I ruined my knife. Cutting edge looks bent? no longer sharp. what did I do wrong? did I put it too far into the sharpening space-- It got stuck twice.tx

I have no idea what would have caused it to get "Stuck" the wheels should stop turning long before the knife would stick. All you are really needing to do is guide the knife edge along the turning stone in a gentle slow manner. I use mine in a restaurant environment and while it doesn't quite give the "new" edge, It does a pretty good job.

Must move as soon as you put it in sharpener must be pulling the knife quickly with only the weight of the knife pushing against grinding stones

Hey I just bought this, both edges are sharp. Broad angles, but very very sharp. And for the people saying "Not very sharp" - Take the knife, press down on a finger tip, and slide. $30 says the cut doesn't heal for 2 weeks it's so deep.

If it is not serrated, I imagine you could sharpen it, but why? It is already very sharp,cuts any veggie. Mine has not lost any sharpness. If you do sharpen it, take care!

I don't know. I haven't had any problems with mine. Have you gone online to Sharp website? These companies usually have contact information. What's happening with yours?Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.

What can I do, I already complained that my sheath doesn't fit properly with the knife but I got no responce. I love the knife but I haven't been able to carry it while camping, way too dangerous without a proper sheath

I did a quick touch up to mine and it seems if you follow the curves with your re sharpening it should stay its shape. Also remember they have a free sharpening service at Kershaw only paying for shipping there.

Also try a different blade. I only use blades in my unit and never had any problems.

Paul, Admittedly the knife was machined blade to 'spring' to tightly - mine is tight also. I could/can open mine even with mild arthritis in my thumb. I would use a small drop of WD 40 on each blade joint and work it a number of times, it should loosen.

I collect a lot of knives. Currently, this knife is stored away. I believe it is a liner lock. If you look into the blade compartment you should see a flat piece of metal, along the blade "liner" that locks the blade in place. You should be able to push this liner away from the blade to release the blade allowing it to close. Try that and let me know if it works.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

be careful. I sharpened mine with pocket sharpener and it scratched the blade coating of the side of the blade because the blade is so thick. the blade coating is not durable at all

Are you talking about the side of the knife, as opposed to the actual edge itself ? If so, I have noticed a scratch on two of my knives: it is a line that follows the curve of the edge, about 3/8 to 1/2 inch above the edge, on the right side if the blade, looking at it from the top as you hold the knife in your right hand. I'm guessing that one of the sharpening wheels is not exactly aligned. Until you asked this question, I had not noticed. That I did not notice is due to the fact that I occasionally clean my knives with a yellow/green abrasive sponge, so the sides are mildly scratched anyway. I only use this device if the blade has gotten pretty dull, which in my household is so rare that of my 20+ knives, I've only used it on the two aforementioned knives. ( it's rare because I steel my knives everyday, always cut on wood, and once per month I "steel" them on a ceramic rod. The dullness that I mentioned came from friends "helping" me in the kitchen, and using the knives on a porcelain plate. I just about dropped dead ! Ha ! ). The 464 certainly worked to put the edge back on, but it is rough on the blades. After using the 464, I then used a polishing steel to smooth out the actual edge itself. But, I'm afraid the scratching is inevitable. The only solution that I know is to find the guy in town who professionally sharpens the local restaurant knives. I found this person in San Antonio, and he can put a fabulous edge on the knife, and buff the sides if you want. He charges about $1.00 per inch ( so my 8 inch chef''s knife cost me about $8.00. Hope this helps, and good luck. Bill

It has happened, the remedy for me is to twist the blade in the unfinished cut. Sometime I don,t open the blade completely and it will not ratchet for me. This is a tool that does not work properly unless you coax it. I personally would not buy from the maker in the future. Great idea, poor design (my opinion)

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

IMO, if any parts are missing on delivery, your knife is defective. I suggest that you call the seller and see if you can return it for exchange it or refund or call S & W and see what they might do for you as their products have a great reputation and I doubt they want unhappy customers. Good luck.

I purchased a set of Rachael Ray 4-inch Paring "Furi Knives" and the green knife broke at the shank. It was purchased 4 months ago only! I'm so disappointed. What I should do? Thank you, Amanda
