I have them done locally, and they do a great job for $5 per bladeset. Once sharpened, though, the lifespan drops dramatically, so I only sharpen them once then chuck them. You can try doing it yourself with a grinder, but it's tricky and a good grinder is expensive. Watch for sales (pet supply stores, vet supply, horse supply) and stock up when you can.

Not easy. We sent them off but not happy with results.. Now just buying new ones.

They can be sharpened with a flat sharping stone using a little pressure, taking your time (Few mins.) you will be able to feel the difference from when you started. Keep the blade flat on stone using slight circular motion.

I have an Oster Golden A5 I have had for over 15 years with the same cutting head. I have 3 Great Pyrenees I shave once a year and I usually only sharpen them once a year prior to use. I use a flat 2" x 6" fine Norton oil stone. I disassemble the blades carefully and clean them with degreaser and use steel dye or a permanent marker to coat the 2 rails on the large bottom piece and the mating surfaces on the smaller sliding part. I then carefully, with even pressure, slide the parts back and forth on the lightly oiled stone just until the dye or marker is removed evenly on both parts. After re-assembly they cut like new!

I am not sure but you could go to the site for the company that makes your clipper and see what blades will work.

I take mine to a professional knife sharpner at a quilt shop if they are very dull or nicked, I also use the edge sharpener I purchased from Amazon, my husband does it for me

With all clippers including detachable blades u need to at least run the clippers two to three times over the cutting area. Don't forget to oil the blades.

With the proper technique, you can sharpen the grind on these knives using a 30 degree triangle sharpener. That's the easiest way to get the job done. However, if you don't feel like it, you can mail the knife to spyderco and they'll sharpen it for free as long as you pay the shipping. It's only $5.00, and they'll preserve the needle like tip which is one of my personal favorite features of this particular knife.

If you turn this sideways so the handle is straight up, you can then place your open scissor blades in the slot next to the logo. Simply close the scissors while sliding them out - repeat this action a few times, and you have sharpened your scissors with the scissor sharpener on this device.

I do not know because I purchased this item for my mother in law. I will say that she contacted me after using the clipping blades for just a few months and they became dull. She called the company to find out how to sharpen them and they told her she would have to buy a new set of blades. She was expecting a new and free replacement. I got this for her for Christmas 2013. If this is true then I do not think I would purchase them at all.

It comes with a sharpener you just run it across the cutting edge in one direction not back and forth. If you do not have a sharpener that comes with it I think you can use a knife sharpener but I am not sure.

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.

I've never tried to sharpen them. I have sharpened other bits and blades etc. You would want to sharpen from the hole side only. I would imagine a dremel would work fine though.

I have no idea where replacement blades can be purchased. Have you tried having them sharpened. I tried these clippers several times on different dog hair types and have no boxed it up to return to Amazon. Looks like I am going to have to try a different brand.

I have yet to sharpen the blades even after filleting over 100 fish, as they still cut well. I do know that were available when I purchased the knife. I also think that one could sharpen the blades using a method appropriate for sharpening serrated blades.

Flip the guide upside down and you can go below 17 degrees on a kitchen knife. Dean O posted a video on YouTube where he sharpened a Mora Clipper to 13.5 degrees.Sharpening The Mora Clipper On The KME Precision ...: http://youtu.be/cd_llEGpqK8

Depends more on the type of blade steel and blade condition. This sharpener will make a knife steel sharpe enough to shave the hairs on your arm. But on some steels you will need the ultra fine rods (sold separately) and a strop. Razor edges take practice though. Good luck.

you have to push them all the way up into tip or they will come out. if they are still coming out after that then you need to replace the clip.you need to make sure you push on the bottom of the blade and get them all the way up in the tip

There is a slot in the blade set and a blade hinge on the clippers. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of the hinge out. Slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper. Push the blade towards the clipper to lock into position.

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.
