Is the blade accessable for resharpening?

There's a youtube video hack of how to replace the blades with standard double-edged razor blades. The baKblade 'cartridge' is just 3 of those in a plastic shell.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.

No, however I plan on experimenting with the blades when mine go dull. The inside of these blades are standard double edged safety razor blades. The blades inside have a brand new side that is not being utilized. The black plastic housing is glued in place. I took it apart last night with a flat head screwdriver, and to my surprise, the Mercer blades that fit my safety razor are the exact size of the ones they use in the Bakblade. I damaged some of the teeth breaking it apart, so, next one, I will attempt to heat the glue with a blow dryer first that way I can separate the housing first with a plastic shim, then replace the blades since I have many. I'll report back if I can successfully swap the blades. No, however I plan on experimenting with the blades when mine go dull.

No, blades are molded into plastic and can't be removed or sharpened.baKblade works the best and completely worth the price!

Negative....it resembles a disposable razor....when blades finally dull, you remove dull blade from handle slide on the new one.

There is an adapter available from porter cable that will allow other blades to be used if that is what you mean. I have it, but haven't used it.

i have used my trimmer for 5 months but have not experienced any dulling of the blades. black&decker; only refers to removing a nick in the blade not anything about resharpening the entire blade. they do mention that the blades are made of high quality hardened steel , with normal usage will not require resharpening. for repair , replacement parts , or warranty assistance the phone number i have is 1-800-544-6986 or blackanddecker.com . i hope this will help.

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.

if you loosen the screws sufficiently, I suppose the blade could be opened by flipping the knife. but if the screws are 'factory' setting, or you tighten them when needed, you WILL have to use your fingers to open it.

Yes. The blade is included. It's ready to plug in and use when you receive it.

Absolutely not, it is a carbide sharpener, plus the blades are replaceable.

yes. there's a small lever on the back side and if you apply pressure the blade will flick open. The blade is spring loaded. It's ideal for one-hand blade usage. This is a great knife!

No, but the illustrations in the book are good. I didn't have any trouble and I use it frequently. There is a short clip in the comments on Amazon that show how to remove the blades. Enjoy!

yes you can but you will have to reverse the blade and you may want to get a longer blade so that it stays in the guide of the box.Good luck.

yes you could actually cut some things, but it isn't intended for a "battle ready blade", it is however made very nicely, a reverse katana is cool, I like the way it flows, If I were you, I'd enjoy it on the wall, not as a weapon.

No, not without an adapter. I haven't found an adapter yet so I haven't been able to use the blade. Don't waste your money like I did.

It's a folder....not a fixed blade so probably nothing in regular production. You could try www.phlster.com. They do some custom stuff (usually by walk in) and they're in Philly.

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.

I don't know and I don't think you can but it looks very durable that will last. I don't think you can find blade replacements either as it would be to hard to install. I don't use it that frequently as yet but I am happy with it. I recommend it for the price but be aware the it comes with the adaptor connected that it is from another country so you will need to buy from a cheap bargain stores an adaptor connection to suit our Aussie power points.

Yes you can. It is extremely easy to flip open since there is a lever sticking out that you press with your thumb to open the blade. This knife was horrible because i only used it once to cut cardboard and it broke right away the blade fell off this is a piece of crap from china so if u are going to buy this then it will most likely break within the next few weeks

Yes, the adapter allows the use of other blades/ accessories. I have not needed it yet, but have tested it with Dremel blades and it works fine.
