What happens when blades become worn? Can you sharpen them? Can you order replacements?

I don't think you can sharpen them, we ordered new ones from the manufacturer.

I have yet to sharpen the blades even after filleting over 100 fish, as they still cut well. I do know that were available when I purchased the knife. I also think that one could sharpen the blades using a method appropriate for sharpening serrated blades.

Good question we have had ours for many years and have not had to sharpen. We purchased a new one for when we wear out this one.

Sharpeners work OK, but i prefer replacing the blades with new ones. Turning the blade over has no effect in my opinion. They last a long time.

You can purchase new blades (it comes with a couple extras), but I wouldn't recommend the purchase in the first place.

It says they are replaceable. Try going to Gardena.com At the bottom it says contact. Click on it and a form will pop up. For subject choose spare parts. Ask where they may be obtained and they will answer. This is the first time I have seen that they are made in the US. So, if that is true, as well as them saying replaceable, you may be in luck. Wonder if someone sharpens them of you are unable to get a new blade?

They get gradually duller. Depends on how long you can tolerate to take to shave (and touch up with a blade) before replacing. I was on the same blades for 5 years or so and realized how bad they were when I forgot it on a trip to France and bought a new one there. You can supposedly also sharpen them a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSBX81U1otM

I have sharpened mine and they seem none the worse for it. I decided they were cheap enough that I could replace it if I ruined it.

I have no idea where one could purchase a blade sharpener. I think it would be more cost effective to purchase a new blade, they are not that expensive.

The sharpening blades do wear out and don't work as well over time. Reversing them is like getting a brand new sharpener.

when there is no more drag on the blade you are sharpening. the groves that are cut into the rod get worn to the point they become smooth. im not sure if you can " sharpen the sharpener " or not it would be best if you would call one of the blade manufacturers and find out for sure . otherwise its time to replace it

I don't think you would want to sharpen them. I have purchased a dozen of them and never sharpened any of them. I actually like it better when that point is gone.

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

You can sharpen the blade! I pulled the blade out and took it to my local knife sharpener. He did it for a few bucks and it's good as new! You can also pull the blade out and use your blade straightener on it too.

I have not had to sharpen the blades as of yet, (I have used 2 summers). However, if I had to I would take to my lawnmower person for sharpening or new blades. :)

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

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.

I don't think you can sharpen the blade. I think it would need replacement if you were to dull the blade. I've cleaned over four hundred fish on my original blade and still goinig. I will never use anything else!!!

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.
