Yes, you can use the honing tool with the green knives. This was a question that was asked when they first came out. There was a knife info sheet that used to be on CC (might still be there - IDK) that stated that the honing tool could be used with them.I use it on mine all the time. Haven't noticed any wearing away of the green stuff.BUT - just note, there isn't a lifetime warranty on the green knives. So, if anything should happen to them, and it's past the warranty date, it's not going to matter....they are still out of warranty.

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I highly recommend using a honing tool for your green knives. Not only will it help maintain the sharpness and longevity of your knives, but it will also ensure safe and efficient cutting in the kitchen. I personally use the Pampered Chef Knife Sharpener, which has a honing tool built in for convenience. I hope this helps with your decision. Happy cooking!
