price.. It has a sharpener on one side, for coarse knifes and on the other side for fine knifes.. Good luck if you decide to buy.. I would recommend it !!!!!

no grooves, they're not needed when using a ceramic sharpener. this thing is a beauty: it can be used to sharpen serrated knives, such as bread knives, or slicers. on conventional knives, just use it as you would a conventional steel with grooves.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.

I do not have ceramic knives, so I really don't know. BUT diamond is the hardest substance, I would think yes, but you should contact the manufacture of you knife to find out for sure.

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

Ceramic is harder than steel. With a steel rod you don't really sharpen, you hone the edge of your blade and realign in. If you are not removing steel (no matter how little) you are not sharpening your knife. Ceramic rods will sharpen your knife. If your knife is well maintained, professionally sharpened once or twice a year dependong on how much you use it, then a few light passes on each side of a ceramic rod will have you sliding through tomatoes like butter. Be careful. Ceramic rods will break if you drop them.

Hi-Would you please clarify your comment? Are you saying you can use the ceramic side on a serrated knife, but not the steel, coarse side? Do you happen to know what you need to sharpen a serrated knife?Thanks,

Yes, it is small enough and sharp - not pointy. Ceramic knives would not be good to use on bones - they break and dull easily if used on hard objects. On the other hand, they are wonderful to use to slice vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. I especially love the larger one. It is my favorite. Hope this helps.

I have not tried to sharpen any ceramic knives and don't know if the reviewer is correct. If this is true my guess would be that the ceramic is as hard or harder than the grinding wheels in the sharpener. In most cases ceramic is very hard but brittle that's why ceramic holds an edge longer than steel but breaks or chips if side force is applied.

This works on all my stainless and high carbon knives and machetes. The ceramic side provides a super sharp edge, once you get it close with the carbide. The only thing I do that gets it sharper is the leather barber's strop with Turtle Wax rubbing compound.

yes that's correct the ceramic knife if used correctly should stay sharp for a long period of time one of the best features of the ceramic knife!
