Is this Fiskars or Gingher brand? The Title says Fiskars but the image is of a Gingher scissors sharpening stone.

It is not the same if it is not a Gingher, the dressmaker's shears are so expensive that I wouldn't use anything else but the recommended sharpening stone, the Gingher G-S.

My best guess and how I use it, is to final file the blade after I have sharpened it. It's not a sponge. It's a very durable & hard material that like I said, I believe is used to sheer any minescule remnants from after sharpening. Had the directions been in English, I might have been able to confirm this. However, the stone and stand are very well made and I don't think you can go wrong.

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 use the Fallkniven sharpening stone it is called a DC4 Diamond-Ceramic Whetstone, as well I use a leather strop to finish the blade to get a razor edge.

The name says Global, but Global doesn't make the sharpener. You can't even find it on the Global website. I ended up buying a different sharpener after I saw how shoddy this one was.

I am sorry but I do not know which knife you are referring to, but they are excellent knives and would recommend them.

When we bought them they were Gingher and it was titled that. At some point in time it changed. I would contact the sellers themselves to see what they have.

I am only familiar with the TrueSharp brand sharpener. That is the one I purchased and it works great.

Yes it is, or so it says on the cutting blade. I will add that this is a very nice sharpener for artist's quality colored pencils. I couldn't say how long the blade will last as I've not had it all that long. The only downside I can think of for this sharpener is that you need something to catch the shavings in.

I just received mine in the mail last night and it too says 40520 instead of 47520. I was disappointed that there is no Forschner logo/blade and doesn't say Fibrox on the handle. I haven't used it yet. I think I will email Amazon today.

Hi, The blades in the Tinkle are standard double sided razor blades. I ordered some very inexpensive but quality blades on Amazon (I trusted the reviews). The Tinkle takes two blades at a time.

I do not know without checking if the block is made of bamboo, but upon doing a little reading it says in the description of the item that the block is "hardwood". Whether or not bamboo is a hardwood, and I doubt that it is, is of little consequence to the performance of the knife set. Perhaps you are looking for a more ecologically sustainable housing for the knives, in that case, I guess, bamboo would be a better choice than hardwood.

I have no idea. There is a logo on it which is the same, as far as I can tell, as Wusthof's made in Germany. I can report 100% satisfaction from these blades, which I use for cutting paper and well as herbs.

They are called "pinking shears". You may find what you have described if you search that. The scissors I bought were regular straight edge shears, but I own a pair of Weis and a pair of Singer pinking shears in two different lengths. Good luck with your search.

To me, they are about the same. I keep one of those small sharpeners in the drawer and just run the blade through it on occasion. It's a good knife.

I've purchased several of these at Sam's Club, each time hoping the previous one was just a lemon. I think the model is a lemon. One stopped working a minute after plugging it in. When working, they sharpen fast, but I don't think you should buy one!
