The Rada R119 knife sharpener is the best thing going for getting a quick edge back on your Rada knives. I even use mine on my pocket knives. Just a few pulls through the two wheels and your Rada knife is ready to cut some more. Tim My Knife Store

One method to sharpen it is to send it back into the company. I believe they still offer free sharpening services for your Shun blades. You can use a wet stone also, however I would suggest looking at a you tube video or other guide on sharpening shun blades.

You can have a ceramic knife sharpened but really only by a professional with previous experience. all the home ceramic sharpers ive seen really don't work well. I would google a local knife sharpener in your area.

If the blade doesn't have gouges in it, a kitchen honing steel will work fine. If the blade has visual pits, buy a good whet stone and use that.

I use a diamond machining technology (DMT) sharpener--fine + medium surfaces. Actually, I use only the fine and amazingly enough that seems sufficient. The one I have no longer appears to be listed on Amazon, but I would think any fine DMT sharpener would be OK--they're relatively inexpensive. The closest I can come to what I have isDMT D4F 4-Inch Dia-Sharp Continuous Diamond Sharpener Fine

The so-called "sharpener" is not really a knife sharpener, but a tool used to re-align the microscopic teeth of the blade. If your determined to have a "shaving sharp" blade you need to 1st have the knife properly sharpened on a sharpening stone. If you don't know how to do this and want to learn then I recommend Creek Stewart's new book "Build Your Own Bug-Out Skills found elsewhere on this site. Other ideas are to take the knife to a professional knife sharpener or perhaps your local butcher who makes their living using a really sharp knife.

I really can't answer that question because I'm not familiar with that type of Knife... Sorry! As for just your everyday sharpening of regular knives I must say that it's just O.K., I do better with my hand held sharpener!

There is a place to sharpen ceramic stone knives. I don't have any, so I haven't used it,

We also have a good collection of surgical stainless steel knives & want to caution you when using this sharpener. GO SLOW when sharpening! as you can ruin the knife blade angle if in hurry & don't let your teenager help you without training.

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.

If I need my blade sharpened, my husband does it with his knife sharpener. Hand held ceramic sharpener. Had never thought about taking it anywhere to get sharpened. Hope this helps.

I use the product that came with the leather - if you run out you can get more at the hardware store. It actually comes in at least three different types [each a different color] - depends upon what you are sharpening and how fine a finish you desire.

I don't have that brand of knifes... where in the ad does it say one has to have that brand for the sharpener to work properly?

I have a Boker ceramic knife. I did use the Duosharp to sharpen mine and it will definitely sharpen the knife. Is it the recommended way? Don't know. My instructions tell me to send the knife back to Boker to be sharpened. Brian

the best way is to go to a reliable knife sharpener person. If none are available in your area, there is a hand held sharpener you can use. It has two little crock stick areas that you use depending on the knife. Check out the Lansky PS Med 01 blade medic or the Zwilling J A Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. Stay away from electric ones as they are hard on the blades.
