Can I use this item for my ceramic knives?

Shouldn't see why you couldn't. It's all wood and the ceramic knives won't be damaged. We love ours and load it with all of our favorites. Wish we'd gotten it sooner.

There is a place to sharpen ceramic stone knives. I don't have any, so I haven't used it,

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

I did not try any of my ceramic knifes on meat, because from what I know the blade can chip if it hits the bone. I prefer not to risk damaging the blade even with boneless chunks of meat. However meat itself is soft enough for ceramic knifes, so technically it can be used to cut it.

Actually, I wouldn't recommend that. The tips of my knives have already chipped. Just hand wash them and place them in a drawer.

I have not used it for those items. However, Sorby make attachments for knives and special grits for them and I see no reason it would not be great. My primarily us it on wood turning tools and I am very pleased.

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,

Should be fine. I don't own any ceramic knives, honestly. But I'd say if you took it nice and slow and didn't crank the belt speed all the way you should probably not have any problems. Also be careful with the lower grit belts as they take off a lot of material.

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.

The fine ceramic side will hone your blade. With that said, it does take a little steel off the knife so a steel is prefered. But if you are looking for ease of use the ceramic side should hone you knives nicely.

I don't have ceramic knives so can't answer that but it has done a good job on my metal knives. I have only used it once and realize now that I didn't use it long enough to get the knives as sharp as I wanted so I need to sharpen them again. My knives had not ever had a good sharp edge because all I had was a hand sharpener. I'm happy with my purchase.

I don't have any experience with ceramic cooktops but I don't see why not. Look online to see what kind of metals you can use on your stovetop. Stovetop manufacturer should tell you.

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.

No, ceramic blades require a professional setup. The vibration from a regular sharpener will shatter a ceramic blade.

You can have a ceramic knife sharpened but really only by a professional with previous experience. all the home ceramic sharpers ive seen really don't work well. I would google a local knife sharpener in your area.

I haven't personally used it for that, but I don't see why you couldn't. It is ceramic

you will be making a grave mistake if you try to pry anything with ceramic knifes. If you exert too much force it will snap, and you'll be purchasing a new one.....!
