Do the blades come sharpened?

The blades do not come sharpened. I went to sports authority and had them sharpened for five dollars..

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

I haven't seen them with just the blade, however, when I ordered mine it came with 2 of each blades which I wasn't expecting.

Yes, a blade comes with it. However, you will need to order additional ones as they do not last long.

No. As far as I know ceramic knives can't be sharpened, they have to be replaced.

They have a tapered grind edge, with a slight angle at the tip of the knife, I have these and have had no problems sharpening them, I love all my Chicago Cutlery. You cant go wrong for the money.

The blades are removable but should simply be replaced and not sharpened.. I cannot imagine, with reasonable care, that you would need to sharpen the blades.....

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

I doubt the blades can be sharpened. This one replaced another B/D hedger that lasted over 15 years and still cut well. But, the old one's motor finally died and it was more expensive to replace that than buy a new unit.

They come sharp not razor sharp but sharp enough to get the job done with no problems I've ordered 3 sets of these blades and I always just put them right on and they work great!! Hope this helps

Just the blades, as shown in the picture. If you are asking if the blades come already attached to the black base as shown in the picture, then yes.

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.

Yes they need to be sharpened. However, these blades remain sharp as long as the device is used properly. My neighbor and I both use this mower since springtime and have never had a need to sharpen the blade. My history with this produce line is to sharpen every 3-5 years depending on usage and storage. I hope this is helpful.

No, they don't, but they are easily sharpened by any pencil sharpener, particularly an electric one.

yes. They come somewhat "blunt". You could cut grass with them I'm sure - just the speed of the blade would cut, but not very good. To get a good "knife like" edge on it you need to sharpen it.

I don't think they are. I just got them and I was expecting sharp blades and found there are brand new but not sharp at all. These do not serve my need at all. Either I send them back or find someone to sharpen them, I clearly cannot use these blades as they are!

Yes, it comes sharpened and it is a very nice hatchet. We love Estwing products.
