how do you sharpen it

Depending on how sharp it is. If it is really dull then you will need a wet stone, shun have one with 2 sides for sharpening and one for honeing. If it is still quite you can just get a dimond steel the sharpen it after a couple of uses, Thats what I do with my old shun 25cm chefs knife and ive had that for 9 yrs.

I use sharpening steel every time when I use a knive., I have shun stone too but I use like 4times per year.

One method to sharpen it is to send it back into the company. I believe they still offer free sharpening services for your Shun blades. You can use a wet stone also, however I would suggest looking at a you tube video or other guide on sharpening shun blades.

Please note the steel does not sharpen the blade, it helps realign the blade but does not actually sharpen it.

The Shun DM0902 Limited Edition 10th Anniversary I have on display and have never used, but I have several other Shun Knives that I do use on a regular basis that are made with SG2, VG10, SG0400, SG0403, and SG0408 steel (I do not have any other knives that are made of VG2 steel like the DM0902) and I take them to a professional knife house in town and have them hand sharpened on a stone once a year. In the interim I use the MAC black ceramic honing rod to help with edge retention.

I just use a small, manual sharpener ~ I can throw it in my purse and empty it easily. Cost of that type is very low!

no, you can't but I imagine there is a knife sharpener that is good for this(maybe in time I will look a knife sharpener that is suitable for it that doesn't ruin the color).. So far, ever since I bought it, still really sharp to used.

You could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

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.

The instructions that came with it say to pull and push alternately, back and forth in full sweeps. I do it that way and it sharpens very nicely.

Just squeeze the two black things moving it outwards at the same time then sick your pencil in and let go now you can sharpen

Any sharpener will work. I dont get caught up in trying to get them so sharp that you can shave with a knife. Just add a light drop of oil on each side and spread it with you finger. Any gun or household oil will work. I use Ballistol because its what I haveon hand here but any oil will work.

Just use some distilled water and a spray bottle. Thats what I did and it worked like a champ. Then just wet it liberally and make sure you use a sharp blade.

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.

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.

Pinch the two black things together and pull them out away from the base. With the two black pinched together, insert the pencil and then let go of the black things. Start turning the the handle and the black things move back to the base. You will then have a perfectly sharpened pencil.

Most of your home improvement stores will carry a reel mower sharpening kit that has a gritty paste, application brush, reel crank, and directions for about $15. The gist of it is you put the paste on the edges of the reel blades and the bed blade and use the crank to spin the reel for a bit (you can also use a drill with an attachment, much easier and faster). You may also have to adjust the bed blade. The whole process depends on your mechanical skills really, it can take anywhere from 20 mins to 1 hour. What ever you do please don't use a grinder or file as that will potentially ruin your mower by removing too much metal. When to sharpen depends on a lot of variables such as how often you mow, the type of grass or weeds you have etc. The best way to tell is if you consistently have rogue grass blades sticking up or patches of uneven grass where you mowed. I would expect most people would sharpen their reel mowers about twice a year.

none at all i would recommend looking for tutorials on youtube. i also recommend not getting this and saving for a real knife where you can put electrical tape on the sharp stuff. (has the same effect as having a trainer)ps if you do buy it it i will bet that it will break within the first week and the company doesn't cover it by warranty.

Here is what you don't do: Don't stick something into the teeny hole that appears just forward of the two cones (i.e. the two cones that tell you the sharpening angle of each sharpening hole) and pry upwards. If you stick something into that teeny hole and lift up, you are potentially damaging the sharpener. Instead, place thumb on the front of the top 3/8ths inch of the sharpener, and gently push that entire black 3/8ths inch up out of the canister.
