Is this sharpener good for both carbon steel and stainless steel?

Yes however for my more expensive carbon steel knives it creates a burr along the edge in the second stage no matter what... so you just move it to third stage to rid the burr. It takes many pulls to create a nice edge that you probobly should view by your eye. Don't stop running it thru til you get a sizable edge on your first stage.

The sharpener will work on both materials, but they say the carbon steel is harder than stainless steel, so you may need more pulls through the sharpener. Eyeball your knives to know when to advance to the next stage. Also may want to clean-out the residue from the carbon steel knives so no 'rust' appears in your sharpener.

The one that I have purchased was made in Taiwan. In my opinion it doesn't matter where it is made at ,but what is made of and put together. I have been a collector and knife maker for years. Carbon steel has always been the most practical for ease of sharpening and what I use. Yes it does rust , but a knife is a tool not a thing to set on a shelve and stared at. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you.

I don't see why it wouldn't sharpen carbon steel. I use German knives made by FDick have numerous styles as these are my kitchen tools and are expensive. The sharpener works great and have trusted its performance for many years.But give AccuSharp a call at 1-800-742-7797 to be sure.

I'm no expert but I use carborundum on any type of blade. I think any type of sharpening system will work on any blade but like I said I'm no expert

As far as I know, this is a sharpening steel. But I imagine it could be used for honing. It seems rugged enough to use for either. I bought mine for sharpening.

It sharpens my stainless knives pretty well. I do not know about your brand. The reason I bought this little machine is because other methods weren't working well to sharpen the stainless knives I had. This works well for my uses and I was able to keep a good edge on them with all but butchering I did this past autumn. I am happy with it. Of course, I would prefer carbon steel knives if I could find them......

I really don't know. This model is the only one I have ever used. It is small and handy and does a good job. My daughter also has one and she is very happy with it. She says it does as good a job as any more expensive sharpener she has had.

Yes - the blade is stainless steel. Although I have noticed more and more stainless steel items seem more susceptible to tiny rust spots ie. a few pocket knives from Kershaw and SOG that have spots. Luckily this is not the case with this stick blender.

Should be fine. Those are steel blades and 16 degree angle, which is what this sharpener is for.

Hi - I'm not completely sure. But from my experience, you can use on all knives. It's super easy and a great sharpener. Their customer service is great - shoot them a quick email before purchasing. Hope that helped.

Hi, I bought the sharpener and have used it on both Global and Wustholf knives to great success, best if you finish with the Wusthof steel afterwards.

The black SRK is SK5 steel which is a carbon steel easier to sharpen than stainless steel but won't stay as sharp will rust the one without the coating is San Mai III which is a higher quality stainless steel stay sharp longer won't rust as easily but harder to sharpen I'd go with San Mai III

Wished I could help you here but I've only sharpened high carbon or high carbon stainless steel blades. Sorry.

Not if it's stainless steel. Carbon steel is easier to resharpen in the field.I have never liked stainless as much as carbon blades. So I don't think it's worth the money.

I don't use a ceramic sharpener for this steel. I find if you don't have a stone, a diamond rod sharpener followed by a strop gets this knife silly sharp. It's carbon steel so the diamond rod sharpeners' abrasive surface works well. Stropping helps this knife stay polished and shiny, as well. This is by far one of the sharpest knives I've ever come across. For ~$14, how can you go wrong?

I believe all steel has carbon. This is German 4116 stainless--"Krupp". Stainless is not 100% stainless. Proper care is the best thing you can do to keep your knife in good shape, This knife should be used for what it was made for. I love mine and treat it appropriatly.
