OXO Knife Sharpener

No, this sharpener is designed specifically for standard straight-edge kitchen knives. Using it on serrated blades will likely damage the teeth of the knife.

This model does not feature a non-slip base. You will need to hold it firmly against your countertop with one hand while sharpening to ensure it stays in place.

No, the sharpening angle is fixed. It is pre-set to a standard angle that works well for most common kitchen knives, making it very simple to use but less customizable for specialized blades.

This sharpener is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid submerging it in water or putting it through the dishwasher, as this can damage the internal components.

While it will sharpen most kitchen knives, it is generally better suited for standard Western-style blades. If you own high-end Japanese knives with a specific, acute edge angle, you may prefer a whetstone or a sharpener designed for those specific angles to avoid altering the blade's geometry.
