Is this sharpener good for beginners?

Yes. It is manual and two-stage, so you pull the blade through the carbide slot to set an edge and the ceramic slot to hone it. The adjustable angle guide helps you match the blade.

Can it sharpen serrated knives?

It is built for straight-edge knives and scissors. Serrated edges need a rod or tapered hone, so use this on plain edges only.

How often should I use the carbide stage?

Use the carbide slot only when the knife is genuinely dull, since it removes metal. For regular upkeep, the ceramic slot is enough.

At $22.32 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, it is a low-cost way to keep kitchen knives and scissors usable. If you want a polished edge, a whetstone or guided system costs more but gives finer control.

Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it. Do not put it in the dishwasher.
