Can this cheese slicer be sharpened if it loses its edge?

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

Hi Thomas,Despite people using our knives to cut cheese, you cannot use our knives to cut cheese as the blade may snap. Our ceramic knives are made for precision slicing. We advise against cutting hard foods or carving large meats, and any other foods that require you to force the cut. Any excess pressure on the handle or blade may cause damage to the knife. -Shenzhen Knives

I take the back part of the slicer off (the section used to adjust thickness). I then take a pull through kitchen knife sharpener and use the base of the machine to stabilize it. Turn it on and let the move the sharpener closer to the blade until it starts to grind. You can repeat the process if you have coarse and fine sharpeners. Alternatively, they do make sharpeners for these which are basically a pull through sharpener shaped like a pen that will fit between the depth gauge and still be able to contact the blade. I didn't waste my money on that because I already have the other type of sharpener.

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.

I am sorry I can not help you . I do not know the answer I am using the blade the slicer came with as I am afraid to change the blade.... It is very sharp.... good luck

I have found that I do need to stop and start a bit when slicing through a block of cheddar cheese fresh out of the refrigerator (not freezer). This is not a problem at all--just my two cents. Overall, I would recommend this slicer.

It just has one blade, very sharp, but say, parm cheese would just be ground, but soft cheese would probably not work so well

The wire can be adjusted until it actually touches the opposing roller. As to how thin it can actually cut I would imagine it depends very much on the texture of the cheese. I cut sharp cheddar to give 1/16" slices. You need to be careful to keep the roller pressed on the cheese cutting face and use a nice even pressure.

Yes you can. The sloped edge of ceramic is the main sharpener for serrated knives. One can also use the diamond rod, if the serration needs a more aggressive approach.

I am not really sure, but thinking a little on the subject, I wonder if the serated blade might get hung up in the sharpening part? If that happened then you could not use it all? Just a thought????

The blades can't be sharpened, but some sharpeners can replace the cutter for much cheaper than the replacement cost of the whole blade. I send mine to Northern Tails Sharpening, he charges $10 to refurbish 5-in-1 blades.

Your question prompted me to try sharpening a couple bread knives and they did sharpen up. This iis a powerful sharpener and you have to be cateful with rhe sharpened knives afterwards.

You could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

be careful. I sharpened mine with pocket sharpener and it scratched the blade coating of the side of the blade because the blade is so thick. the blade coating is not durable at all

Mine is serrated so it can't be sharpened, but it shouldn't have to be. They call it micro serrated, the teeth are very small and close together. Don't put the blades in the dishwasher or let hard stuff hit them and it should last a long time

Yes. If it is steel it can be sharpened. Your flat edged chisels will see the best results. If you are putting on the edge from bad damage or some such, then use the corse stone and work your way to the medium grit and then fine grit. If you are just honing the edge start with the medium grit. Your rounded tip chisel will require a little more attention to detail but should still give you a good edge. HIH.

The blade is just like a fine cheese grater but I can't imagine how you could sharpen a cheese grater. It does not appear to be disposable to me but I am no expert. I am your everyday DIY'er.
