Does the knife come sharp

Yes......you can get it sharper if you know what you're doing, but it is sharp out of the box...

Yes, it requires a different way of sharpening you may not be used to. It's almost like a scandi grind, don't be afraid to get it low on the stone.

My husband uses this knife, said he does a few strokes on his sharpening stone before he uses it. He does that with any of his good knives, tho, since he's a "sharp knife fanatic." It's a good knife, he's been happy with it. And we've given this as a gift to our son, who has been very happy with it.

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

It comes very sharp and i havent needed to sharpen it even after constant us for a few months.I would say that yes at some point when you sharpen it,it will take a small layer of the coating of near the blade.

No, but it is easy to clean and sharp so be careful. I popped mine into the dishwasher and it cleaned up very well.

Hey Dan. I haven't had to worry about sharpening the knife yet. I bought it a month ago and use it almost daily. The edge is still just as sharp as when I pulled it out of the package. I've seen other reviewers state that eventually it will need to be sharpened but I haven't reached that point yet.

Hi T. It comes out of the box sharp enough to slice a sheet of paper without tearing it. Also comes with it's own sharpening stone in located in a seperate pocket attached to the sheath.

No it does NOT come with the knife sharpener........It is a very good knife(not a chef but can't see how you can do better under $10) and I now pretty much exclusively use it for almost all my chopping/cutting.......I have my own knife sharpener and have been wondering if this knife can even be sharpened using a standard knife sharpener, although since blade seems normal, it probably can.........I bought one and just put another one of these knifes on my wish list......

It comes fairly sharp. Sharp enough to begin wok ring with, but you can always make it sharper.

I haven't used the sharpener, I bought the knife set a few months ago and they are still really sharp.

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

Yes, it does. Easy to use in either hand, comfortable grip and well balanced handle. Can't go wrong with this knife, I'm very satisfied.

No, but it opens nicely with a flick of the thumb studs, sweet little knife for the price. Nice quality!

No the blade is incredibly blunt. The tip is the only thing that is relatively sharp.
