Is the blade self-Sharpening?

No, it is not self-sharpening. I believe if you cut some aluminum foil it will sharpen itself. I have not had any need to re-sharpen my as yet,however. There are some easy using knife sharpeners that will probably work if need be.

I do not believe the blade is self- sharpening, but I do cut aluminum foil with it when I think about it, same idea as cutting craft punches to keep the cutting device sharp. I do a lot of cutting and all has been well so far. Hope this helps.

No it isn't, while it is kind of sharp I had to send away to be sharpened and even then it wasn't as sharp as I would like. Hope this helps! :)

No, this is a trainer, so the edge is dull and made in a way that it cannot be sharpened.

No the blade is beveled to 16 degrees instead 24 so it's much safer to sharpen by hand or with shun sharpener but to get original blade like best to send back to shun for there free sharpening services

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

Sorry, no. The blade is molded in place. However, it is very hard series 400, medical grade stainless steel, and should last a long time.

yes, it is a straight blade on both sides and not serated, an easy sharpen on front and back of blade.

I'm not sure, I'm assuming it isn't since I have not seen that term used before. For the money it has been a very good knife, 5 deer down, sharpen it before I start and once again before I steak out. I'm Not sure it needs to be sharpened during processing but I always sharpen again before I make any finished cuts, works for me and very well.

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.

No, it doesn't but it's so sharp that you won't need to sharpen it for a while, and the price is worth buying a knife sharpener separately (if needed). I've only used it for Sushi so it's still pretty sharp.

Yes it is, or so it says on the cutting blade. I will add that this is a very nice sharpener for artist's quality colored pencils. I couldn't say how long the blade will last as I've not had it all that long. The only downside I can think of for this sharpener is that you need something to catch the shavings in.

The blade I received seemed sharp, I have been using it over a year. I had the original blade sharpened for $6 and can put it on when the replacement blade gets nicked up.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file.HTH,Robert

I don't know if the blade is self sharpening but it easily cuts illustration board (ad agency)

I'm sure it could be sharpened that way. However, this knife has a very precise edge on it and you would want it sharpened by a professional that has the ability to match that specific edge. Me; I would take it to a pro. And I kept my knives sharp for years when I worked in professional kitchens.

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for it. It's fairly inexpensive and the easiest sharpening method. As far as not needing to sharpen it because it has a "SpyderEdge," that's total nonsense. It's a blade. Blades dull with use. Blades need to be sharpened.

Hi. Bothe sides of the blade are hollow grind sharpened. If you are looking for this type of cutting instrument I believe you will be pleased.
