This has already been answered by another respondent (FRAZZ) with great accuracy. GCF

The label "ceramic" on one of the slots does not refer to the type of blade the slot is intended to sharpen; it refers to the type of sharpening media in the slot. As Frazz stated, the slot is intended to sharpen steel blades.

No, it's a great sharpener for steel knives and scissors. Ceramic blades require a diamond stone and should be powered for best results. The other issue with ceramic knives is their tendency to crack or break off due to stress cracks formed by pressure and loose bits. I leave mine to be be done by the manufacturer or other professional. Steel knives, no problem, I do it myself with products such as this one.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.

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.

I have not tried to sharpen any ceramic knives and don't know if the reviewer is correct. If this is true my guess would be that the ceramic is as hard or harder than the grinding wheels in the sharpener. In most cases ceramic is very hard but brittle that's why ceramic holds an edge longer than steel but breaks or chips if side force is applied.

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.

Yes, just be sure your shun is not a single sided edge. I have two shuns and it sharpens them beautifully.

The Miracle Sharpener " Creates double-bevel V-shaped edge for superb cutting Ceramic edge provides a final polish Made for straight-edge knives." If you have a ceramic blade or knife, I suggest a "Ceramic" knife sharpener specifically made for "Ceramic" knives. There are many to choose from specifically made for ceramic knives. I am not a pro nor do I have any ceramic blades but from what I have read, there are major differences between ceramic & metal blade sharpeners. Hope that helps!

Absolutely. I bought an electric sharpener when I bought this knife and have used it a couple of times since and it keeps it razor sharp.

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.

Yes But recently I have been using ceramic knives,the ceramics do hold an edge much longer. The henkels are great but you do need to keep them sharp either with a ceramic,pr diamond steel or a sharpening service or device.... I love my good knives,sharp....

It doesnt sharpen, it just brings the blade bach to its "true" so the blade will be sharper than it was but if your knives need sharpening the stone is best.

Never ever sharpen ceramic knives yourself. They require a professional. If they are treated well and correctly, they won't need sharpening often and should last for many many years.

I don't think I would use it, I have only used it on straight knives, I use a diamond hone instead, or for that expensive of a knife it might pay to have it sharpened

I don't know for certain. This sharpener works with the knife blade perpendicular to the ceramic discs. It would be impossible to sharpen the serrations of a serrated blade.

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

you will be making a grave mistake if you try to pry anything with ceramic knifes. If you exert too much force it will snap, and you'll be purchasing a new one.....!

I haven't but I would use one of those plastic sharpeners that have the ceramic and the course sharpeners. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00032S02K?cache=f7f8c0a1e822bec97cb9f8ac53ad27a3π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70#ref=mp_s_a_1_6&qid;=1393128365&sr;=8-6
