Can these be sharpened? It looks like they can't be disassembled.

Maybe. Of you could find the right sized file for the arc of the cutting surface. But the are so cheap I am not sure it would be worth it. The are all metal under the plastic handle and could be recycled.

No they can't be sharpened. Even if they could be it might not be worth it to sharpen them. Might be the same amount of money to just buy new ones.

No, but they stay sharp a very long time, I've gotten more than 10 years out of a pair.

I'm sure they can be sharpened by someone who knows what they are doing, but that being said... If these are used for cutting clothes off and not things like tin , metal, or otherwise they should not really dull ever. They are extremely sharp!

They can. Gently using, cleaning & storing in a knife block help. I really like these knives and for the price won't freak out if I break one. I have broken more expensive ceramic knives before I bought these.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.

No, they can't be uncrimped. They would have to be cut with a rotary cutting tool.

i've never looked to try and find. I think it could be disassembled, in order to sharpen the blades.

I do not believe they need to be sharpen but to be on the safe side, I would have them sharpen professionally

if you read the description it says they are serrated. I don't think you can sharpen serrated blades.

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!

They are really sharp to start out with and they last a pretty long while. I'm not sure if they can be sharpened, although if they can't be sharpened I'm sure anyone could just replace the blades on then with new ones. I love these knives. Hope that helped in some way or another.

i sharpen them by hand, they seem too delicate to sharpen with an electric sharpener. works just fine.

I wouldn't consider mine sharp out-of-the-box at all - definitely a rough sharpened edge as it should, just waiting for the final job - it's a little inconvenient unless you're used to it, but sharpening these yourself is absolutely the preferred way - I think they make these with that in mind - those who want to use it will finish the job, but for the people who want to display it, it's still kind of safe to be aroundit's absolutely ready to use even out of the box, but you'll want to sharpen it if you're serious about it

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

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

I don't think you can sharpen these knives manually or else it will void the warranty.

It says they are replaceable. Try going to Gardena.com At the bottom it says contact. Click on it and a form will pop up. For subject choose spare parts. Ask where they may be obtained and they will answer. This is the first time I have seen that they are made in the US. So, if that is true, as well as them saying replaceable, you may be in luck. Wonder if someone sharpens them of you are unable to get a new blade?
