Can these knives be sharpened with a Chef's Choice sharpener? Thanks!

Please do not keep these items in the same room with each other. It would be like buying the cheapest tires possible for your Ferrari - you might not like the result.

No. They need a 3000 grit shun stone. And you must sharpen it at a 16 degree angle

You can sharpen them however you want. That said, to protect the integrity of the knife you should stick to a traditional japanese whetstone and honing steel. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself Shun will sharpen them for free so long as you pay for shipping. Hope that helps!

It probably can (VG-10 steel is great), but you should look into purchasing a whet stone. I got a 1,000/6,000 from shun that works great.

I just spoke to a Chef's Choice rep about trading in my old (30 years?) 110 for a 120. She specifically mentioned santoku knives, saying that they can be sharpened in this machine ONLY if you use stage 3 without the other two stages.

I assume you can use any sharpener on this knife. I have a couple different types of sharpeners, and have had no issue with using them with this knife. The blad is not serrated, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes you can. The sloped edge of ceramic is the main sharpener for serrated knives. One can also use the diamond rod, if the serration needs a more aggressive approach.

I have a Chef's Choice 130 which is an excellent machine which includes three options: sharpening, honing and stropping. Unless you are a commercial user, you may not need to actually sharpen your "already dulled out" knife. You may only need to "Hone" the blade to realign the edge {remember, sharpening a blade does actually take a microscopic amount of the blade's steel off the knife}. A honing "steel" may resolve your dullness issue. Good Luck.

Have them sharpend at a machine shop or cutlery place,if true replacement is needed,your best option is having a shop make you a new set,its just carbon steel....

You cant sharpen these knives, Use them as directed. Don't use counter tops or other hard surfaces to cut, use a cutting board, wood or plastic, this will keep the edge longer. take care of them and they will last for a long time.. NO WAY TO SHARPEN BY THE OWNER

They are really sharp to start out with and they last a pretty long while. I'm not sure if they can be sharpened, although if they can't be sharpened I'm sure anyone could just replace the blades on then with new ones. I love these knives. Hope that helped in some way or another.

These knives do not come with a sharpener. We recommend that these knives be handwashed and dried only.

No. As far as I know ceramic knives can't be sharpened, they have to be replaced.

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

Of course, they are just steel knives with a colorful coating. Anywhere that the sharpening stones contact the blade the coating will be removed, so one should be careful to sharpen properly.

Yes they can be sharpened and honed like any other knife with a carbon steel blade.

I'm sure it could be sharpened that way. However, this knife has a very precise edge on it and you would want it sharpened by a professional that has the ability to match that specific edge. Me; I would take it to a pro. And I kept my knives sharp for years when I worked in professional kitchens.

Sprry for the delay in responding . I spoke with my daughter this morning and she said they can be sharpened several times - it will depend on how dull they are and who is doing the sharpening. There are several sharpeners out there but their work is not equal in how they sharpen blades or scissors. My daughter grooms dogs every day.

I don't know. I gave them as a gift. I have another brand that I use daily and haven't had to sharpen them yet.

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.
