Yes,it sure sharpens a 12 inch kitchen knife.Depending on how long the sword is.John.

I would say that it would sharpen an axe. I would say that if you were going for a razor edge on a fine sword, you would be better off with a Japanese water stone. This is not a finishing stone.

It is possible, but it wont be easy because of the length of the blade. I have routinely sharpened 12" scimitars on 12" stones as well as a machete (20" maybe?). If you really want to get the sword razor sharp after working it on a stone, finish it by working it over on a glass bottle. I did this with the machete and was able to shave with it when I was finished.

Yes but to make sharper .. YouTube a video on how.. as simple as raising the blade closer to the edge

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

No, not unless you have a special sharpener that is made for that type of bade.

I don't think so. The sharpening "steel" is in the form of a v. You need the WorkSharp Knife And Tool Sharpener!

The blade was dull upon arrival. It's more for display and usage as a prop than anything, but I'd assume it can be sharpened.

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

AS far as I know you can not sharpen it. I had mine for longer than 5 yrs. I also used it almost every day! You should only be using it to slice vegetables. I broke the hand the blade was fine.

I don't think I would use it, I have only used it on straight knives, I use a diamond hone instead, or for that expensive of a knife it might pay to have it sharpened

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

Yes it is very sharp, really, be careful !!!. You can as I did take it to a skilled sword sharpener, and if he's good he will make it razor sharp.

Depends on your skill level. It is shaped like a small lawn mower blade; if you have successfully sharpened one of those, you can sharpen this.

Yes it can be sharpened. It doesn't come completely blunt in the box though, the edge is sharp-ish.

Yes, if it already has an edge on it and you are good at sharpening with a stone.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

I would think so. Im pretty sure I saw other websites selling this product for just that. Basically if its steel and not serated, you can use any sharpening stone for it

I have never used it to sharpen scalpels, etc but I do not see why not -- other than eventually wearing away the metal. The finishing triangular rods are very fine. The big advantage of the sharpener is that you gently pull the blade toward you with the blade straight up & down - so you don't have to try to guesstimate the proper degree angle. It's very effective and the mirror finish on the grind is obvious.
