How does it work on knives?

After several coats it will help keep it from rusting. Note: oil your leather sheath also as it will keep it supple and neautralize the salts in the leather, as Ballistol is a vegetable oil.

It's work petty good on knife. It's just smells bad you don't want to use it in any knife in the kitchen.

I have only had this knife sharpener for a short time but it worked great on some very old dull Chicago Cutlery knives. It was very easy to use and very safe. I would recommend it for regular knives and have tossed my old sharpener that was not very sturdy.

I have used it on carbon steel knives, kitchen and utility, with great outcomes. It takes a twice as many passes with those as with the standard stainless but the results are very good. Straight off the machine it'll be near razor sharp. A few passes on a strap or stone brings total razor sharpness. I average about 1 knife per minute when I'm sharpening them to razor sharpness.

Yes, I think it would work. It is very easy to use and does a nice job on all knives also.

It works by simply opening a tool or a blade into place and it "clicks" into place. It's also equally easy to release, you simply push the side button near the blade or tool to unlock it out of place.

I don't know what Shun knives are but there are magnets that position the blade at the correct angle on both sides of the cutting edge. It has worked very well for me. Most of my knives are Henckels. My cleaver is too thick and heavy for an electric sharpener so I use a stone on it.

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.

The more surface area of the knife that touches the magnetic part the stronger the hold. Sometimes knives do fall off, but that's usually when they're too close together and get disturbed when pulling off one next to them. Generally, it works very well.

It didn't work well for me either. I took off a lot of steel shavings using it but it was never razor sharp. Try a stone. I wonder if you run it through their sharpener then a stone if it doesn't sharpen up quick.

Yes this does work on serrated knives. Smooth knives on one side serrated on the other.

Yes. I've used it on knives I've forged black smithing as well as folding pocket knives, kitchen knives, etc.. This has made using a kitchen knife so much better. I can now slice a tomato thinly or dice it easily.

Im sure it would. Its worked on all of my knives so far. I dont see why it would have a problem with yours.

If you don't keep blade moving it could take off to much metal. But because its a belt instead of a stone. its not as easy to remove to much or ruin a knife. The belts only easily sharpen 3 or 4 knives with a couple swipes. You can sharpen more, but its takes more than a couple of swipes through the machine to do it. Hope this helps.

I have never used this product on knives. It does a very good job of loosening burnt gun residue on a handgun especially on my 22 lr. which is a dirty caliber. It's cheap and readily available on line or at a gun store, so give it a try. Depending on your smell, to me I like the aroma, my wife hates it, so I just move my cleaning to another location in the house. It smells like banana oil if that makes sense.
