Do these come sharpened or do you have to get them sharpened after they arrive?

They were sharpened, but not completely. I would take them in before first use.

No. You have to get them sharpened. Most rinks or sporting goods stores will do it for $5

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.

Yes. I have had this set for about a year and they haven't needed to be sharpened. However, I've had one of the pink chef's knives for several years and it takes sharpening well.

I don't think you would want to sharpen them. I have purchased a dozen of them and never sharpened any of them. I actually like it better when that point is gone.

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.

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 not had a need to sharpen the blade. It has been used seasonally and this is the second year of use. It is extremely sharp when it arrives and it remains sharp. I'm not certain as to what I will use to sharpen when the time comes.

No, the pencils we ordered had to be sharpened (which is a lot of work for all those pencils, so we bought a nice counter-mount sharpener). Hope that helps. - Wayne

You can sharpen them, I'm guessing until the end. I've only had to sharpen mine one or two times.

I personally have never had them sharpened. You may want to send email to company to ask.

I wouldn't hone them, but any serrated blade can be sharpened. Just take them to a professional knife sharpener. I take our serrated bread knives to be sharpened every couple of years

You can sharpen them however you want. That said, to protect the integrity of the knife you should stick to a traditional japanese whetstone and honing steel. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself Shun will sharpen them for free so long as you pay for shipping. Hope that helps!

These Gator blades come sharpened. They are not "razor sharp" but my experience has shown they do an excellent job of cutting.

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