Yes, they did come ready to use. I found that they did not keep their sharp edge as long as others I have purchased; however, at the price they were okay.

The blade did not look sharpened (as it was painted over) but it did come sharpened and works well. I am happy with it.

not really sharp, but ok for mulching dry leaves and that is what I got them for at this timre. Will put good edge on them in the spring

No, they do not come sharpened. But they are such great pencils that sharpening them for the first time use is totally worth it!

Yes, we have sharpened scissors with this sharpener. They are a great product. We have bought them for every member of our family.

Ours came quite sharpened, but needed sharpening about 4 months later, and noticed an noticeable improvement in my girl's skating... Im pretty sure they can be used right away... Just check them in a couple of months maybe...Hope this help... We really loved these ones!!!

With the way the blade is configured, I don't think the blades could be sharpened without it being a very long and tedious procedure. After cutting back some jasmine that secretes a sticky liquid at the cut, I wiped off the blade with water and a towel and then sprayed the blades with WD40 and found that this improved the proformance of the blades.

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.

Yes they can be sharpened but I have not had to do anything to them yet except wash them. They are still very very sharp.

Yes, this item came with grinding blades. I needed to provide my own cutting blades.

The blade bar was connected. From what I can remember everything came ready to go. I did order several lawn tools around the same time so don't be mad at me if I am wrong! Haha

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. No razor comes ready to shave straight out of the box. In fact, I ordered almost the same razor and when I sent it off to get honed I was informed that one side of the bevel was crooked so it couldn't be sharpened. $75 down the drain. If you want a decent beginner razor that comes sharpened from the company, I would refer you to google the website Straight Razor Designs. I ordered one from them and they pre hone it before shipping it to you. Hope this helps.

Mine did. There ok but I switched them out with blades but I guess the answer is yes they do

Yes. I sharpened a pair just this morning. The scissor blades need to open wide enough to accommodate the height of the sharpener, or if your blades come apart, that would even be easier.

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.

Yes. I have had this set for about a year and they haven't needed to be sharpened. However, I've had one of the pink chef's knives for several years and it takes sharpening well.

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