does it sharpen many kinds of knives?

Yes, it does. I have used it to sharpen serrated and non-serrated blades and it does an equally good job with both.

Yes, just don't try to sharpen scissors! I misread the directions the first time.... Now I have to send my kitchen shears back to the manufacture to be retooled. But, this works like an absolute dream on all my other knives!

I use it for two sizes of chefs' knives, two sizes of paring knives, a boning knife and a slicer. I also hone but do not sharpen a bread knife on it. Ken W.

Not at all. WE use it primarily to sharpen mower blades. Very nice product.

Yes, I do. I originally bought this to sharpen some of the Henckel knives I have, but used it on others that were not as expensive and it worked great!

Yes, it does. Even with the directions it is very easy to figure out how to use it. It does not necessarily require sharpening oil, but a few drops of sharpening oil goes a long way.

I am very pleased with this sharpener but I use it for sharpening larger carving knives. I believe I could sharpen smaller/shorter blades but more care may be needed. It sharpens very well and I think you will find it a neat addition to your kitchen.

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.

No, but it has a pull out manual carbide slot for manually sharpening serated knives. Works well.

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.

yes it does... i have used it on all my old knifes... I do not put my knifes into the dish washer either... the heat dulls them...

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.

Yes, I use it on my Ginsu Japanese steel knives and they are sharper than ever. I love this Smith's sharpener! Best thing I've bought in a long time.

No, but it is really simple to use. I was able to sharpen all my kitchen knives in just 10 minutes.

For a razor blade, yes. I've used it to sharpen the blades of my broadheads which are just like a razor blade.

Yes, it sharpens any wooden pencil as long at the diameter fits in one of the holes. Mine works great!

Not here, but I have numerous knives which I like to keep razor sharp and this works great for the final honing. However I use three, more course stones before using this one as the final step.

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