Do the blades ship sharpen and balanced?

The best answer I can give is yes. They are ready to install. The best blades I have used on my Deere tractor/mower. Heavy Duty.

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.

I believe so. The handle seems symmetrical and western knives are sharpened on both edges. Sushi knives are ground flat on one side and angled on the other.

Of course, they are just steel knives with a colorful coating. Anywhere that the sharpening stones contact the blade the coating will be removed, so one should be careful to sharpen properly.

Yes, they are well balanced. I love my Portmeirion Botanic Garden flatware. They are absolutely beautiful and elegant.

I've just purchased mine this year so I haven't had to sharpen the blades. but there is a specialized tool for it that is pulled along the blade. That all I know about it.

No, they are just decorative and dull, though they can be sharpened as the steel is rather thick.

Apparently the blades are of a slightly different formulation of metal in order to better maintain a quality cutting edge. The blades are surprisingly sharp for standard SS place settings. We love ours after about six months.

No they're dull. And the straps that are on the sleeves that you put the swords in are very loose and there's no way to tighten them. However, the swords are awesome! Really badass! If you want to them to be sharp then you'll have to sharpen them yourself.

No, the blades are not adjustable however they can be removed for sharpening.

I just ordered them but from the you tube videos that I watched they say they are balanced before they are shipped.

Yes, they can as they are made of quality steel and fit in sharpening tools.

Yes they are. And when you order another container for grain grinding or whatever, it contains a blade.

Yes they are Just get a pack of replacement blades The tips are very strong. They did an amazing job on my buck. And the blades were still razor sharp

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