can this be used to sharpen knives

No, absolutely not..this is for applying final polishing finish to wood. Polishes like a mirror, but it's too gentle for knives..
1868642
No. the abrasive is not good for steel or very hard surfaces, plastics, wood or soft metals like aluminium or copper will do fine.

I wouldn't have thought so (I could be wrong) but it will bring them up to a nice shine!

here's the thing--you can "sharpen" with basically anything abrasive that's harder than the steel you're sharpening. Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide abrasives won't work as well on "super steels" (e.g. CPM S30V, which contain vanadium carbides, pretty hard stuff that really only cuts quickly on diamond or cubic boron nitride) but unless you're going for a mirror polish anything harder than steel will work just fine. The soft backing on micro mesh is great for some applications, and it could give you an interesting 'convex' shape (like using a buffing wheel or belt grinder) if you really work on your technique, but I think you'll find that something like 3M (or other brand) lapping 'films' work much better for maintaining a consistent angle. Sandpaper can work in a pinch, but it loads too much to use dry and it's pretty messy when wet, I'd recommend the "film" sheets over paper if you're serious about starting a real sharpening routine.

you can, but i would not recommend it, this is designed for pastry and other baking needs; you will dull and ruin your knives very quickly if you decide to use this to cut veggies and meat;

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

Should be no problem.I sharpen serrated knives all the time.I assume you mean knife height is 1.5 inches,if so will do a great job.

Yes it can be sharpened. I just make a few swipes on my fine steel between uses and its razor sharp. The blade is very thin so its great for fine thin slicing which is what I use it for.

I doubt it. I would not try it. My lawn mower blades are too thick for proper insertion. Best to have this done at lawn mower repair shop and use the sharpener for knives.

For a razor blade, yes. I've used it to sharpen the blades of my broadheads which are just like a razor blade.

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 do not know, because I don't own those type of knives. However, the instructions indicate that this sharpen can be used to sharpen this type of knife.

This sharpener uses 3 rotating wheels ranging from coarse to fine, although the wheels are most likely man made rather than real whetstones. It works well for ordinary kitchen knives, but if you have expensive knives you would probably want to hone them with proper whetstones.

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

YES! Use the Wusthof Asian-style sharpener. It does an excellent job. It has both a coarse and fine set of ceramic sharpening stones set at the proper angle for this blade. I have had this knife for quite a while and still love it.

I can't say if it will sharpen ceramic knives, I don't own any ceramic knives, but I can tell you that I thought this sharpener is an inferior product. I believe I am qualified to say that because I am a retired furniture maker for 46 years.

I would not recommend it for that. I'm a sushi chef and I sharpen 8 to 12 inch knives on it. That is about the maximum size knife that you can comfortably sharpen on this stone.

Yes, I do. I originally bought this to sharpen some of the Henckel knives I have, but used it on others that were not as expensive and it worked great!

Depending on the size of the knife I would say yes. A pen knife might be too small.It will get you by in a pinch but a flat stone or a true "knife sharpener" will serve you better if you want a really sharp edge.

Not sure, but if it helps, I used it to sharpen my clippers, the straight razor blades may be too brittle
