Does it scratch knife surfaces?

If by scratch, do you mean does it remove knife material on the cutting edge, yes. It uses diamond wheels. So, when I have sharpened mine using the sharpener, it does remove material along the cutting edge and may appear to "scratch" it along that edge. If you get the bolster in too deep, and drag it through the cutting wheels, specifically, number 1 and 2, it will scratch or remove material.Having said that, it is a FANTASTIC sharpener and I would not use anything else on my Wusthofs.

The machine is made for Wusthof products; I've used it on other German made steel from the 60's with no problems. I have used on current knives,Chicago Steel, etc. and it does an OK job. As for scratching never noticed any, it really works great with their products, and ok with others,It's the Wusthof edge, it sharpens to. But never observed scratch on any cutlery

Yes, this sharpener scratched both sides of my Ikons with each pass. I returned the sharpener.

I know what your saying about the scratches. I'm not sure. Sorry. There probably is a plastic knife, I would think.

A magnetic bar can scratch your knife, if you want to keep the finish. If u use a magnetic bar, be careful and slightly twist the knife away from the edge when removing.

I purchased this roasting pan as a gift, so I cannot answer your question directly. However, if you use a wooden spoon or wooden spatula, it should not scratch the pan.

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

I suppose if you were determined to do so you could, but normal/average use with steak knives is fine. We have used steak knives with ours many times and so far no scratches.

Yes.It claims it does...it rubs on the way down..perhaps that is when it sharpens. I have used this cutter many times and it is very rugged and stays sharp. It is like the ones you grow up with in school..rugged..

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

with just light scratches that no doubt will come with everyday use it should be no problem. I have used my with metal and plastic utensils and do have very light scratches. would think the scratch has to be pretty deep to expose the core.

I'm guessing it depends on the type of grill you have. If it's stainless steel, it won't scratch but keeping a stainless steel grill "like new" is almost an impossibility. We have an older Weber 3000, so we weren't so concerned with scratching a new stainless grill pair we purchased.

No. Not at all. In fact it's really easy to clean. Even a wet cloth does it. I have a metal textured bowl that sits on top and I've moved it back and forth. Not a scratch.

It would scratch if you took a very sharp knife and with all your strength drag it across the board ! Other than that,no you couldn't scratch it !

Hi, Amna - I've only used it in stainless steel pots, so I can't promise it won't scratch non-stick pots. I love it though. I bought one for all my friends and they rave about it too. J....

Mine currently does not have one. I've had it without one for about two weeks. Still no scratches (knock on wood). I'm extra particular about not putting it in a pocket with anything else. Keys, pocket knife, etc. go in the opposite pocket. If you lay it face down on a table it won't scratch, or, at least, mine hasn't.

Yes. U do have to be careful to use coated or wooden utensils so it won't scratch. It is easy to clean.

Nope. I used a no-stick skillet and it just sits there. Now if you pressed down on the insert and dragged it around the surface of the pan, I suppose it could cause scratches.
