Can you sharpen a bowie on this stone?

Yes, absolutely. I also strongly recommend a leather strapping system for razor sharpness.

This stone is more suited for kitchen knives, where a razor sharp edge is desirable. I would think for a Bowie knife, you'd want an arkansas stone like this one: Smiths-TRI-6-Arkansas-TRI-HONE-Sharpening System.

I believe so. The stone is small, 2" x 6", but you sharpen a section at a time.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

I do not use a stone,I use the small smith sharpener and it fits fine,you could most likely use any stone made for a sheath,it is fairly large

Yes and No. Yes, as a First stage for sharpening the knife - I use it on my Wustoff knives. However, I use a hard Arkansas stone to produce the Finished edge. Use the coarse side on extremely worn or dull knives that need restoration. I am satisfied with this stone for most household sharpening, although, I am shopping for a dual grit water stone in the range of 2000/6000 grits.

Any rough sharpening stone will work, I would recommend one big enough to hold or one with a grip.

You'd need to use the rod that folds out and sharpen each serration with it, as far as I understand it. That can be time-consuming, but it 'works'.

Yes, you can sharpen small knives and tools on the Lansky Dual Grit Sharpener. It's just like a regular sharpening stone, but it's shaped like a hockey puck.

Probably not. For that you would need to take it to a knife shop or spend a lot of time with a whet stone.

No, but it is large enough you can safely hold the stone while sharpening the knife.

I'm pretty sure you can. I have a diamond sharpener from Smith's and it advises to use honing oil. So I doubt it'll cause anything bad. I use this oil on all my stones.

No, not unless you have a special sharpener that is made for that type of bade.

use the #2 stone. If knife is really dull it may take several passes maybe 6.

Yes...with tool to hold the chisel. It is large enough...could use an even finer grit but and extra fine stone for an extremely sharp edge but the is a great value.

Yes it can be sharpened. I just make a few swipes on my fine steel between uses and its razor sharp. The blade is very thin so its great for fine thin slicing which is what I use it for.

No. Its 1095 crovan high carbon steel. Not to bad to sharpen, but then again i use diamond stones. The 1095 takes a lot of abuse and holds a edge for a while.

I would buy a lanky sharpening kit that has multiple stones and it will give you a hair popping edge.

I would say it is possible but dependent on the size and shape of the bit and head of the axe you have to sharpen. This sharpeners primary intended design appears to me for putting a quick edge on typical knives. I have been very satisfied with the purchase of this product for that purpose.
