can it sharpen my old 16inch blades

Not unless they are Powersharp blades. It is a different tooth design. I love mine. I will not go back to the old style and all the filing. I usually sharpen my chain every time when I start for the day and every other time I fill the fuel tank. It litterally only takes 5 seconds, and it is great having a sharp chain.

No it only sharpens the blades that come with it... that is why I returned it.

I doubt it. The sharpener fits on to the chain saw and chain's teeth are unlike my old chainsaw's teeth.

Yes but I would sharpen it when you get it. I received mine not dull but not really sharp either. So I put a better edge on it. 20 degrees.

The only way I know of to sharpen a set of blades like this is by using a rat tail diamond hone. It is skill dependent and time consuming. Highly recommend purchasing a spare set of blades and scrap the idea of sharpening.

Right off the top, I would say no. But I have never tried it. I use mine to sharpen all my planner blades and it does a very good job. I keep my blades razor sharp. I have a small belt type sharpener that I use for my hedge blades.

It has a suction cup base, you could mount it on your counter nearby and swipe it once or twice as needed, it definitely will sharpen them. It will shave a small amount of steel off each time.

Probably would be a safe bet. I haven't had it for long but it seems to work well for the kitchen knifes. My stone gets my pocket and hunting knifes sharper. This sharpener takes less work tho.

I am sure it would dull over time. Not sure how it would sharpen. Ours is still going strong.

Absolutely. I have 5 Global knives and this sharpener has returned them to their new razor-like sharpness.

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

I have no idea though I have had one for some time. It's cheaper to buy a new one than conventional sharpening unless you can do it all yourself.

Not really no, just keep it clean, and sharpen it when it's dull. Which isn't very often.

Using the sharpening kit (Lowes, Home Depot, etc) the blades can be easily sharpened. If small-scale mechanical things are not your bent, a local handyperson could do this in about 45 minutes, using the tool and instructions supplied in the kit (also mentioned in the owners manual).

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.

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

Yes, I have sharpened a 3-1/2 inch bladed knife on mine and it worked great. The one issue I can see is that if the knife is too small then you run the risk of scrapping your hand on the stone.
