Yes, check out some of the videos on youtube and on spyderco's wedsite - http://www.spyderco.com/edge-u-cation/video.php

Yes, folding knives and fixed blade knives sharpen the same way. Just make sure to watch Sal's video or jdavis82's video on YouTube before attempting to sharpen your valued knives.

Yes you can. Remember all the negative feed back is because you have to spend days on the grey/med stones. People buy this thing because they have dull knives. Someone even said they had a half descent sharp knife and it made it worse. Remember to buy the diamond stones, it will wear away material a lot faster. If you have any other questions hit me up.

I would say no. The blades have to be perfect and with special sharpening equipment you would not keep them perfect.

Yes, this sharpener also works with other thin bladed knives. Thicker forged knives also work, but not easily.

No, the shape of the blade is wrong. You need a rod-shaped sharpener or a steel.

No, the manufacturer makes it clear that it is only for sharpening knives (which it does superbly).

We have never used it to sharpen our lawn mower blades. We only use it for knives. Sorry I could not be of more help

It will sharpen most any straight edge knife. I use it on kitchen, pocket, and hunting knives. It works great.

Yes this will actually sharpen your knife - start with the coarsest wheel .....light pressure and be sure to put water in it.

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

It doesnt sharpen, it just brings the blade bach to its "true" so the blade will be sharper than it was but if your knives need sharpening the stone is best.

I do not believe it can be sharpened. However, the cutting blade can be replaced, because I've had that done.

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

Personally I would by a different sharpener. I am NOT pleased with the unit that I bought. it does not do an adequate job of sharpening any knife.

Yes. Small or large sized blades, the two grits on this stone can take literally any straight edged blade you choose to sharpen. Use the fine grit to hone the edge slightly or put the finishing touches on the blade. Use the courser grit to repair nicks and prepare the edge for the finer grit polishing stage. I have used it for my Swiss Army 2" packet knife and the stone does the job.

Yes it should. Please read the directions carefully. It will sharpen it nicely, but it will not be as sharp as a new blade.

I haven't found a knife that it doesn't sharpen. I actually have had knifes made for me that I sharpen on mine.Besides that you have 30 days to return it if it doesn't work the way you want it! STEW

Yes, but a regular flat sharpening stone will do a better job. This tool is really designed for pocket knives and fixed blade hunting knives where the included angle is 30 and 40 degrees.
