- Does it work on serrated knives?
- Yes. The slot handles serrated edges, which is useful for bread knives. Pull through each serration lightly and avoid pressing hard.
- Will it damage my knives?
- It removes more metal than a stone or rod, so use it sparingly. It is fine for inexpensive stainless knives but not ideal for hard Japanese blades.
- What surfaces does the suction base stick to?
- Smooth, non-porous surfaces such as granite, glass, tile and polished steel. It will not hold on wood, textured laminate or rough stone.
- Do I need to wet the stone or use oil?
- No. It is a dry pull-through sharpener with no stone, oil or water. Wipe the blades and the slot clean after use.
- Is it better than a whetstone?
- It is faster and easier but gives a coarser edge and shortens blade life faster. A whetstone or guided rod set gives a sharper, longer-lasting edge with more effort.
- What angle does it sharpen at?
- It sharpens at roughly 20 degrees per side, a common angle for Western kitchen knives.
- Where is the AnySharp Classic Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $24.00, as of our latest check.
