Is this work for Chinese knife?

It works for the Santoku knife that I have - I'm not sure what you might mean by Chinese knife. The large slots are pretty deep - my Santoku knife blade is probably about 2 inches wide, and it fits into this no problem.

Assuming a Chinese knife as a one edge taper like many Japanese knives the answer is yes. You just won't be using half of the sharpening sides. Super thick blades may have a problem.

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say a "Chinese knife"; however, I am able to use this for every knife of various shapes & sizes that I own. I love having my knives in a drawer & off of my counter. It works very well for me.

If memory serves, a chinese knife is similar to a cleaver. I don't think this item would hold it securely.

Yes, this sharpener also works with other thin bladed knives. Thicker forged knives also work, but not easily.

You can't use this for Santoku knives. They have different blade angles. You must get a model designed for Asian knives.

I think it might. My knife arrived defective so I only have one blade that works. Used it only one time.

Yes. It will. But I don't know why you'd bother with the old ones even if you have a case of them lying around. The ones Irwin makes work so much better. They are more securely pinned down. They wobble less. And they have breakaway tips so that when one gets dull, rather than opening up the knife and replacing it, half of the time you snap it off and continue working with a new edge.

I don't see why this sharpener wouldn't work for other knives also. It simply consists of 3 ceramic grinding wheels of different grit. Global is a company which produces knives.

Probably would be a safe bet. I haven't had it for long but it seems to work well for the kitchen knifes. My stone gets my pocket and hunting knifes sharper. This sharpener takes less work tho.

For a Knife being made in China its really High Quality, so no mate it is not...

I don't think so...I bought the Shun 22 slot bamboo block and this knife fits perfectly.

Yes. too cheap to be otherwise. The real question is what kind steel is used for the blade. A couple of the Chinese knife steels aren't bad, the res rest you are better off w/ a stick.

I believe they can be used on any two-sided knife, which includes most Japanese knives. Shun's site says they have two edges, so should be fine.

YES,YES A yes is the best answer I can give. They have worked with the Chinese on porclein coatings for some cookware, but still made in the US.

Doubtful. Even if it fit, why would you try to put that edge on a Bowie knife?

It should not matter who made the knives in question, this sharpener should be able to handle them well - unless you have "ceramic" (white or black blades) rather than steel blades. Those will probably require specialized diamond sharpeners.

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.

You need to know the proper edge angle for your Gyuto knife as this sharpener is designed for the 15 degree Asian style edge which is thinner and sharper than say the traditional American blade. I know Cook's Illustrated rated this Chef's Choice Pronto the very best of it's type, but I don't recall what month the article was in nor if they mentioned using it on other style knifes. Perhaps someone can do a search for you if you ask the question again. Sorry...Ron
