Can I use this to sharpen my Schrade SCHF10? Also, how long do these sharpeners last?

you can sharpen anything on these, but from my experience a curved blade like what you are sayn you got hopeing you only need a light touch up its ok i like to use a diamond rod or an easy sharp carbide sharpener to get the curve easyer, these things last just so long as you dont beat them up, such as excessive pressrue and such i love mine.

I use mine to sharpen chisels and plane irons ins the shop, but I see no reason why they wouldn't be great on knives also. I use a little water on the stone to keep it from clogging with iron filings, of course then I oil the tools well after sharpening to prevent rust. I've give mine hard daily use for 4 months and it shows no sign of ware. I have no idea how long it will last but it seems like a long time.

The Schf10 is made of 1095 high carbon steel so its edge will last longer due to the hardness. So yes I would rather make a few passes on a diamond sharpener as oppossed to dozens of passes on an oil stone. Both work. I like to finsh up the edge with oil stones. I've only had my DMT for a few months but it still takes off metal quikly. I imagine they will last a few years with moderate use.

Hi, I bought the sharpener and have used it on both Global and Wustholf knives to great success, best if you finish with the Wusthof steel afterwards.

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....

I have no idea though I have had one for some time. It's cheaper to buy a new one than conventional sharpening unless you can do it all yourself.

I have not had mine long enough to fully answer this question, though mine have had a lot of use. I absolutely love them, and see the price has dropped since I purchased them 2 months ago. I'd say if used properly, you will get a lot of use before having to sharpen them. Stainess will hold a good sharp edge for a long time.

Basically you can't sharpen them because they are the same hardness that sharpeners are. I just send mine back to Kyocera and they send me new knives for the sharpening price. Kyocera does now make a diamond sharpening machine for about $80 but conventional sharpeners will not work.

The sharpening blades do wear out and don't work as well over time. Reversing them is like getting a brand new sharpener.

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.

Yes and I purchased two. They are as good as any other sharpener on the market. They work for a short period of time, then the sharpening stone in the handle gets smoothed out and they are just about worthless. Run Forrest Run.

Same answer as W. M. Werich. It's a long lasting sharpener for $20. So far it has sharpened a lot of edges.

I have had mine for about three years and I'm sure the diamonds won't last forever. I did see on Amazon that they sell the replacement finger unit. I noticed that another person was not happy with his sharpener. I use it pretty regularly and think it does pretty good. Amazon has a Rada knife sharpener for about $5. To me the Rada does a great job very quickly.

I'm not sure because I haven't had to sharpen mine yet. I would think that they could be because like someone else said they aren't made out of something that is not out of the ordinary. They should last a while before they need to be sharpened.

I'm not really sure. I've had mine for about 8 months and they're still sharp. But i am going out on a limb and saying yes. But not a auto sharpener. I'd use a stone

Absolutely, I've found this to be one of the best survival/backpack/small sharpeners on the market today... Get some jewelers rouge for the strop-side to assist in BEYOND SHAVING SHARPNESS on any half decent blade. it will also help the leather last longer... I bought one for my toolbox shortly after I bought the first one for home...

So far I've had min for a few months, and I have used them a lot. Still nice and sharp, haven't had the need to sharpen it.

I used one for years before replacing it, for $10. seems worthwhile. If you really want to though, then the same way you'd sharpen most knives/scissors. or with a wet rock. go nuts.

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.
