will this sharpen pocket knifes

One needs to be exceedingly careful when using. If not careful it will not sharpen the blade unevenly or grind away too much. DO NOT use on your good or expensive knives! Take them to a reputable knife sharpener. I will henceforth use as a sharpener for garden tools rather than my precious kitchen knives

I really can't answer that question because I'm not familiar with that type of Knife... Sorry! As for just your everyday sharpening of regular knives I must say that it's just O.K., I do better with my hand held sharpener!

I recommend watching some how to videos. Explaining how to sharpen a knife using a wet stone thru text is rather difficult. Also, getting a guide on which angles are better for different purposes is a good idea. I use between a 20-25 degree angle for my pocket knives. Again, check out you tube where you can see a demonstration.

I do not know if this particular model will sharpen ceramic knives. There are specialty items made for such delicate items such as the ceramic knives due to their makeup. An example is the Kyocera Electric Diamond Knife Sharpener for Ceramic Knives which is sold on Amazon as well. This is just a suggestion and should be taken as such. Do your research please. It will pay off in the long run.

Steven, it's an open design. I don't know much about sharpening so if it takes something special for pocket knives it may not work but it has an open design so there's no reason a pocket knife wouldn't fit in the V for sharpening. I only remember my uncle sharpening his with a stone and some type of oil. :)

I would like to know the answer to this question, too. The answer by Ms. Ledbetter doesn't do it. Does anyone know if this will sharpen santoku knives?

Yes, you can, if you handle it correctly, especially large knives and kitchen tools. For REAL precision, please check out Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction SharpenerIt is pocket size and is absolutely awesome. I collect these things, and that one blew me away.The problem here is the sharpening ANGLE, and if you are not precise it will just go it's way. Another important point is HOW you finish your job, INTO or AWAY from the blade. Lots of info on YouTube. Be SHARP !

My Husband says, Did not work on his pocket knife due to blade being too thick and angle on pocket knife is different than angle on sharpener.He thinks buy a sharpening stone and that would work better.It does Great on Kitchen Knives, though.

I have a Ka-Bar, but have not attempted to sharpen it with this sharpener. I believe that it will.

Hey Jorge, if you are looking for a small sharpener to carry in your pocket to sharpen anything on the fly with then this is it, I've sharpened Axe"s, Hatchets, Knives and also fishing blades with this little gem... to answer your question YES.. it will sharpen just about anything, I would recommend putting the Machetes between your knee's with the handle hitting your stomach, then sharpen with a forward motion away from you, use course side first then the fine ceramic side.. also look at Smith's 50447 4-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone, it run's about $10.00, by using these two products together you will be able to just about sharpen anything to hold a good blade. Well I hope I was of some help with this product... :-)

Lori, Even though I have never tried it. My educated guess is that yes it would. My knife goes thru foam like butter so this might take a bit longer but still do the job. Sam

NO!! And this tool comes with a "how-to" pamphlet. Always use a sawing motion for sharpening knives. This works good on pocket knifes also.
