If and when necessary, can these knives be sharpened?

I don't know since the need has not arisen. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

Yes they can be sharpened and honed like any other knife with a carbon steel blade.

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.

I haven't had to do it yet to these knives but have an older knife of the same that I sharpen when needed.

Yes, they can be sharpened! I LOVE a sharp knife, and I sharpen all of my knives regularly! Kuhn rikon sharpener is great, but I recently got a new sharpener as a stocking stuffer, it's called "edge of glory", I love it too. These aren't expensive knives, but for the price, I love them. My old ones, I sharpen every other time I use them, my new ones are a joy to use! Even high dollar knives need to be sharpened every now and then! I give these as gifts!

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.

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

I don't think you can sharpen these knives manually or else it will void the warranty.

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.

Yes you can. Traditionally only the last 1/2 to last 1/4 of the blade was sharpened. A caveat exists. Generally blades from China are poor at holding a good edge, and are very brittle (i.e. the blade is more decoration than functional), so do some research on the steel used in making the blade.

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

I'm not sure since I haven't had that issue so far. Have you tried to take them to a local hardware store to see if they can be sharpened? Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

I don't think you can sharpen them, we ordered new ones from the manufacturer.

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 was told they stay sharp longer. And if needed the metal part can be sharpened. But I have not tryed.

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

My experience with the new knives is that they are sharpened in a production environment that doesn't allow the fine honing that's required for a truly sharp knife. I would put a finish hone on the knife right out of the box.

Yes, absolutely it can be sharpened. The blade comes sharp but not razor sharp. If you wish it to be razor sharp ,I suggest you use a wet stone. They have a ton of them right here on Amazon.

The Komachi knives can be sharpened but there is a specific way to sharpen them. Go to eHow.com and search how to sharpen a Komachi knife. I know that the Komachi 2 knives are relatively low in cost, but I wouldn't want to ruin them by an improper sharpening technique.

I don't know. I gave them as a gift. I have another brand that I use daily and haven't had to sharpen them yet.

I have two sets. The first set I bought 2 years ago and the second set last year. I have never sharpened them. I love these knives.
