Can you sharpen a ceramic knife? If so, how?

I don't think so but you may want to research it on the internet a little. However, my knives have never dulled. I have broken/chipped them, but they did not dull. That is why I am glad these all have sheaths. As soon as I wash one, I put it back in the sheath and in the drawer. I also have to continually remind my husband that they are not tools. That is how one of my old ones broke. He was trying to use it to open a box or something.

Yes you can but it requires a diamond tipped sharpener and someone who knows what they are doing

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.

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

Yes, to a razor fine edge. Use a quality knife steel like one from Chicago Cutlery, etc. A ceramic rad works too.

you should never dishwash a knife, even a crummy one, even a steel one. The high pressure jets of water rattle blades around. Even with steel, it dulls the blade and makes microscopic chips. This ruins a steel knife, (whether the average user notices it or not) A ceramic blade is harder and even more brittle than a steel blade. Do not dishwash knives. Becase ceramic is even more non porus and nonreactive than steel is, all you have to do is run it under soap and water and dry it.

no, you can't but I imagine there is a knife sharpener that is good for this(maybe in time I will look a knife sharpener that is suitable for it that doesn't ruin the color).. So far, ever since I bought it, still really sharp to used.

The tip is not sharp, rather rounded - I believe all ceramic knife is designed that way. It may not get into chicken joint.

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

I use a soft mouse pad with fine sandpaper on it. Just Google how to sharpen a convex knife.

Dear SG, I'm not very good either, at sharpening. So I bought one of the relatively inexpensive ceramic rod sharpeners. they have a plastic frame that holds the knife at about twenty degrees, all you have to remember is to pass the blade over the rod aproximately the same number of strokes for each side to keep them even. You can't really mess up to bad, just set the sharpener on a flat surface and run the blade it's full length on the ceramic rod, use aproximately the same presure on each side of blade. Not much pressure is required. You will notice as t he blade is sharpened it will get more and more shinny on the cutting edge. No oil or water is necessary on these types of sharpeners as would be on a traditiional stone.The edge you can get with six or seven passes on each side of blade should be plenty sharpe enough for the average job.Don't let the blade get too dull between sharpening as it lenthens the amount of time necessary to bring up a good cutting edge. Best of luck on it, start off with your cheapest blade even though the chances of doing any harm are small. Gary petersen

I can't say if it will sharpen ceramic knives, I don't own any ceramic knives, but I can tell you that I thought this sharpener is an inferior product. I believe I am qualified to say that because I am a retired furniture maker for 46 years.

Hi Thomas,Despite people using our knives to cut cheese, you cannot use our knives to cut cheese as the blade may snap. Our ceramic knives are made for precision slicing. We advise against cutting hard foods or carving large meats, and any other foods that require you to force the cut. Any excess pressure on the handle or blade may cause damage to the knife. -Shenzhen Knives

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

Ceramic knives stay sharp for years at a time, and when they dull, you generally throw them out and get new ones. You CAN have them professionally sharpened, but that'd likely cost more than a new set of knives. My advice, keep em, and they really will stay sharp for years.

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.

From what I've experienced I would use a wet stone first then keep the edge straight with the ceramic steel. After that I would use the ceramic steel before and after each use. Your knife should stay sharp longer with minimal effort.
