Can anyone recommend a sharpener for these knives, or know the angle for sharpening?

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

I use the "Fortune Prod 001 Accusharp Knife And Tool Sharpener Knife Sharpener, Pocket" that I bought on Amazon and it works great.

Not sure about the edge angle, but Amazon offers several sharpeners for ceramic knives. Check out the battery operated one by Kyocera, which will sharpen the knife to a 35 degree angle.

I have two sets. The first set I bought 2 years ago and the second set last year. I have never sharpened them. I love these knives.

Hey Tom,I really couldn't give you an exact angle but looking at mine I would say the angle is likely around 65-70 degree's, there is almost a half inch gap in your blade run so I have found it will sharpen most of all my knives and hatchets.I hope this helped.Curt

Get the shun whetstone, and youtube some videos on how to use it. Then you're going to need a honing steel, I recommend the shun one because it's designed for their blades... I wouldn't do it any other way because machines and "professional" knives sharpening companies aren't going to take the time to sharpen the knife properly and in the long run you'll shorten your cleavers blade / life .

They are fixed at a 46 degree sharpening angle (23 degrees per side).See the blog @ http://www.edgeexperts.com/2010/12/21/2-step-knife-sharpener-sharpening-big-game-hunting-knives/

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.

This is like any other sharpener. It is not hard to find the best angle. You must find it by yourself because not all knives are made the same way.

There are two fixed angles -- one at the top for sharpening knives, the other lower for sharpening scissors and other implements. It takes a screwdriver and some fuss to change from one to the other, which is why I suggested a person should own two units -- one for each type of sharpening without the bother of switching back and forth between them.

No the angle is wrong for Japanese knives. He should look for sharpeners that specify for Japanese knives.Good Luck!

Sorry for the delay. I use a sharpener from Farberware ~ it has a double (v-type) wedge that sharpens quick and nicely. I hope this helps it is not too late.

I've had the best luck with the Work Sharp sharpening system, available from Amazon as well. Most sharpeners I've used give you a 25 degree edge. This one sharpens at 20 degree angle, giving a much sharper and longer lasting edge.

I cannot answer this question, as I do not know. I suggest that you contact the mfgr, if you need to sharpen it. The knife has asian characters written on it, which would lead me to believe that it needs to be angled the same as other asian knives.

Yes, the sharpening angles are adjustable. This is a cheap copy of the Edge Pro sharpener. Look that up and you will know how this works. I did buy the Edge Pro stones in addition to those that came with this and I think the Edge Pro stones are better (but raise the price).

They arrive very sharp. I am ignorant about sharpening but I would imagine an ordinary knife sharpener? Sorry, I am not much help. I collect them more for their beauty, although Case makes great knives.

Keep a consistent angle and just let the weight of the knife do the work. Don't force it. If you have a Tri-angle sharpmaker, just put this in one of the slots that you would put any other triangle stone.

I'm not sure since I haven't had that issue so far. Have you tried to take them to a local hardware store to see if they can be sharpened? Sorry I wasn't able to help you.
