Will the WSKS-KO sharpen a ceramic kitchen knife ?

Yes. You will need to buy the WSKTS Diamond Belt Kit. It fits both the original Knife sharpener and the Ken Onion edition. It is 1/2 inch in width instead of 3/4 inch but will work just fine. I have it and sharpen our ceramic knives.

Probably not since the belts are set up for steel. I'm pretty sure the ceramic would be too brittle and would chip.

I believe it will you just need to buy the proper belts for a ceramic blade

It might work for ceramic blades in the right and left hone modes but I would call the Customer Service Dept at the Edgecraft Corporation for advice at 1-800-342-3255 before attempting this. To my knowledge ceramic knife companies state that the knives must be returned to them for resharpening. In my experience with ceramic knives is that the blade will get seriously chipped and is then ruined and not worth resharpening.

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

Hi. I don't know for sure. All I can say is that I have stainless steel kitchen knives and the sharpener works great on them. Just a few swipes through the sharpener and the previously dull knife will slice a tomato with ease. Whether the knives are made of s30v steel, I have no idea. Wish i could be more help. :)

Yes, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.

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

no. only way is send the knife to a company that sharpens "CERAMIC" knives.

So long as its not a serrated edge, it should. Straight edges only for this sharpener.

It's not recommended. Officially, ceramic knives must be sent back to their producer to be sharpened at the factory. Fortunately, this service is typically cheap or even free.

A ceramic sharpener, or rather honer, can deal with all kinds of steel. A steel will not give you the same finish on the harder steels used in Asian knives. The main disadvantage to ceramic sharpeners is their fragility. One drop to the kitchen floor, and back to Amazon for you. I do recommend them over steel.

Hi-Would you please clarify your comment? Are you saying you can use the ceramic side on a serrated knife, but not the steel, coarse side? Do you happen to know what you need to sharpen a serrated knife?Thanks,

Will not sharpen a ceramic knife. A ceramic knife is not able to be resharpen it is a ceramic not metal

Yes, I use the AccuSharp Knife Sharpener, http://amzn.com/B00004VWKQ , which works very well then I hone it with a ceramic rod, http://amzn.com/B001GW9FW0

I do not have ceramic knives, so I really don't know. BUT diamond is the hardest substance, I would think yes, but you should contact the manufacture of you knife to find out for sure.

This tool will NOT ceramic. To cut ceramic you will need a tool that has a diamond edge or blade to cut.

I don't have ceramic knives so can't answer that but it has done a good job on my metal knives. I have only used it once and realize now that I didn't use it long enough to get the knives as sharp as I wanted so I need to sharpen them again. My knives had not ever had a good sharp edge because all I had was a hand sharpener. I'm happy with my purchase.

Maybe...I have knives sharpened with diamond stones that I get to "razor" sharp but at a narrow angle. This sharpener gets my work knives sharp, but I don't consider them razor sharp. The angle is wider, but that makes the edge last longer. If your knife is really hard steel, it takes longer to sharpen and the possibility for a razor edge would come only from the ceramic rods and that could take a while.
