I use alcohol to keep mine clean and use my Lansky sharpening kit to sharpen them. You can only do it 2 maybe 3 times before it shaves to much metal and they don't come together close enough anymore

I don't know. I gave them as a gift. I have another brand that I use daily and haven't had to sharpen them yet.

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.

You can touch them up a tad yourself, but to send them off and have them professionally sharpened, pricewise, is about the same as buying new. When mine go bad, I cut them into 3" pieces and use them as scrapers.

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

Edge doesn't need to be that sharp but if a concern then a rotating grinding/honing stone with the blade held to provide a bevel. Kinda heavy to hold in position though so a bracing system may be needed.

I don't think you can sharpen them, we ordered new ones from the manufacturer.

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

i have had mine for several months now and still have not needed to sharpen them.However they are made of a steel like metal that could be sharpen although I doubt that they will need it. I always store mine in the holders provided.

Doesn't need to be sharpened. I have had mine for over 10 years and it still works fine. Bought this one for a friend who used mine and couldn't believe how easy it was to use.

Yes, you can sharpen them with a commercial sharpener or hone the edges. I have read online that people have sent them in for sharpening and the CostCo website says that "all non-serrated knives are hand-sharpened on a whetstone, and finished on a Japanese leather wheel for the best quality cutting edge" so that would probably work too. Good luck!

You can sharpen them, I'm guessing until the end. I've only had to sharpen mine one or two times.

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

I would say no. The blades have to be perfect and with special sharpening equipment you would not keep them perfect.

I have never known of these needing sharpening and my family has used them for generations. They work only for hard cheeses.
