Once you get it sharpened you might try using a honing steel after each use. A couple of swipes and the knife stays very sharp. It will postpone having to have the knife resharpened.

I have a Chef's Choice, but since I have different styles (Japanese, Western, ceramic), it really made no sense to use it any more. Buy a "honing" or "sharpening" steel to keep it in good shape. The names are a misnomer--a rod will never hone or sharpen a blunt knife, only keep it in shape. Eventually, however, you'll have to get them sharpened by a pro, but only every two to four years if you take care of it. Always wash in cold or lukewarm water, not hot; immediately rinse off after cutting anything acidic, such as peeling an orange or skinning a tomato; and steel it. Perfetto.

We like the hand sharper offered by Amazon. Works really well. It's an Accusharp (white with blue handle $10)

I have a Chef's Choice 130 which is an excellent machine which includes three options: sharpening, honing and stropping. Unless you are a commercial user, you may not need to actually sharpen your "already dulled out" knife. You may only need to "Hone" the blade to realign the edge {remember, sharpening a blade does actually take a microscopic amount of the blade's steel off the knife}. A honing "steel" may resolve your dullness issue. Good Luck.

I have a knife sharpener that came with Cutco knives many years ago that works fine. It is just a manual sharpener with wheels in it that you pull the knife through. I would imagine any one like that would work.

One of the best and least expensive (about $10) sharpeners is made by Accusharp. There are many similar sharpeners (ones that have a carbide v-groove) but the Accusharp works the best.

I use my Chef's Choice 300 to sharpen all my knives. The curved blade into the hilt makes it a little more difficult with the electric sharpener, but it works well enough that I don't have any complaints. Cook's Illustrated recommends the Chef's Choice 130, but it is a bit more pricey.

I use the Chef's Choice, model 130LE, Professional Sharpening Station, Limited Edition. I believe you can use any similar models. Americas Test Kitchen recommends the model 130 in their 2014 TV Companion Cookbook. They also recommend the knife you have.

The "Chef's Choice Pronto Santoku/Asian Manual Knife Sharpener by EdgeCraft" is recommended by Cook's Illustrated for Victorinox blades. Victorinox uses the same 15* blade angle found in Asian blades (instead of the standard 20*-22* angle of most Western blades). So this sharpener is designed for the Victorinox.

cutco offers free sharpening service with their knives, I have this sharpener and would recommend it but would not use it on cutco knives.... it may void their warranty.

I'll spend a good half hour stone sharpening it, and use a sharpening steel daily on it. After a stone sharpening, it goes dull in less than a week. Not sure if its factors I control (storage, improper use of stone, etc.) Or if the knife just goes dull that fast anyways. Yes, I use it in a professional kitchen. Its why I bought this knife, so I could have a decent one at work.

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

I have found the knife sharpener helpful and easy to use. However, it is not going to turn dull knives into sharp knives. If they are really dull you should get them sharpened first and use to maintain blade. I think that Global knives are very expensive knives. Hope this helped.

I love mine, but had the same problem...I had an old SPYDERCO shapner, a base with two "V" shaped rods coming out of it and it works perfecly. Razor sharp when I'm done...this comes in a pouch and doesn't take up enough room in my pack to worry about. This sharpens anything, even fish hooks. I believe you can still buy these. If not, get a flat whet stone. That's the best help I can give you. R / Mack

It's a fact of life that knives dull with use. I use these knives plenty and I ordered a sharpener with mine and use it very often. These are super knives and you will want to keep them always as sharp as when they were new.

Use the French Chef Knife and make sure to sharpen every 5-6 times of use. I can feel when I'm having to push through foods and it means it's dulling. I have a Fiskars ceramic knife sharpener which works perfectly with these knives.

I got a hold of the company directly and they sent me another battery. The first one died about 3 months after getting it and so did the new batteries. Love the knife but the batteries are no good. You can try ebay. Someone may have some extras.

Personally I just use the spyderco sharpmaker. Seen here - http://m.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=77 It works beautifully to sharpen knives, among other things as well. It's on a amazon for just under $60. Seen here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000Q9C4AE

ChefsChoice Diamond hone sharper 4623 has worked fine for me or Lansky Sharpeners, www.lansky.com

the item shown here is about $20.00, so its time to replace it. for 20 dollars there will be no more question. your knives will be sharper also.

You have several options. You can directly contact Amazon. Go to Help/Contact Us and either e-mail or call them. Tell them a knife is missing and ask them if they can replace the knife or if you must send them the entire cutlery block set for a refund or exchange. Personally, I would choose the other option first. I would contact Chicago Cutlery at www.chicagocutlery.com and go to Warranty at the bottom of their website. You can call or e-mail them, asking them if they can mail you another knife. You may have to provide proof of purchase, which is easy. Simply go to Your Account/Your Orders/Invoice. Print a copy of the invoice, scan the copy and e-mail it to the company, or copy the invoice and paste it into the body of the e-mail. That may work. I'm sorry for the missing knife. I know it must be frustrating. These are really nice knives. I hope my answer helps you. Have a great day

I use the 08800 Presto Knife Sharpener that I got from Amazon which I use on all my knives.

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.com Wusthof-Trident Inc 333 Wilson Avenue Norwalk, CT 06854
