Can this sword be sharpened?

Yes it can be sharpened; the blade is metal and can be sharpened like a standard knife/sword. I have not sharpened it because it came pretty sharp (mainly at the tip) and also it was for my son where the duller the better!

Yes you can, but this rod is ultra fine so if the edge is dull it will take a very long time. It is manly used as a final touch when you are using the spiderco sharpmaker sistem, wich has two sets of tougher stones and it takes a bit off time to make a dull edge sharp with them. So if your edge is already shaving sharp this rod is what you need to make it even sharper.

I've used mine for cutting dove tails and other fine cuts. It is flexible (which some may not like) and sharp. I have not tried sharpening it.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

Yes but to make sharper .. YouTube a video on how.. as simple as raising the blade closer to the edge

It's not sharp at all. In fact the entire "edge" of the sword is flat. So don't expect to cut anything with it.

I've just purchased mine this year so I haven't had to sharpen the blades. but there is a specialized tool for it that is pulled along the blade. That all I know about it.

If you're talking about a Japanese sword, a good one you paid $1000+ for, you should always have it professionally polished and sharpened. I assume the same is true for western swords as well. If it's a work of art, you need an artist to sharpen it. I don't know that this would do the job regardless, but I would advise against it on nice swords and collector items.

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

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.

Not that I am aware of but I would suggest checking Wusthof's website. It's not terribly rough. The term "sharpening steel" is a bit misleading. This product is intended to hone the blade not reshape/reform the bevel on the blade.

I would think so. Im pretty sure I saw other websites selling this product for just that. Basically if its steel and not serated, you can use any sharpening stone for it

With a lot of effort, yes, it could be sharpened...however, it is not needed. The point is plenty sharp enough to pierce from a thrust, and the blade is heavy enough to cut from a good swing without being sharpened.

yes, the blade can be replaced but, you wouldn't need to because it can be sharpened. this product also comes with the sharpening stone. it's best to give the blade a few strokes with the stone every 100th cut or so to get a clean cut.

The sword is made from stainless steel and is basicly like a hockey skate blade when you first buy it in a store (close to flat and about half a centimeter depth). Any stainless steel blade can be sharpened. Do not attempt to do it at home with a kitchen knife sharpener or sand paper. You would have to take it to a smithy. If your feeling lucky and cheap go find a hockey skate sharpener and run the sword through it like a credit card.
