I've been told that I should only need to use the course side a couple times a year because it's like taking the knife to get it sharpened and that I should mainly just use the fine side to avoid taking too much blade off. My knives are very dull so I started with the coarse and will be better at maintaining with the fine.
My mother has Henckels knives. They are a 15 deg blade where Wustof does 14 degree. I used it on one of her older ones with a broken tip there were so many large shavings. If you intend to use this for Henckles, it may take a long time to get it sharp because you are basically changing the angle of the blade.
I've used the standard cutters for Mercer Genesis blades and it works really well, but the metal is a little softer I believe so you need to hone after every use, which is easy enough since that's what the ceramic cutter does. I find if I do a bit of cutting through harder food stuff such as carrots then I have to sharpen the Mercer blades more often. Once again though, this pull through is absolutely wonderful and easy to use so I don't mind using it with those blades. I also have a couple of fillet knives that I use strictly for fish, and I can use the Asian cutters for those blades, and I hone every time I use the blades.
I have a couple of other blades I use with the standard cutters and once again because the metal isn't as good as the Wusthof Classic line, I have to sharpen more often. The point is though, it's easy.
While you're learning to use this, which requires a certain amount of pressure applied with your hand when pulling through, after sharpening and honing, do a paper test, where you pull the blade while pushing down on the edge of paper, to test your edge. This will let you know if you need to do more work, maybe adjust what you're doing, ensuring you're pulling through at a 90 degree angle, etc.... It's easy to use, but you still have to pull a knife through these correctly to have a consistent edge across the length of the blade. When going through paper you should have a clean cut, with no tearing or ragged cutting. It should be a clean cut along the entire blade. That's when you know you're sharpening the entire blade correctly.
Feel free to experiment with different blades, but do know that many blades will not retain such a fine edge very long and you'll at least need to hone on a regular basis. But once again, it takes me about 30 seconds with a few pulls through the ceramic cutter to recondition the edge so for me I don't mind and I like the fine angle (14 degrees) for most my cutting. Many cheaper or older blades were originally set to 20 degrees, so taking it down to 14 degrees is a bit of work. But I also don't have cheap knives. I have some that are less expensive but they're certainly a step up from the bargain knives you buy in many stores, or on Amazon when you see a low cost set.
When most kitchen knives are used in their swim lanes and in a typical household vs commercial use, sharpening is rarely needed. A honing rod is often included with knife sets. It is the honing rod that you'll use to keep the knives performing well the vast majority of the time.
Honing rods do not abrasively remove steel. They simply align the knife edge. The edge of a knife will deform over time. This can be seen under magnification. It is often this that results in the feel of dullness.
When you do need a sharpener, this one is excellent for a sharpener *of it's type*. Safe to use, almost fool proof. Those knowledgeable about knives may recommend using a whetstone instead. They're not wrong. That said, whetstones require a certain amount of technique, take more time and are not as user friendly for the average person.
Note that there are two versions of this. One red for Asian knives and this for German knives. Asian knives tend to be made from harder carbon steel and German knives from softer stainless steel. Both types have their advantages but when sharpening is needed, always check with the manufacturer, ask what they recommend. If your knives came with a manual, definitely read it for care and cleaning instructions.
Bottom line, great sharpener of it's type. It should last for many years if used properly. Happy customer..
