Do the blades wear out like the other X-Acto knives or do they never need replacing?

The blades wear out, they are the same as any other X-Acto knife blades....

I found that Imperial blades has a lot of good tool use information. One of the keys to good blade wear, is to keep the blade temperature low as possible (ie. on a circular blade, rotate the tool so the point of contact is not just in one spot.Here is the Imperial link to blade wear: http://imperialblades.com/the-cutting-edge/why-do-oscillating-multi-tool-blades-wear-out-so-quickly-2/

I have sharpened these knives with a sharpening stone I got in Japan. Overtime (6years or so) the pink paint started chipping off a little around the blades. But the performance of these knives are great for the price. I ended up buying three other knives from these series.

I don't know, mine has never lasted long enough to dull the blades. I've gone through two of them thus far. Probably on the waring site.

Not sure, but I'm supposing no. I've had my knives for a long time and I use them more than any of my Cutco knives. Take care of these and I'm sure they'll last forever.

The blades are very durable and replaceable. if you do happen to damage one they are pretty easy to swap out.

Just ordered the x-acto brand to replace the techi-edge ones that I just returned. It's MUCH better (which I knew because I've used x-acto blades before). I guess you get what you pay for right?

Have had my Norelco for about 10 years and have never replaced the blades. Use everyday and it still gives a great shave! The only thing I do is brush out every week.

I personally use each blade for a week/seven days before swapping it out for a new one. I've used them for longer and they start to dull after that.

If you can find a cutter where you never need to replace a blade, please let me know! I've never seen such a thing; however, in my experience, titanium blades last much longer than steel blades. I do love my cutter, but don't buy it for the light feature. I am disappointed in Fiskars for that. Buy it for the size and cutting. Awesome.

While I have not needed yet to replace the blade, as one can sharpen the old blade, the link through Amazon I found is Clearing Axe - REPLACEMENT BLADE . Another web link related to the manufacturer is http://www.bahco.com/english/ .

The blade is not replaceable, I was told by a Fiskars Rep that if the blade were to dull or become damaged I would have to replace the whole thing. I don't know if the sticks are replaceable or not.

Linda, I believe they're supposed to stay sharp forever, but who knows about that. Main thing is I read that they were for slicing, not chopping, so I guess they can be damaged. I use mine for chopping, and so far, it's held up. I chop vegetables mostly and slice meat. I wouldn't use the knife on anything really hard. I don't think it's supposed to break in half. You might want to call the retailer.

We've had this knife almost a year and the sharpener works fine still. I think EVENTUALLY it would wear out, but would probably take a long time. Hope that helps!

The blades themselves seem like they can last indefinitely. I was never told that they should be replaced yearly, so I've been using the same set for at least 20 years. They get dull, but they can be sharpened with some very fine grit sandpaper. What is more likely to wear out are the screens for the blades. They could break at any time after a few years. That's what happened to me. When they break, you need to buy a new set. The ones I bought here have been a good, cheap, reliable purchase.

I being using mine for over 8 months and I haven't replace the blade yet, but if you need replacements STD sells them and are easy to replace
