I am not able to answer your question. I ordered this sharpener a short time ago and have not used it yet.

No. You need one that will run off of an external power supply. This one has an unremovable chord attached to it. Or you could plug it into a transformer if you have one already. The model 1771 should work for you but it isn't a heavy duty sharpener.

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.

Russell, Good question. Yes, it does leave behind iron filings, which is why it's a good idea to sweep or vacuum the floor afterward, and wipe off the counter. The amount of iron filings is dependent upon the size of the blade, how dull it was, and the number of blades you sharpen in any given setting. However, the filings are very small and fine so not very noticeable if you're only sharpening one blade. Let me know if you have any other questions.

No, ceramic blades require a professional setup. The vibration from a regular sharpener will shatter a ceramic blade.

The blades I purchased were for a L120. I would say they are OK but not that special. Does not pick up like high lift blades do but do chop up twigs and leaves a little better.

Yes but not recommended. shun is partnered with kershaw which means you can take them in to be professionally sharpened free of charge i would suggest looking up authorized dealers. Please note from what I've been told, if your knife is stamped with four x`s they will not honor it and you will be charged. As its marked as a defected knife.

I'm not real familiar with 120 equipment. I just looked on amazon for something like that and they have some. Not sure which one you would need. Sorry I had no direct answer for you.

I don't think so. I had some problems with my blades as well, over time. I use a heavy card stock and was attempting to cut 2-3 pages at a time. Over time, this stopped working. Because I didn't want to replace the machine, I started just cutting one page at a time. It is, obviously, more time consuming and a pain, but it works better than ever. I did not know the machine was self sharpening, but maybe it is. It seems to have improved by not overburdening the blades.

No the blade is beveled to 16 degrees instead 24 so it's much safer to sharpen by hand or with shun sharpener but to get original blade like best to send back to shun for there free sharpening services

Hi, I lap every type of natural and synthetic hone that there is daily. I am not sure if this is a 95 or a 120 grit but I can say, "do not go any coarser" than this plate for lapping. If this plate is 120 grit and you go to a 95 grit you are going to have problems and you will need to wet sand your stones to 200-400 grit after using it. Good luck.

Yes they do need sharpening but they are easy to re-sharpen. It's a good blade that doesn't rust easily.

Yes, and this machine is awesome. I sharpened all of my knives 6 months ago and they are still sharp as ever ! It not only sharpens but it hones as well. Best purchase I have made yet. It even sharpens serrated knifes as well.

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

I looked in the manual and it says that the warranty is not covered by "routine maintenance items such as lubricants, blade sharpening". That leads me to believe you can sharpen the blades.

FYI... here is what Wusthof said: Hi, Serrated edge knives actually never need to be sharpened. The way the blades are made, the part that needs to stay sharp never hits a cutting surface so it should not ever go dull. Using a serrated edge knife on the 2904-7 knife sharpener would damage it, so I do not recommend trying it. Regards, Lauren info@wusthof.com Wusthof-Trident Inc 333 Wilson Avenue Norwalk, CT 06854
