Does this do ceramic knives?

I do not know if this particular model will sharpen ceramic knives. There are specialty items made for such delicate items such as the ceramic knives due to their makeup. An example is the Kyocera Electric Diamond Knife Sharpener for Ceramic Knives which is sold on Amazon as well. This is just a suggestion and should be taken as such. Do your research please. It will pay off in the long run.

No it does not. This stones in the sharpener are softer than the ceramic. GRS

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

This works on all my stainless and high carbon knives and machetes. The ceramic side provides a super sharp edge, once you get it close with the carbide. The only thing I do that gets it sharper is the leather barber's strop with Turtle Wax rubbing compound.

I don't have ceramic knives so can't answer that but it has done a good job on my metal knives. I have only used it once and realize now that I didn't use it long enough to get the knives as sharp as I wanted so I need to sharpen them again. My knives had not ever had a good sharp edge because all I had was a hand sharpener. I'm happy with my purchase.

no. only way is send the knife to a company that sharpens "CERAMIC" knives.

It should not matter who made the knives in question, this sharpener should be able to handle them well - unless you have "ceramic" (white or black blades) rather than steel blades. Those will probably require specialized diamond sharpeners.

yes that's correct the ceramic knife if used correctly should stay sharp for a long period of time one of the best features of the ceramic knife!

Nope, this pottery is amazing! Use it everyday and have it in two houses! Haven't tried it with steak knives though.

no grooves, they're not needed when using a ceramic sharpener. this thing is a beauty: it can be used to sharpen serrated knives, such as bread knives, or slicers. on conventional knives, just use it as you would a conventional steel with grooves.

The knife isn't guaranteed for life, the blade is simply supposed to stay sharp for life. That said, if you take care of this knife, it will stay sharp and serve you well for years. A couple key points based on below comments: Ceramic knives are not meant to be used to cut through bone or other hard and frozen material. That's one sure way to break the blade. Ceramic knives are best for soft objects, especially vegetables and fruits (where you won't want to use a metal blade) and soft proteins without bones.

Yes. Amazon also sells the sharpening tool. Its the Rapala Ceramic Sharpener Two Stage. Not that expensive and does the job. I use the knives all fo the time and have had to sharpen them one time in two years. Its a great purchase.

It's not recommended. Officially, ceramic knives must be sent back to their producer to be sharpened at the factory. Fortunately, this service is typically cheap or even free.

YES! Use the Wusthof Asian-style sharpener. It does an excellent job. It has both a coarse and fine set of ceramic sharpening stones set at the proper angle for this blade. I have had this knife for quite a while and still love it.

I use it to trim, grind and cut off ceramic glaze from pottery. I would say, yes it can.

The label "ceramic" on one of the slots does not refer to the type of blade the slot is intended to sharpen; it refers to the type of sharpening media in the slot. As Frazz stated, the slot is intended to sharpen steel blades.

Corey All I know is that IT BROKE on my after just a few uses. The sharpness of the knife was wonderful, but I contacted the company a number of times and they never responded to either replace or refund my money.......... Oh, It does seem to be all ceramic. When it broke, I didn't notice any lead coloring, which I know to be greyish in color. It was the white ceramic color.

If by ceramic you mean glass cooktop then I would say yes. I have an induction glass cooktop and the set works great.
