Are the blades stand alone or are they laminated to the teeth on the guard? What I'm getting at is it possible to sharpen the blade?

They are laminated to the teeth.. Use it in the shower.. The blades last longer if you use it when you wet shave..

I don't see a way to sharpen the blades as the comb is built in. I get about 6 or 7 shaves per blade.

You can't sharpen the blade, they are fixed attached, but I get about 8-10 shaves, if you tap out the hair and rinse with water

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.

Peter C., Hello. I have not done that YET but, I hope I can sharpen the blades a couple times. Maybe 10. Good luck. Sorry my answer is Not good. Maybe next time,I can benefit.Pamela

You can sharpen them however you want. That said, to protect the integrity of the knife you should stick to a traditional japanese whetstone and honing steel. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself Shun will sharpen them for free so long as you pay for shipping. Hope that helps!

The image on this item is not correct. The image at ridgid.com shows the current model. I have the current model, and at least both the stand and blade guard have been updated. The rest looks the same, but can't be sure.

Yes, you are correct. There are tiny serrations on the edge of the blade and it was necessary to further sharpen the blades using a simple trick of cutting aluminum foil, overall I am quite satisfied with the blades especially at the price I purchased.

if you read the description it says they are serrated. I don't think you can sharpen serrated blades.

I don't think you would want to sharpen them. I have purchased a dozen of them and never sharpened any of them. I actually like it better when that point is gone.

Very carefully... That is the downside to these types of blades. They're beautiful, and highly functional, but a bear to sharpen. I would get a smith sharpening rod. Its not ideal, but it can go places that an arkansas stone can't.

Contact Gerber and show them that there is no blade. Or, you could sharpen it yourself..

I bought a replacement blade, used a flat barber's sanding block to sharpen the face and manually filed in between the blade teeth. I assume no liability for this practice as it not recommended by the manufacturer. The blade is fixed and cannot be adjusted any closer.

I just got my planer a month ago, so I can only say the following: I believr the blades are disposable but are two edged so turn them over when one side is dull. Haven't bought new blades yet. Possibly check the Dewalt website.

They have a terrific guarantee policy: http://www.tweezerman.com/free-sharpening/ I haven't had mine sharpened; just bought another because everyone in my family has their own now! They do require sharpening, and can get out of alignment if dropped. Otherwise, they work great!

You can sharpen the blade! I pulled the blade out and took it to my local knife sharpener. He did it for a few bucks and it's good as new! You can also pull the blade out and use your blade straightener on it too.

If this doesn't sharpen it nothing will ..... you can take the guard off and sharpen anything.

serrated blades can be sharpened. Just get a Diamond sharpener for serrated blades. I got mine at Lowe's
