Mine was sharp when it came but I do like my knives super sharp, so I used a sharpening rod then a wet stone did the job just fine. Hope this helps

Honestly if it was very dull when received I would have returned it , mine was & is very sharp still , but if you decided to keep it - You can't beat Sharpening on an Arkansas Wet Stone or similar Quality Wet Stone . It sometimes takes time & Skill to use stone properly but I've been doing that way since I've been 12 Years old & you can't Beat it . Do not use an Electric Sharpener it will only ruin the edge further .

When i got mine it was really sharp. but after a few months of use i sharpened it with a sharpener i had around the house. you may need a better sharpener.

I don't...I mail it to Spyderco with $5 for return shipping (see their web site)...they will return it to the factory edge for free. I tried having a local "professional" due it and he totally jacked it up. Won't make that mistake again. This is the one problem with serrated edges...much more challenging to sharpen than a straight edge.

I would say no you don't. All I have is the Presto sharpener and it has sharpened evert knife in my house to a fine blade. It's so awesome having knives that actually cut! I'm very happy with my purchase.

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.

honestly this knife comes very sharp and stays that way for a while. I would either take it to a local knife sharpener or just use typical sharpening methods

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for it. It's fairly inexpensive and the easiest sharpening method. As far as not needing to sharpen it because it has a "SpyderEdge," that's total nonsense. It's a blade. Blades dull with use. Blades need to be sharpened.

Personally I just use the spyderco sharpmaker. Seen here - http://m.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=77 It works beautifully to sharpen knives, among other things as well. It's on a amazon for just under $60. Seen here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000Q9C4AE

Thew blade was sharp on arrival. As with any other knife blade, it will eventually dull with use.

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!!!

FYI... here is what Wusthof said: Hi, Serrated edge knives actually never need to be sharpened. The way the blades are made, the part that needs to stay sharp never hits a cutting surface so it should not ever go dull. Using a serrated edge knife on the 2904-7 knife sharpener would damage it, so I do not recommend trying it. Regards, Lauren info@wusthof.com Wusthof-Trident Inc 333 Wilson Avenue Norwalk, CT 06854

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.

I have a Chef's Choice 130 which is an excellent machine which includes three options: sharpening, honing and stropping. Unless you are a commercial user, you may not need to actually sharpen your "already dulled out" knife. You may only need to "Hone" the blade to realign the edge {remember, sharpening a blade does actually take a microscopic amount of the blade's steel off the knife}. A honing "steel" may resolve your dullness issue. Good Luck.

I would contact the company...that is what I did when mine stopped working. Just google X-acto and go to "ask questions" on their website for ways to contact them. I had a great response with the customer service. I believe I called them first and talked to a person right away. Then I emailed my receipt to them to verify when I bought the sharpener. They were probably the easiest company that I have dealt with in a long time!

Mine came extremely sharp. I have used a kitchen electric sharpener when it got dull and I can easily slice through paper. I use the chefs choice electric sharpener.

It's a nice sharpener that will put damn sharp edges on a dull knife, but I either use the budget set I sharpened with this great gadget, or my Cutco. Sorry that I can't help.

I have not seen anything at online stores or Wusthof website. Seems for the price, you could buy a replacement sharpener.

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.
