Do they need to be sharpened?

I bought these for my 10 year old nephew and they are moderately used. So far there has been no need to sharpen. They are excellent skates. His parents loved because they are adjustable and snap on. He could easily do it himself

We used them 4 years in a row and we never sharpened them. I just made sure to clean the blades after eavh use. Both boys loved them.

We used them right out of the box, we did not do any sharpening, but for a 6 and 8 year old they worked very well.

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.

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 was told they stay sharp longer. And if needed the metal part can be sharpened. But I have not tryed.

I assumed they were to be used as-is. Most of us would not own the equipment to sharpen, nor know how to do it. there is a coating (paint) on the blade, and my impression was that they did not appear very sharp out of the box.

I've had a set for five years. I bought these as a gift. No I have never needed to sharpen mine.

The only way to sharpen them is to sharpen the non-serrated side of the scissors. If the scissors do become dull, simply let me know and I will send you out a replacement pair free of charge.

I have two sets. The first set I bought 2 years ago and the second set last year. I have never sharpened them. I love these knives.

No, they are not pre-sharpened, but they sharpen really well and are the best quality pencils you will find. I don't waste my money on any other brand. Most of the cheap brands have points that break easily and don't sharpen well.

Yes they can be sharpened in fact I run a few swipes on my fine steel between uses to keep a keen edge and haven't needed to really sharpen them yet.

I did not attempt to sharpen the black ones (those ones were mainly intended for cosplaying, not actual use) however, with most blackened metal the black will be removed when you sharpen the blade as it is typically a surface treatment to alter the metal's color. However, the plain steel ones that I use for practice sharpened quite well though take care when doing so as to not unbalance them. This will make using them far, far more difficult. I would suggest to have them sharpened by a professional if you are unfamiliar with the process. Better safe than sorry.

The ones I got were sharp. Actually used last 1/2 of season without having to sharpen. They appear to hold the edge pretty good.

Mine are still sharp, but there in no reason they can not be sharpened. I have full plans on sharpneing them once they get dull; I love these knives. Even ordered more as a gift to family.

The blades are removable but should simply be replaced and not sharpened.. I cannot imagine, with reasonable care, that you would need to sharpen the blades.....

I had to get them sharpened and I'm a beginner. They didn't specify that you had to, but you do or you will slide around :(

Yes they need to be sharpened. However, these blades remain sharp as long as the device is used properly. My neighbor and I both use this mower since springtime and have never had a need to sharpen the blade. My history with this produce line is to sharpen every 3-5 years depending on usage and storage. I hope this is helpful.
