Hello, What do I need to purchase to sharpen the blade? Thanks

Sandpaper wrapped around a wood dowel. On youtube search Mora 164 hook knife. There are videos that show how.

There is a chain, bar, sharpening stone and the attachment that fits on the end of the bar to sharpen it with. Once you buy this, if you need to replace the chain, you would just order the chain. It comes with a chain and new sharpening stone.

Wood lol you will most likely want a tool sharpening jig set up for your tools and a 4 jaw chuck as well.

I agree with Damon but, I seriously doubt this is what you need. I've always used a file or small grinder to sharpen mine. They're coming out with new things all the time though. Drill Dr. has a new belt grinder which may work but, it's about $100 (available on Amazon). Try emailing Smiths - www.smithsproducts.com - they may have something or could direct you to another Amazon vendor. I've always had luck doing that.

No sharpener is included, but I have had mine for over two years and have never sharpened it and it still works good, cuts well

It comes with a sharpening stone. I have done approx. 400 sq.ft. So far and the blade shows no sign of having to be replaced yet.

It comes with a sharpener you just run it across the cutting edge in one direction not back and forth. If you do not have a sharpener that comes with it I think you can use a knife sharpener but I am not sure.

You shouldn't have to sharpen it actually the materials your passing it through should do it for you. However for the rare instance where it does all you need to do is take a metal file to the edges of the tool. I would file a little bit off then test it out until you have the edge you want

Blades do require sharpening. If you can rub your finger on the blade and it feels smooth and rounded, get the blade sharpened. If the blade isn't the problem, you have a 2 year warranty on the mower, bring it in.

There is not a sharpener included. The blade comes sharpened but is not super sharp.

A stone will work fine. I've also used a diamond rod with great results. The transition is seamless as far as the edge is concerned, just less working room at the hollow ground tip. I would recommend a rod for this knife, but a stone will work fine with a little finess.

Pretty new piece of equipment for me. Have not had to sharpen the blade. I did use a little vegetable oil on the blade and it worked a bit smoother.

The Smith PP1 sharpener with the diamond coated rod should do the trick, I haven't needed to sharpen it yet however

You can use a flat file or a bench grinder if you have one. It's best to sharpen before each use.

If it is a real kershaw, and you pay to get it there, they will sharpen it for free. It was in the manual.

You'll never need to replace this blade. If you need to sharpen it you can remove the high quality Japanese made blade and get it professionally sharpened or do it yourself. Essentially you are buying the blade with this product. Quality Japanese kitchen knives of this length can easily run from $50-$100. I consider this a bargain because it can save you hours of time and time is money. Cheers

Contact a local print shop and find out who sharpens their blades for their machines. They should be able to direct you to a reputable company/person who can do it for you.
