The name says Global, but Global doesn't make the sharpener. You can't even find it on the Global website. I ended up buying a different sharpener after I saw how shoddy this one was.

I really can't answer that question because I'm not familiar with that type of Knife... Sorry! As for just your everyday sharpening of regular knives I must say that it's just O.K., I do better with my hand held sharpener!

Nope, any regular quality sharpener will work fine. The long point sharpener is pretty cool but there is a 2 step process.

Yes ...it is a very nice manual sharpener ...actuaLy smaller blades are easier to control...

I would not recommend it for that. I'm a sushi chef and I sharpen 8 to 12 inch knives on it. That is about the maximum size knife that you can comfortably sharpen on this stone.

Hey Dan, The Komachi's ship with the blade sharpen to percise, very thin measure's. Funny thing that I've experienced is if I use a different sharpener, it never works as good as the one I used originally. I'll go back to the original and I've got a shrp blade again. So I would imagin that if that was the only sharpener you use it would work, but I would use it very delicate. Another fit and very inexpensive sharpener that will work is the Rada Knives sharpener.

That'll work just fine. It doesn't hold an edge very well, so constant sharpening will be needed. Any one of those handheld sharpeners with that sharpening V will be quickest and easiest way to go.

Yes, you can, if you handle it correctly, especially large knives and kitchen tools. For REAL precision, please check out Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction SharpenerIt is pocket size and is absolutely awesome. I collect these things, and that one blew me away.The problem here is the sharpening ANGLE, and if you are not precise it will just go it's way. Another important point is HOW you finish your job, INTO or AWAY from the blade. Lots of info on YouTube. Be SHARP !

I would not recommend it. I'm not sure if it would do good or harm to the knife. They recommend these sharpeners for knives made in Japan, with a certain blade angle. I think you would be safe just going with a normal knive sharpener for this.

I wouldn't use a PP1 to sharpen this knife. use an Arkansas stone, a fine-grain grinding wheel or a butcher's rod-sharpener.

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

I am not familiar with Global knives but unless the knife has only one side to sharpen it should work very well. Yes, I have used the second slot only. Since I have had this sharpener for a short time I have found it to be avery good, and safe item. I would highly recommend it.very

When you turn the bottom knob on the globe, it closes or opens the sharpening blades. Depending on the knife, you could adjust it to sharpen a thick or thin blades.

Depending on how sharp it is. If it is really dull then you will need a wet stone, shun have one with 2 sides for sharpening and one for honeing. If it is still quite you can just get a dimond steel the sharpen it after a couple of uses, Thats what I do with my old shun 25cm chefs knife and ive had that for 9 yrs.

I used it on my Shun chef knife with no problems. One degree is not critical compared to sharpening by hand, where you might end up with a lot worse.

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

Should be no problem.I sharpen serrated knives all the time.I assume you mean knife height is 1.5 inches,if so will do a great job.
