My $5.00 ceramic knife has lost it's razor edge after about 6 months
of daily use. I like the knife and will purchase more ceramic
knives and get better quality. But, for $5 it was a good
introduction. I looked on the web and attempted to sharpen it with
the fine/coarse "Smith's" diamond sharpener I have that is about 1"
x 4" and has served me well. I only worked on the knife for a few
minutes and since I didn't know what I was doing and afraid of doing
damage, I stopped. What's the method to correctly sharpen ceramic
knives?

Diamond abrasives will sharpen ceramic knives ! They use diamond
wheels to sharpen them in the first place.
