As an long time skater myself, we had the kids blades sharpened, as it is always the best course when using any skates for the first time. It is not necessary to do so, but the kids will skate smoother and easier. Your local rink or sporting goods store should be able to do it quickly and inexpensively. Best regards!

Yes they can be sharpened in fact I run a few swipes on my fine steel between uses to keep a keen edge and haven't needed to really sharpen them yet.

I wouldn't hone them, but any serrated blade can be sharpened. Just take them to a professional knife sharpener. I take our serrated bread knives to be sharpened every couple of years

No. They have the correct "edge" on them, but they are painted and you will need to sharpen them yourself.

I haven't had to sharpen the blades yet, so I can't answer that part. I spray a silicone lubricant after every time I use the mower to prevent corrosion. The blades have stayed quite sharp, and you can adjust them if they ever have a larger spacing - I don't know if this is considered 'sharpening' though.

As long as the points and edges of the teeth still feel sharp, you should be ok. As with any tool, the brand new sharpness will slightly go away. As long as the kerf is still correct and the teeth feel sharp to the touch it should just be normal wear. Keep in mind there is always the possibility of using a file to sharpen the blade and keep extending the life of the saw without replacement.

No. They need a 3000 grit shun stone. And you must sharpen it at a 16 degree angle

The sword is made from stainless steel and is basicly like a hockey skate blade when you first buy it in a store (close to flat and about half a centimeter depth). Any stainless steel blade can be sharpened. Do not attempt to do it at home with a kitchen knife sharpener or sand paper. You would have to take it to a smithy. If your feeling lucky and cheap go find a hockey skate sharpener and run the sword through it like a credit card.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file.HTH,Robert

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

I personally have never had them sharpened. You may want to send email to company to ask.

My experience with the new knives is that they are sharpened in a production environment that doesn't allow the fine honing that's required for a truly sharp knife. I would put a finish hone on the knife right out of the box.

Yes, you can sharpen small knives and tools on the Lansky Dual Grit Sharpener. It's just like a regular sharpening stone, but it's shaped like a hockey puck.

I wouldn't consider mine sharp out-of-the-box at all - definitely a rough sharpened edge as it should, just waiting for the final job - it's a little inconvenient unless you're used to it, but sharpening these yourself is absolutely the preferred way - I think they make these with that in mind - those who want to use it will finish the job, but for the people who want to display it, it's still kind of safe to be aroundit's absolutely ready to use even out of the box, but you'll want to sharpen it if you're serious about it

You can use a flat file or a bench grinder if you have one. It's best to sharpen before each use.

I use a grinding wheel and then sharpening stones. I also would wipe it with mineral oil if you can keep up with the habit. You shouldn't have to sharpen it out of the box. Unless you hit the blade with a rock, You won't be sharpening it for a while. It's a Ka-Bar, not a pocket knife, get it dirty.

They have a terrific guarantee policy: http://www.tweezerman.com/free-sharpening/ I haven't had mine sharpened; just bought another because everyone in my family has their own now! They do require sharpening, and can get out of alignment if dropped. Otherwise, they work great!
