is this product for all knives or just wusthof knives

I only use it on wusthof knives but it might work on others. Your question might be better addressed to wusthof.

This product works for all kitchen knives. My understanding is that the difference between this model and the others by Chef's Choice is the angle that it sharpens at. I believe that Wusthof uses a slightly different angle than other manufacturers, so this sharpener is designed to keep that edge angle intact. All this being said, I've used this sharpener on all types of knives, and it works well.

Hi - I'm not completely sure. But from my experience, you can use on all knives. It's super easy and a great sharpener. Their customer service is great - shoot them a quick email before purchasing. Hope that helped.

According to Wusthof, while it is designed for the Ptec edge it can be used for other knives BUT what they don't tell you is that using it on other knives requires more grinding since there is a significant amount of steel that must be removed from regular knives to create a new ptec edge. So if you don't have Wusthof knives,other sharpeners would be more appropriate. Since I have a lot of Wusthof knives this sharpener was just what I needed.

This sharpener will work on non-Wusthof knives. The first stage ("coarse") will provide the angle Wusthof uses. It may take quite a number of passes.

I just use a regular steel and it works great. Use the angle you would for any knife.

I am not familiar with the product Global knives but what I do know is that the set that I have that it does sharpen German Steel knives both serrated and unserrated.

I don't know. I have sharpen every knife I have from a Kershaw 3650st, to a Buck flay knife, to a kitchen knife. It works well for me always keeps the same angle.

For sharpening at home I love this thing! Easy to use and works great! I have all Wusthof knives so I figured I'd get their sharpener too. You should also have a steel. Once you get a good edge from the sharpener you use the steel between sharpenings to keep the edge super sharp! I use my steel almost every time I so I don't have to use the sharpener much.

I am very happy with the performance of the Wusthof Edge 2 sharpener. It does a great job on both serrated and standard blades. The price is very competitive as well.

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker sharpening kit for all my knives, including this one. It comes with instructions and default stones that work great.

Yes. I use the sharpener that Wüsthof makes, which is designed to accommodate the blade edge design.

My son brought all his over at Christmas. Most were inexpensive knives and it worked great on them too. I'm very pleased with it.

According to the Amazon product description of the "Wusthof Precision Edge 4 Stage Knife Sharpener": The standard sharpener uses carbide blades set at 28 degrees or 14 degrees per side to sharpener[sic] your standard kitchen knives. Stage 2 of the standard side uses ceramic rods to hone a fine edge on your blade. Simply slide the cover over to Asian knives to sharpen your Asian knives to a 20 degree angle or 10 degrees per side". So if this one is the standard part of the above, the angle is 14 deg according to Amazon. On the booklet that came with it, Wusthof says "Designed to handle all new knives with PEtec edge". Various sources on the web claim that with PEtec marketing Wusthof has reduced their edge angle from the former 19 deg to 14 deg (per side). Other web sources claim (old) German knives are 22 deg per side. I took an aligned macro photograph and measured the ratio of the coarse carbide blade separation vs perpendicular height, and using trigonometry got 18.4 deg per side (est error: +/- 0.4 deg ). Same measurement on the fine ceramic rods got 18.5 deg. It is possible the angle changes slightly when one actually puts a knife in the slots and applies some pressure.

I use it with my Global knife and it works great for honing every other time I use the knife... and I am chopping or prepping with the knives almost every day. my 2 cents...

you always want the forged knife (german made w/wusthof) rather than stamped knife except with a bread knife, where the thinner stamped blade works better. hop this helps-and IMHO, wusthof are some of the very best-professional grade

I absolutely love my Wusthof Precision Edge knife sharpener. I saw the review of this item on America's Test Kitchen and bought it. It performs as advertised. I sharpened every knife in my house and sharpened those in my mother's house and then went to the neighbor's kitchen and sharpened all of hers...and it still works beautifully. Run to purchase this. I sharpen with this and will hone with a sharpening steel...but even that is not necessary. I use it with any and all brands of knives.

I use the Wusthof sharpener to sharpen both types of cutting edges. I am very pleased with the job it does keeping my knives sharp.
