They say to use a 1500 grit Japanese whetstone. I've been following the instructions on ehow.com. So far., no problems.

Have not had to sharpen yet - after several months, but if they become dull, I plan to just buy a new one since they are so reasonable

The AccuSharp1-001 will certainly work with the Pure Komachi, as it is not extremely hard. Not the best way to get your knives sharp, but works well enough and is fast.

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.

Yes ,It will ,providing that the edge on that knife uses a asian style edge of 15 degrees. The sharpener does a decent job. When you sharpen a knife put a peice of paper below the sharpener. and dont forget to wash the knife.

I use it on my henckels and it works great. Just Google "knife sharpening with a whetstone". YouTube also has a lot of videos that will help you on " HOW TO". Just search same as google. (Coarse is always used first).

My experience with this sharpener is that it will not sharpen any edge. I returned the AccuSharp I purchased because it dulled (and possibly ruined) the edge of the knife I attempted to sharpen with it. Not recommended but your experience may be different.

This tool doesn't really sharp and despite what the description says the process that it performs is called honing. When you sharpen, like with a whetstone, it puts a sharp edge on it but the edge may be rough on certain edges or tip from one side to the other so the knife doesn't appear to be a sharp is actually is. This tool gets all the sharp edge facing the same direction so that the knife can cut much better it's not actually sharpened. You really need to use a whetstone every so often to sharpen and then use this almost every time you use the knife to keep it cutting its best.

it sharpened one of my newer scalloped edge knives, but i can't answer on the surrated ones. call the company directly and i'm sure they will answer that question.

I haven't found a knife that it doesn't sharpen. I actually have had knifes made for me that I sharpen on mine.Besides that you have 30 days to return it if it doesn't work the way you want it! STEW

Yes, the carbide sharpener and the diamond stone will put a sharp edge on a dull knife, then the ceramic rods will hone the edge and keep it sharp when used regularly. I leave it out on the counter top and touch up Kershaw folder almost daily. You can take it with you since it folds up nicely.

FYI... here is what Wusthof said:Hi, Serrated edge knives actually never need to be sharpened. The way the blades are made, the part that needs to stay sharp never hits a cutting surface so it should not ever go dull. Using a serrated edge knife on the 2904-7 knife sharpener would damage it, so I do not recommend trying it. Regards, Lauren info@wusthof.comWusthof-Trident Inc333 Wilson AvenueNorwalk, CT 06854

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.

The Diamond Hone is used for sharpening the blade on the slicer not cutting anything.It will sharpen the blade razor sharp.

The Accusharp packaging specifically notes that it is NOT designed for sharpening scissors. My understanding is that knives & scissors are sharpened at different angles. However, they do offer an Accusharp Shear Sharp that IS designed for scissors that is available on Amazon for about $9. Hope that I have helped!

When you determined what you are going to use, share the results with everyone here. I've been pondering the same question relative to the Chaos that I purchased. Mine came deadly sharp out of the box so I'm not in a hurry to do any honing on it just yet. I love the Lansky System and use that on all my other blades with excellent results (see my review of that product). No sure if Lansky would work on THIS blade though.

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.
