In my experience i'd have to say no, I've brought dull knives to a decent sharpness but not anything hair razor sharp . I'd suggest the Spyderco sharpener or something that has a higher grit to sharpen.

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.

I am sure it would dull over time. Not sure how it would sharpen. Ours is still going strong.

Mine was very sharp. Not razor sharp, but certainly so sharp it had to be handled with caution right out of the box.

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.

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

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.

Personal opinion is depends on usage, type of cutting surface, dishwasher or hand washing, and type of sharpener. Basically, if it stops cutting/slicing with the ease it had when you bought it, it needs to be sharpened. This is a great, versatile knife, which everyone here reaches for first. Will probably buy more.

Yes it is very sharp, really, be careful !!!. You can as I did take it to a skilled sword sharpener, and if he's good he will make it razor sharp.

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.

This is a very good sharpening stone. You will need to focus on the angle of the edge and the course stone is just the start. Once you have worked the course you can step down to the medium stone and that will clean up your edge. It should start to feel a little sharper. Then you step down to the fine stone to hone your edge. A dull knife can take hours to sharpen it depends on if the edge was turned. When you sharpen you lay the knife on the stone at about a 15 degree angle and first push the knife away from you on one side and then you draw the knife towards you on the other side. Only work one direction on each side. Make sure you draw the whole edge down the stone. Take your time and use even pressure on the blade

Once you get it sharpened you might try using a honing steel after each use. A couple of swipes and the knife stays very sharp. It will postpone having to have the knife resharpened.

the blade is sharp and ready to go. You can make it sharper if you desire bur not necessary.

It's a fact of life that knives dull with use. I use these knives plenty and I ordered a sharpener with mine and use it very often. These are super knives and you will want to keep them always as sharp as when they were new.

The knife seems to be high quality, and is stainless steel. I haven't tried to sharpen it yet, but it should be as easy as any knife. A honing steel can also be used if you take care to follow the curved edge.
