Can you use this to sharpen the Kai Pure Komachi 2 knives ?

Should be fine. Those are steel blades and 16 degree angle, which is what this sharpener is for.

Save your money, and go to a store , like Sportsman Warehouse, and buy their yellow knive sharpener for $3.99. You will have to spend about 20 minutes at first to get the right angle on your blade, but then it's a piece of cake.I have a whole set of knives like you have, and I sharpen them almost everytime I use them. Takes about 10 seconds after you get the right angle.

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.

Don't know. I'm using it for the Swiss Victorinox knives which have an Asian edge, at least the angle. But I think they aren't sharpened on one side only like a lot of Japanese knives.

Yes. Small or large sized blades, the two grits on this stone can take literally any straight edged blade you choose to sharpen. Use the fine grit to hone the edge slightly or put the finishing touches on the blade. Use the courser grit to repair nicks and prepare the edge for the finer grit polishing stage. I have used it for my Swiss Army 2" packet knife and the stone does the job.

Yes you can and quite well. The big thing is getting used to the sharpener and getting your technique down. I hope this helps.

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

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

From what I hear there are places where you can sharpen this kind of knives. But I don't know if it would be possible to do it at home.

Get the shun whetstone, and youtube some videos on how to use it. Then you're going to need a honing steel, I recommend the shun one because it's designed for their blades... I wouldn't do it any other way because machines and "professional" knives sharpening companies aren't going to take the time to sharpen the knife properly and in the long run you'll shorten your cleavers blade / life .

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.

only if there is no other choice.... no disrespect to this tool but IF you have a GENUINE katana, you do not want to defile it with any small sharpening tool. Even If you have a fake katana, you should get a proper stone to apply proper sharpening .... so short answer is.... NO

ill answer in two parts. firstly.. yes.. this kit CAN sharpen knives. secondly.. you don't want this kit because the plates bend, come unglued, and the material wears off. if you just want a quick cheap solution for a few knives go for it..otherwise, spend your money on something a bit more durable.

You probably could but it wouldn't be my first choice. Something like the DMT diamond hone would probably work better. Works very well for knives though.

Yes, I have sharpened a 3-1/2 inch bladed knife on mine and it worked great. The one issue I can see is that if the knife is too small then you run the risk of scrapping your hand on the stone.

I would like to know the answer to this question, too. The answer by Ms. Ledbetter doesn't do it. Does anyone know if this will sharpen santoku knives?

Yes, you can but you might consider getting the Shun sharpening steel. The Shun knife blade is set up on a particular angle The Shun steel has a built in guide to set the knife at exactly the angle the knife has from the factory. I should also say that a few swipes on the Shun steel really makes a difference, aligning the edge and removing small imperfections without doing damage to the blade.

Yes, this will sharpen all kinds of blades even recurves like on a kukri. As far as I'm concerned, the worksharp is the only way to sharpen a karambit blade! It does make short work of sharpening.

Hi, I bought the sharpener and have used it on both Global and Wustholf knives to great success, best if you finish with the Wusthof steel afterwards.

I don't see why this sharpener wouldn't work for other knives also. It simply consists of 3 ceramic grinding wheels of different grit. Global is a company which produces knives.
