Can I use this sharpener for any Global knife?

There are two kinds of GLOBAL knife series. One is "GLOBAL series". The other is "GLOBAL-PRO series". So, you can use this sharpener for "GLOBAL series" knife. But you cannot use this sharpener for "GLOBAL-PRO series" knife. Thank you for your question.

Yes !!! I've only had it for about three weeks .. But works pretty good in my opinion.. I've used it for steak knives and works fine.. Can't beat the price.. It has a sharpener on one side, for coarse knifes and on the other side for fine knifes.. Good luck if you decide to buy.. I would recommend it !!!!!

It's a nice sharpener that will put damn sharp edges on a dull knife, but I either use the budget set I sharpened with this great gadget, or my Cutco. Sorry that I can't help.

This could be used to sharpen a Santoku or any knife but the sharpener I received simply did not work. Not sure if it was misaligned, but I returned the unit. I took my blades, including my Santoku, to a local butcher shop that did them all for $1 a piece, which I think was a bargain.

I do not know, because I don't own those type of knives. However, the instructions indicate that this sharpen can be used to sharpen this type of knife.

I would say no bc the sharpeners are shaped differently. I think each are made to do their specific job! It seems like each are doing the same thing, but they are not! They accommodate each tool individually! I LOVE them! They work incredible well!! With a lifetime guarantee, you can't possibly go wrong!! Don't hesitate to purchase!!

Sure, but I wouldn't recommend it. I bought it for the cheap house knives at my restaurant. I sharpen all of MY knives by hand still

Yes, you can but you might consider getting the Shun sharpening steel. The Shun knife blade is set up on a particular angle The Shun steel has a built in guide to set the knife at exactly the angle the knife has from the factory. I should also say that a few swipes on the Shun steel really makes a difference, aligning the edge and removing small imperfections without doing damage to the blade.

No, you can use any sharpener you like. I use a standard electric sharpener.

NO! Don't use this for your Japanese knives! This is a sharpener for European-style knives. Japanese-style knives are sharpened at a different angle. You will need a different sharpener for them.

Simple answer is no. Detailed answer is: santoku knives traditionally have a slightly different sharpening bevel requirement, due to different blade thickness and steels used in construction. Some new "santoku" knives only copy the basic blade outline, and could thus be sharpened to the same shoulder angle as a Western designed knife. So, you COULD sharpen to Western knife standards, but the results would not be as good as you would like. A 2nd issue it that this is the 2-stage sharpener - which only gives you honing in the 1st stage. I don't think it would work well for your santoku knives. Wikipedia has some helpful articles on santoku and kitchen knives, if you want more info.

Don't know. I'm using it for the Swiss Victorinox knives which have an Asian edge, at least the angle. But I think they aren't sharpened on one side only like a lot of Japanese knives.

Honestly Im not sure but you can send it to Kershaw for them to sharpen it for free. That is what I do with all my Kershaw knives.

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

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...

I have used it on other Japanese steel knives and it works fine.Cannot tell about the above mentioned though.

I am not familiar with the Gyuto knife, however, according to the directions on the Chef's Choice Santoku knife sharpener it can be used on knives with both sides cutting edge but not on knives that are designed to be sharpened on only one side of the blade. If your knife can be sharpened on both sides, this is a great product.
