Will it sharpen a 50 mm blade that appears unable to be removed from its shaft ?

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

There is a video on you tube by Hydra572 that shows one way to reprofile the blade. From the looks of his sharpening system it could be costly, but it works. Check and see if they are more video's, it could be a start to find your answer.

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.

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

No. Not without industrial quality sharpening tools that would damage the overall quality of the piece.

If this doesn't sharpen it nothing will ..... you can take the guard off and sharpen anything.

I don't think I would use it, I have only used it on straight knives, I use a diamond hone instead, or for that expensive of a knife it might pay to have it sharpened

I am not positive, but I doubt it. It uses a pair of stones the sharpen blades. That would likely remove the coating.

It's pretty sharp already! But, as long as you're not sharpening it on an electric grinding wheel and overheating it I don't see how you could hurt anything sharpening it. It seems like a very high quality blade.

I am not really sure, but thinking a little on the subject, I wonder if the serated blade might get hung up in the sharpening part? If that happened then you could not use it all? Just a thought????

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

Yes, it will. I have the same problems. It is very sharp, and requires only moderate strength.

Most likely not, it seems to be made out of quite good material. It will take a lot of sharpening though. The blade is really dull, to the point where its basically a flat surface.

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

I have a Ka-Bar, but have not attempted to sharpen it with this sharpener. I believe that it will.

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.
