Will the sharpener ever wear out

Not for a long while if you use it as it is intended. The sharpener itself is for quick touch ups in the field. If you're at home then you should use an actual sharpening stone.

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!

Yes, every sharpener will wear out eventually depending on frequency of use. Gerber does sell replacements forthis BG model knife and it can be switched for left and right hand use. All together good design and a great knife. I hope this helps out.

I'm not really sure. I've had mine for about 8 months and they're still sharp. But i am going out on a limb and saying yes. But not a auto sharpener. I'd use a stone

I use my knives daily. I sharpen every 3 to 4 weeks. The ceramic blades stay sharp for quite a while. Except for the serrated knife, which cannot be sharpened with the sharpener.

I do not know about the warranty because I unfortunately didn't keep it and use it. The sharpener quit working within one month. A second one did the exact same thing! (They were not purchased from the same place.) The second one was taken back and exchanged for a different brand.

I have not tried using one of those to sharpen it. But I have used every other standard sharpening tool and so far it hasnt received any damage at all.

In my classroom, I got about 15 months of consistent pencil sharpening. I have looked for the replacement cutter so I didn't have to buy a whole new pencil sharpener, but I think I'm going to end up purchasing a replacement.

Yes. My fingers have worn a bit, but not much. I used the sharpener quite a bit for a while after getting it, but not much after that because the knives held their edges and only needed a few strokes on an ultra-fine steel every once in a while. Initially, the knives needed a lot of work, which is probably why I had to use the sharpener more then, than now. Hope that makes sense. Once I got the knives to a decent edge, it was only maintaining the edge. But, getting the knives to that kind of edge took some work on the sharpener. Probaly why the fingers got more workout.

it is very durable a normal sharpner should do the trick. and always clean and oil it asap after each use.

You go to Oregon's website and they say they offer a lifetime warranty. Go to some retail sites that sell the sharpener and they say it has a 12 month warranty. However, when I received my sharpener, there was a warranty card with it stating the sharpener had a 30-day warranty (from the date of purchase).....which would give you about three weeks since it takes about a week to ship. So I have no idea what the warranty actually is. All I can say is that the hydraulic assist sharpener is built like an M-1 tank....superb quality. Seems like it would last a lifetime. Once you set it up, it is very easy to use and the hydraulic assist helps speed up the chore of sharpening a chain quite a bit. Would recommend it to a friend.

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 not had mine long enough to fully answer this question, though mine have had a lot of use. I absolutely love them, and see the price has dropped since I purchased them 2 months ago. I'd say if used properly, you will get a lot of use before having to sharpen them. Stainess will hold a good sharp edge for a long time.

Same answer as W. M. Werich. It's a long lasting sharpener for $20. So far it has sharpened a lot of edges.

I can't say how long the blade lasts for sure but it does have a 10 year warranty so if it breaks before 10 years, just call the company. My sharpener lasted a little over 3 years in an elementary classroom that sharpened more than 20 pencils a day. (I do not allow the children to use the sharpener and do not sharpen colored pencils with this sharpener.) When the sharpener quit, I called the company and had a new sharpener in a week. Highly recommend this sharpener and company!

I had very similar one and used like 20 years. I assume something stuck in/round blade which happens sometimes. I assume center core of pencil remains inside the blade. I recommend to clean. As long as your students use appropriately, it should last years.

I have no idea because I have not yet had to sharpen it. My experience with sharpeners is that it takes quite a while before they would need sharpening, so I wouldn't base a purchase decision on it.

Yes, it comes with a workmanship and materials warrantee. Not that I've had to use it. We're a homeschool family with eight kids. So, this sharpener sees a lot of use and is still going strong.

I have no idea though I have had one for some time. It's cheaper to buy a new one than conventional sharpening unless you can do it all yourself.
