We're not avid skaters but my daughter was able to wear them right out of the box at a public rink.

No, I received mine in the black box as pictured. However, I paid more for mine...around $65 - $70 ...if I remember correctly. Maybe the box drove the price up! I kept the box incase I need to return it to have it sharpened.

Yes, they can be sharpened! I LOVE a sharp knife, and I sharpen all of my knives regularly! Kuhn rikon sharpener is great, but I recently got a new sharpener as a stocking stuffer, it's called "edge of glory", I love it too. These aren't expensive knives, but for the price, I love them. My old ones, I sharpen every other time I use them, my new ones are a joy to use! Even high dollar knives need to be sharpened every now and then! I give these as gifts!

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.

I had to get them sharpened and I'm a beginner. They didn't specify that you had to, but you do or you will slide around :(

I'm not sure because I haven't had to sharpen mine yet. I would think that they could be because like someone else said they aren't made out of something that is not out of the ordinary. They should last a while before they need to be sharpened.

No, they do not come in a carrying case. Also, expected them to be much sharper but they did not meet my expectation.

They were sharpened, but not completely. I would take them in before first use.

I assumed they were to be used as-is. Most of us would not own the equipment to sharpen, nor know how to do it. there is a coating (paint) on the blade, and my impression was that they did not appear very sharp out of the box.

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

No.. they are cheap knives not meant to be sharpened. Chefs talk about using these types of knives and throwing them away and buying new ones because of their price. I think sharpening them would take off the finish.. but if you wanted to try .. use one of the 16 degree ones that you slide the knife through.

I don't know for sure once sharpened but I already have one that has a scratch on the paint and the metal is showing through.

Yes they do. Much sharper and easier to use than your supermarket and drug store varieties.

I haven't seen them on Amazon, but other retailers do have them. Just do a search on the web. The blade does come off for sharpening, there is a video on the net.

Yes, they are sharp. Although, they are more for practice. They are quite small. I gave them to my older son and want to get myself some longer ones.

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