Using Pampered Chef Knives on Other Blades: Answers Here

Does anyone know if you can use this on other knives, not PC?

I think they did not recommend it as it is specifically designed for our knives. From the PIG:

Honing Tool – This tool was custom-designed for use with our Forged (non-serrated) Cutlery. The ceramic rods are set at the correct angles to hone The Pampered Chef® Forged Cutlery (excluding the serrated 9” Bread Knife).* It is not for use with other brands of cutlery. Use the tool to maintain alignment of the edge as often as you desire. It can be done as often as daily! It is good to routinely hone the edges to keep them properly aligned and sharp. Professional knife sharpening is only needed every one to two years (depending on usage) and should be done when honing does not seem to be enough. Knives should be clean prior to honing and pacing in cases. The Honing Tool has a soft-grip, non-slip base for added safety and a retractable counterguard that protects surfaces during the honing process.

I do use it on my other knives, I got the tip from my senior director. It does great on our self sharpening knives, that I never found to be really great! JMHO! And now those knives are sharp and I use them more often!
I think that they have to say that about the honing tool, just in case, but again that's JMO!

I've used mine on other knives. What I like about it is that it truly is a honing tool and not a sharpening tool. Sharpening should be done by professionals only, once every year or two (depending on how often you use your knives). Honing, on the other hand, should be done every time you use your knife (if you use it every day, then hone it every day), and the honing tool makes it very easy, unlike those long, awkward honing steels.
