do they need sharpening before you use for the first time ?

The skates I received were pretty sharp; not as good as a fresh grinding but much better than any rental skates you can get at a high volume rink.

I had mine sharpened befor the first use but was told that they really didn't need it. I guess it depends on what level skater you are. If your are a competative figure skater you'd want them sharp. If you are like me, a rank shakey amature take them like they are.

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 all the shoes need sharpening prior to use. You cud check with the sharpening store and they wud be able to say yes or no. Unsharpened shoes means more tripping

I have two sets. The first set I bought 2 years ago and the second set last year. I have never sharpened them. I love these knives.

Get a sharpening stone and sharpen with one to two passes of the stone as needed using gloves for hand protection. I sharpen after every use.

I have owned this set for a few months now. I have not tried to sharpen them because they are still as sharp as the first day I got them. They do not show sign of dullness. Hope this helps.

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

No- buy them separately. Depending on what you are working on, be very careful not to get aggressive grit- If working on cutlery I would use 600 grit max to start and be careful because it will remove material quickly

Hi Kullen,I have not actually needed a sharpener yet; however, I find the best sharpener for maintain this type of blade is a diamond or ceramic sharpening rod. Hope this helps. Thanks :-)

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

Yes they do need sharpening but they are easy to re-sharpen. It's a good blade that doesn't rust easily.

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

Doesn't need to be sharpened. I have had mine for over 10 years and it still works fine. Bought this one for a friend who used mine and couldn't believe how easy it was to use.

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.

I have purchased 3 sets of Chicago Cutlery, but I won't be much help with this question. I bought a set for myself several years ago, and it did not have a sharpener. I bought a set for my son last Christmas, and a set for my daughter in June. Neither of them have used the sharpener yet, which I suppose is a sign that the knives have stayed sharp enough without using the sharpener at all this far.
