Is it possible to sharpen these? I bought mine in 2010 and it's definitely dull now

It depends on how much of the edge is gone. If they can be rehoned it would require special sharpening materials and considerable experience. I would recommend replacing them.

I don't think you can sharpen the blade. I think it would need replacement if you were to dull the blade. I've cleaned over four hundred fish on my original blade and still goinig. I will never use anything else!!!

I haven't used the sharpener, I bought the knife set a few months ago and they are still really sharp.

I personally have never had them sharpened. You may want to send email to company to ask.

I bought the knives as a gift for my daughter. I was very disappointed in their cutting ability. I don't know if sharpening them would have even helped! I have Cutco knives which I purchased at least 40 years ago and I have never had to sharpen 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.

Not really. They come out just as sharp for me. Try both sides of the sharpener.

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

I am sure it would dull over time. Not sure how it would sharpen. Ours is still going strong.

You cannot sharpen the blades - this is why this is a $40 tool and not a $240 tool.However I've had mine for something like 4 or 5 years now, I use it regularly, and it is still super scary sharp. So ... you probably won't ever need to sharpen it in normal household use.

Enid, I recently bought mine a few months ago, so I'm no help. But maybe a Williams and Sonoma or a Sur La Tab can help. They sharpen knives so maybe....! Or you could try to contact the place where you bought it. Hope you find the answer you're looking for. When you do I would love to hear it!! Lori

Some stainless steel blades are extremely difficult to sharpen. Try using the medium grit (brown) stones more... This may help some

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.

You can sharpen them, but it will grind away a bit of the serrations each time, depending on which set of wheels your using that can cause your serrated blade to end up not so serrated after a while.

I used one for years before replacing it, for $10. seems worthwhile. If you really want to though, then the same way you'd sharpen most knives/scissors. or with a wet rock. go nuts.

I've never tried to sharpen them. I have sharpened other bits and blades etc. You would want to sharpen from the hole side only. I would imagine a dremel would work fine though.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.
