will this sharpen ceramic knives

no. only way is send the knife to a company that sharpens "CERAMIC" knives.

I honestly don't know. I haven't really came across dull scissors. I know the Ceramic edge is to sharpen, and the Carbide is to set new ones. I don't know if will work on scissors though. I would recommend calling the manufacturer or try Smiths-JIFF-S-10-Second-Scissors-Sharpener in Amazon which is also made by Smith.

Yes, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.

Absolutely. I have 5 Global knives and this sharpener has returned them to their new razor-like sharpness.

I use it primarily for honing and keeping the edge sharp. If my knife is really dull and I cannot get a sharp smooth edge with the ceramic rod then I use a stone to redefine the edge. I have found that using the ceramic rod after every two or three uses then I seldom have to use the stone.

Yes it would, although I prefer the greenstone (chromium oxide) it's a little harder and doesnt apply as easy. But its more aggressive and does a better job sharpening

A ceramic sharpener, or rather honer, can deal with all kinds of steel. A steel will not give you the same finish on the harder steels used in Asian knives. The main disadvantage to ceramic sharpeners is their fragility. One drop to the kitchen floor, and back to Amazon for you. I do recommend them over steel.

No it does not. This stones in the sharpener are softer than the ceramic. GRS

Here's what the instructions say. "Use on alloy, carbon, or stainless steel. Not for scissors, serrated electric knives and any blade that does not fit freely in the guides." No mention of ceramic. I will say it has sharpened everything from a large cleaver to the most thin fillet knives. Hope this helps. I still give it a 5.

ill answer in two parts. firstly.. yes.. this kit CAN sharpen knives. secondly.. you don't want this kit because the plates bend, come unglued, and the material wears off. if you just want a quick cheap solution for a few knives go for it..otherwise, spend your money on something a bit more durable.

I haven't tried, but honestly I'd be surprised if you could. I think you'll need something a little harder to sharpen ceramics.

Hello Kyrylo, In my limited experience there are two principal factors in blade's sharpening. One and the most important is the hardness of the abrasive material (this is the material that you will use to abrade) the abrasive material must be harder than the metal of the blade, so it can erode the blade, until the blade takes a good edge. The other matter is the grain size of the abrasive material, if the size is small, the edge will be thinner and sharpen but it will take much longer to erode the steel, larger grain size will leave a coarse finish but the erotion part is considerably faster. If you are wondering if the carbide stone may abrade any of those steels... my answer will be a resounding yes. This material is one of the most hardest materials ever made and is almost or equal as hard as a diamond, there is no steel made by man that can achieve such hardness. But don't trust me, go and investigate about hardness. I recomend you to search the hardness tables of scales like Rockwell or Vickers, the manofacturer of the steel can provide you the info. You just need to compare the hardness of the steel and the stone. Finally I have a really good experience with this sharpener, as you may read in the description of it, the carbide stone sets the edge of the blade, and the ceramic stone finish the work, this is beacuse the ceramic stone has a smaller grain size than the carbide. And this is a pocket sharpener, to make quick repairs on the edge of modest knifes (like a bowie style and smallers) it's not for heavy duty. I hope I have been helpful. Best regards.

I would say yes, so far I have been happy with this tool = does sharpen my very old knives.

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.

Yes But recently I have been using ceramic knives,the ceramics do hold an edge much longer. The henkels are great but you do need to keep them sharp either with a ceramic,pr diamond steel or a sharpening service or device.... I love my good knives,sharp....

I don't know for certain. This sharpener works with the knife blade perpendicular to the ceramic discs. It would be impossible to sharpen the serrations of a serrated blade.

it will sharpen any NON serrated knives.works best with knives that need honing for a sharper blade. I would not use it for extremely dull knives.i do have Rada knives which I think are great.
