Do the blades come sharpened?

The blades do not come sharpened. I went to sports authority and had them sharpened for five dollars..

I don't think they are. I just got them and I was expecting sharp blades and found there are brand new but not sharp at all. These do not serve my need at all. Either I send them back or find someone to sharpen them, I clearly cannot use these blades as they are!

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

I'm not sure since I haven't had that issue so far. Have you tried to take them to a local hardware store to see if they can be sharpened? Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

Yes these knives can be sharpened. The only one I've not tried to sharpen is the serrated knife. I purchased the sharpener along with the knife set and it does a great job. Love the set.

Yes, they came very sharp! I love them and use them all the time...they have stayed sharp.

Yes, they did come ready to use. I found that they did not keep their sharp edge as long as others I have purchased; however, at the price they were okay.

Yes. The blades have two edges and can be flipped around when the first set of edges starts to dull.

Of course they do. Friction will eventually dull even SS edges. The friction of cutting any hot meats will do it more quickly. I sharpen mine using a manual ceramic sharpener. These knives are a good deal for their price.

The ones I got were sharp. Actually used last 1/2 of season without having to sharpen. They appear to hold the edge pretty good.

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file. HTH, Robert

They are really sharp to start out with and they last a pretty long while. I'm not sure if they can be sharpened, although if they can't be sharpened I'm sure anyone could just replace the blades on then with new ones. I love these knives. Hope that helped in some way or another.

They were sharpened, but not completely. I would take them in before first use.

No, the pencils we ordered had to be sharpened (which is a lot of work for all those pencils, so we bought a nice counter-mount sharpener). Hope that helps. - Wayne

Yes these will need to be sharpened at some point in their life as all do at some point. These however have maintained a very good edge over the past 18 months we have had them.

Yes, they can be sharpened to your likening. But make sure you know what you are doing, you could ruin the blade.
