Will this work on serrated blades?

According to the package, you can sharpen serrated blades on the fine side of the sharpener only. However, I would use a serrated combo knife sharpener like this (http://www.amazon.com/Lansky-3143-PS-MED01-BladeMedic/dp/B0085PPSIQ/ref=pd_sim_200_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41SK1bQyxRL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1XY4G6XQJ5VC3THHF9XZ), which handles almost all sharpening tasks. Honestly, the only thing I use serrated blades for is cutting tomatoes and grapes. A serrated edge bites into the tough skin without mashing the delicate fruit and is best when making tomato skin rosettes. I have a great (and inexpensive) Rada tomato knife for that. That way, if it does get dull, I can easily buy a new one. A well-honed blade will cut through everything else easy-peasy.

Can this be used for Japanese knives, which use a 16-17 degree angle as opposed to a 20-22 degree angle? I don't want to ruin my Shun. Thanks.

most knifes are at 15de. not 16 or 17. please check with Buck Knifes and see for your self. never the less after using this sharpener for some time the knife will be at 15 de. Have fun

can I sharpen scissors with it?

Don't even try it unless you want to ruin your scissors! Scissors are considered shears with the sharpened bevel on opposite sides of each blade. Use this sharpener and your scissors may never cut again. In the past, I did jobs using a precision scissors sharpening machine for a commercial drapery company.

Is this work better than conventional Sharpening Steel?

Sharpening steel doesn't remove material from the knife, therefore if a knife is dull, steel will not be able to make it sharp again. The main purpose of the steel is to "shape" the edge of the knife by deforming material along the knife edge to smooth it out. I found this KitchenIQ 50009 is the easiest and cheapest solution to sharpen the knife. However, this tool is designed for the right-handed people in mind. If you are left handed, it'd be a little awkward to use. You need to place this tool on a stable surface and hold it with your left hand. Place the knife in the coarse slot, nearest to the handle, apply little pressure down and pull the knife toward you. (Too much pressure can gouge you knife due to uneven material removal.) Lift the knife up and repeat as many times as you want until you can cut a piece of paper with ease. You should see some metal shaving in this step. Once the knife is sharp, you can use the other slot or steel to hone the knife edge to smooth it out.
