I never put mine in the dishwasher and it stayed sharp a long time. Then I tried sharpening it with a Henckels knife sharpener. Didn't do a bit of good. So I use a sharpening steel. That is one of those round things with a handle on it. Now I am looking for a professional knife sharpening person at the local farmers market. Using the sharpening steel it is still the best knife in my kitchen.

Use the cheap roller sharpener from IKEA! I have been using that for all my Henkel's for years and found it to be the best sharpener ever. Easy and quick. A few strokes on the roller will make it sharp as new. Simple and easy and never damage your precious knives. Never leave your knives dull and abuse them for a long period. It may harm the edge too badly and that will require major surgery to revive it.

ChefsChoice Diamond hone sharper 4623 has worked fine for me or Lansky Sharpeners, www.lansky.com

You could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

In order to sharpen a blade, the surface being used to scrape off the metal needs to have two characteristics: 1) it needs to be significantly harder than the steel; and 2) it has to have the correct "grit" or level of texture...Certain rocks, such as those contining high levels of quartz (granites) may be hard enough to use, although, not optimal. If the knife has become significantly dull, it might be improved enough to bring it back to a usable level of sharpness. Obviously using a diamond or ceramic stone will doe a better job, and allow for a better edge. Doc

The only way to sharpen them is to sharpen the non-serrated side of the scissors. If the scissors do become dull, simply let me know and I will send you out a replacement pair free of charge.

D2 steel is too hard to be sharpened with a whetstone, you need to use either diamond sharpeners or ceramic crock sticks work well,

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.

If it is not serrated, I imagine you could sharpen it, but why? It is already very sharp,cuts any veggie. Mine has not lost any sharpness. If you do sharpen it, take care!

If the knives were really dull before hand you may not have spent long enough with the brown stones on edge. That will get you to a starting point. Then turning the brown stones to flats will get you a nice sharp edge. With kitchen knives I'd stop there. The slight irregularity of the edge at that point often helps almost like a serrated edge with slicing through tomato skins etc. Then use a steel to keep that edge straight. You might also make sure you are holding the blade with a truly vertical orientation so that the bevels are even.

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

Use a cutting board. One you can easily replace. The Ulu is extremely sharp and made to stay that way.

At the beginning it worked wonderful, but after a 2 month the blade became dull. Now it take to long to sharpen pencils and I've only had it for about 4 months. I don't let my students sharpen colored pencil, They have their own sharpener for that.

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!

I would suggest contacting the Westcott company, they may exchange it for a new one, that's what most companies do. I honestly only use mine at home, so we do not sharpen many pencils. Sorry, hopefully this helps!

Sharpening serrated blades is not usually possible at home. If your knife is still working, get new blades. If it is VERY old get a complete new set. Also, avoid using the blades on bone. That will dull them. Use a boning knife to slice meat fom the bone

You may be using too much pressure on it. It requires very minimal pressure to sharpen a knife. Most sharpeners will bog down with excessive pressure. Try a very light touch with the blade.

I do not believe it can be sharpened. However, the cutting blade can be replaced, because I've had that done.

use the #2 stone. If knife is really dull it may take several passes maybe 6.
