IN response to whether this can be used with other knives this is what I recevied from home office Test kitchens

Unfortunately, the honing tool is intended only for pampered chef
forged cutlery. We cannot guarantee results with other knives. You may risk
ruining them because the angle of the ceramic sharpeners is
specifically designed for the pampered chef forged cutlery blades.

Thanks for the info. I had the same question posed to me at a recent show. I can now let the host know the answer.
 
And the same goes for other honing tools...we shouldn't use our PC knives with those.
