I recently purchased a bone knife. the blade is dull, but the point is strong. Now I get to my problem. I have a regular knife sharpener, but I am reluctant to use on my bone knife because it was planned for the metal. if I use my knife will damage or weaken the sheet? or I bother to sharpen?
I do not know about bones, but for some of my ceramic blades, DO NOT USE KNIFE SHARPENERS conventional metal! I use a leather strap, apply to the Rouge jewelers and leather strap leaf (as a former barber sharpening a razor on a leather strap).

The knife was one of the first tools used by early humans, and in the last thousands of years its use and design have evolved considerably. Today there are various different types of knives, from a variety of materials, and used as tools for cooking and other purposes. Leta take a look at major types of knives that are currently available.
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel has been used in the manufacture of blades for many years. Carbon steel knives are tough and have a better advantage with little effort. However, carbon steel blades color when in contact with foods that are high in acid, like tomatoes and citrus fruit and leaves should be treated with care to prevent discoloration and corrosion. If they are using carbon steel knives are should wash and dry thoroughly after use. Some box cutter and knife blades are carbon steel.
Stainless Steel
A Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel blades do not discolor or rust, however, are not hard enough to maintain the best advantage. Some knives and blades cutter boxes are made of stainless steel.
High carbon stainless steel
Stainless steel knives of high carbon offer a combination the best attributes of carbon steel sheets and stainless steel. They have the toughness and ability to maintain an advantage and, as stainless steel blades, do not discolor when contact with acidic foods.
Titanium
Titanium blades are made of cast titanium and carbides. Compared with the steel, titanium is lighter, more wear resistant, and has its longest edge. The titanium blade is more flexible than steel, which work best for tasks such as boning and filleting.
Ceramics
Ceramic blades are made of zirconium oxide and aluminum oxide. Although they are much more delicate than steel knives, which tend to maintain their lead to 10 times longer. However, once the blades have dulled, they must be sharpened by a professional.
Plastic
Plastic knife blades are primarily used to prevent vegetables and other items Edible become discolored from the blade of a knife. Plastic sheets are not very sharp and require some force to cut.
Hollow Ground
Knife blades are hollow ground made with a process that combines two separate pieces of metal together. After the pieces are fused, creating a leaf edge chamfered. Despite these leaves are often very sharp edges, the blade lacks the balance and longevity of a taper ground blade. This type of blade is most frequently on the knives that are used less frequently.
Taper low
Taper ground knives are made from a single sheet of metal and ground for cone without spine problems to the forefront. This type of blade can be found on the knives that are used frequently.
There you have it. These are of the most common types of knives that are commonly available. The next time you buy a knife think about how you use the knife and then choose one constructed from materials that best suit their purpose.

Yes, in recent years Kershaw has worked with many great designers like Ken Onion. His knives are visually attractive and of good quality and with proper care should last a lifetime.
