From what I hear there are places where you can sharpen this kind of knives. But I don't know if it would be possible to do it at home.

honestly this knife comes very sharp and stays that way for a while. I would either take it to a local knife sharpener or just use typical sharpening methods

It comes very sharp and i havent needed to sharpen it even after constant us for a few months.I would say that yes at some point when you sharpen it,it will take a small layer of the coating of near the blade.

Not being a professional chef, I can only say that sharpness depends on your use of the knife and your tolerance for a dull blade. I doubt that any knife will stay sharp for 2-3 months if it is used regularly: for my part, I split chickens with mine and sharpen every 3 days or so, since I want the knife to slice a tomato perfectly as well as whack up frozen meat. The few pro kitchens I've seen have a sharpening station always ready for use, so keep your stone handy and use it. If you want something better, the real pro-grade knives start around $200 each.

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for it. It's fairly inexpensive and the easiest sharpening method. As far as not needing to sharpen it because it has a "SpyderEdge," that's total nonsense. It's a blade. Blades dull with use. Blades need to be sharpened.

If it is not serrated, I imagine you could sharpen it, but why? It is already very sharp,cuts any veggie. Mine has not lost any sharpness. If you do sharpen it, take care!

The blades are very difficult to sharpen, I suggest new blades. I have had 3 of these knives and the trigger has broken before the blades need to be replaced.

You may be using too much pressure on it. It requires very minimal pressure to sharpen a knife. Most sharpeners will bog down with excessive pressure. Try a very light touch with the blade.

when there is no more drag on the blade you are sharpening.the groves that are cut into the rod get worn to the point they become smooth.im not sure if you can " sharpen the sharpener " or notit would be best if you would call one of the blade manufacturers and find out for sure .otherwise its time to replace it

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

I feel the same way I am going to just buy a knife sharper here on amazon. It is suggested to keep a knife sharp run it a few times on a knife sharpener after every use.

Haven't had to sharpen it. It shouldn't need to be sharpened for some time unless you are really hard on the knife. I have used a leather strop to touch up blade and hone after use. When you buy the knife, it comes with sharpening recommendations on the box.

Due to the convex edge on this knife, the best method I am aware of is to affix various grits of sandpaper to a mouse pad and sharpen like that. This edge is a little tougher to sharpen, but the trade-off is that it is a more durable edge.Here's a video on someone making the sharpener in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDsoLkonV6c

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

I looked in the manual and it says that the warranty is not covered by "routine maintenance items such as lubricants, blade sharpening". That leads me to believe you can sharpen the blades.

I never put mine in the dishwasher and it stayed sharp a long time. Then I tried sharpening it with a Henckels knife sharpener. Didn't do a bit of good. So I use a sharpening steel. That is one of those round things with a handle on it. Now I am looking for a professional knife sharpening person at the local farmers market. Using the sharpening steel it is still the best knife in my kitchen.
