I have used the sharpener for a variety of kitchen knives and it seemed to do the job. I think--especially for the price--it would work for pocket and hunting knives.

Pocket knife , yes . Hunting knife depends on how wide the edge is . This is one handy sharpener .

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.

The instructions for serrated knives are a bit different than for a normal straight edge. Most Serrated knifes have a beveled side and a flat side. Only sharpen the flat side with the finest grit belt. I haven't tried this yet but I don't see any reason why it won't work

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't think this is the right sharpener for a serrated edge blade.

I don't know. I'm under the impression that serrated knives in general cannot be sharpened.

It's a saw blade, so it's serrated. You'll have to sharpen it eventually, but mine has been going for about two years without the need to resharpen. I believe you can buy spare blades as well.

I have used this on my serrates knives but I do it very gently. It works wonderful on all the other knives. One mistake that people make is they think that the honing tool is to sharpen the knives it only is to straighten the edge of the knives. I hope that this answers your question. Have a glorious Thanksgiving and a Blessed Christmas.

I love mine, but had the same problem...I had an old SPYDERCO shapner, a base with two "V" shaped rods coming out of it and it works perfecly. Razor sharp when I'm done...this comes in a pouch and doesn't take up enough room in my pack to worry about. This sharpens anything, even fish hooks. I believe you can still buy these. If not, get a flat whet stone. That's the best help I can give you. R / Mack

Yes !!! I've only had it for about three weeks .. But works pretty good in my opinion.. I've used it for steak knives and works fine.. Can't beat the price.. It has a sharpener on one side, for coarse knifes and on the other side for fine knifes.. Good luck if you decide to buy.. I would recommend it !!!!!

kjm said the directions say it will work on serrated edge knives. Is there any kind of a guarantee if the sharpener ruins it?

Manufacture claims "they never need sharpening" but they provide a sharpening rod. I would stand the rod on end with the tip on the counter. Then gently draw the knife blade down the rod at about a 20 degree angle for each side of the blade. See how that works for you. I am by no means an expert on this.

That'll work just fine. It doesn't hold an edge very well, so constant sharpening will be needed. Any one of those handheld sharpeners with that sharpening V will be quickest and easiest way to go.

Absolutely! Serated knives are my favorite as they are more versatile. I honestly didn't think you could sharpen a serated edge until I gave it a try with my Perfect Edge sharpener, it worked! I would definitely recommend this sharpener for serated edges, you will be glad you did!

i wish i could answer more intelligently about your question, I have several knives, a glock knife, a smaller gerber survival knife, and some other odds and ends. this knife by far meets above standard sharpness. I didn't think I would like the serrated part on the blade until I used it to cut something requiring strength. It exceeded my expectations. The knife is larger than I thought it would be, but given the situations of why I purchased it in the first place "survival preparedness" I think it is going to work out great.

Yes, but a regular flat sharpening stone will do a better job. This tool is really designed for pocket knives and fixed blade hunting knives where the included angle is 30 and 40 degrees.

Have not tried with serrated knives.In theory, I could see it doing it. For a while.Eventually, the metal edge of the blade would wear away; passed the indentures of the serrations and you'd have a smooth edge.There is an abrasive wheel within the device that grinds away at the metal surface.Other reviewers may be in the early stages.What if it takes a hundred years to wear passed the serrations?!:)It is a great sharpener. You should feel comfortable buying this one.Good luck!

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for it. It's fairly inexpensive and the easiest sharpening method. As far as not needing to sharpen it because it has a "SpyderEdge," that's total nonsense. It's a blade. Blades dull with use. Blades need to be sharpened.
