Is it hard steel, could you sharpen it? >:)

My son said no, that you would not want to sharpen it because of the holes in the blade. He said that would likely weaken or break it.

It is hard steel. its fun to play around with and good practice But to sharpen it is gunna take forever trust me i tried lol i hardly done anything to it so i gave up. I ended up getting 2 sharpened knives.

this particular trainer is OK you could sharpen it I'm sure but you got your work cut out for you its very very dull and probably a quarter inch thick. I recommend if you're going to put your money into a good trainer the Baron sons g 10. a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

It's hard, but pretty thick. It would be difficult to get the blade to be even.

More of a honing steel. No diamonds. It's hard, and puts a fine edge on a blade, though.

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.

It is metal so you could try to sharpen it, but why? You might damage the finish and It's supposed to be a toy.

Most likely not, it seems to be made out of quite good material. It will take a lot of sharpening though. The blade is really dull, to the point where its basically a flat surface.

It's not actually made for use. It's not sharp at all and I doubt you would want to sharpen it and lose part of its color

Yes......you can get it sharper if you know what you're doing, but it is sharp out of the box...

It's more of a honing steel ... although with regular use it will keep a REALLY sharp edge on the knives!

Very! A little sharpening will make it better also. That is what I also use it for

Not that I am aware of but I would suggest checking Wusthof's website. It's not terribly rough. The term "sharpening steel" is a bit misleading. This product is intended to hone the blade not reshape/reform the bevel on the blade.

I think so. The knife is reportedly stronger and holds an edge longer but I have not tried to break it or had a need to sharpen it.

To be honest it is kind of sharp. And probably will work just fine, but it depends what you consider as sharp though. As for myself it could be sharpen a little more upon arrival. As it is it could still cut pretty good with right amount of force.

Yes. The hard sheath has "built in" sharpener, which, I am not a fan of. YMMV

It is steel so technically yes, I wouldn't recommend it as you'll nick the blades. And it's rather heavy

Yes it isn't razor sharp when you get it. You can sharpen it but it doesn't remain black.

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

No but I think in the details you can request it to be sharp, I of course thought I'd just sharpen it myself :P
