Can a pinking blade be used instead of a straight blade?

Yes. I just changed my blade to a pinking one and it works great. There is a little magnet under the blade so it won't fall off when you change it.

No the blade is just a straight shape edge. There are holes throught the blade above the edge so what you are cutting does not adhear to the blade.

No. A jigsaw is typically used for rounded and scroll type cutting. Freehand or with a guide. It's not designed for straight cuts that need a lot of accuracy.

Yes you can use the fine side on the wingman blades. I do not recommend using the coarse side on the wingman blades. Also, you should not use this on serrated knives.

You can. But, I wouldn't try cutting anything extreamly firm because you may chip it.

Yes, this can be cut with a hacksaw but cutting and putting in a curved area is not ideal. Best to use on a relative straight area.

I bought a replacement blade, used a flat barber's sanding block to sharpen the face and manually filed in between the blade teeth. I assume no liability for this practice as it not recommended by the manufacturer. The blade is fixed and cannot be adjusted any closer.

It wont necessarily hurt the blade, but the paint on the side of the blade will come off. So if you don't mind a silver edge rather than a black edge, It should be fine.

The edge grind on a thick blade like the LMF is often not symmetrical. You could re-bevel it to a thinner angle, if you were so inclined. However, it's only a problem if it prevents the knife from performing as intended. I doubt that would be the case with this knife.

Not really. You could sharpen the flat side if you use a very low angle. The scalloped side would need a rod type sharpener

You can use the same brand for both blades, but different sizes. As for two different brands you can do that as well so long as it's the proper size.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate! The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

Not ideally. With the correct blade, it could, but you'd risk getting contaminates on all moving parts, which would be difficult to properly sanitize.

Why not, as long as it's a metal tool. but if the hand tool is sharp it might unsharpen it.

Pin end blades work fine for some projects, but they are not available in all sizes or blade types. I switched when I began cutting fretwork because of the need for a blade smaller than the pin. I then tried different blade types and found that some of them eliminated the need for sanding. I REALLY liked that! That said, if the pin end blades are meeting your needs there is no reason to change.
