Are the blades already sharpened???

From what I could tell, they were either not sharpened or not sharpened very well. I just had an employee at the rink sharpen them before I used them.

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.. they are cheap knives not meant to be sharpened. Chefs talk about using these types of knives and throwing them away and buying new ones because of their price. I think sharpening them would take off the finish.. but if you wanted to try .. use one of the 16 degree ones that you slide the knife through.

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.

We enjoy the clippers but have not used them enough to have to have the blades sharpened yet. I can tell you experience with knives as well as commercial paper cutters that any blade will wear down when sharpened...At some point they will have to be replaced. Make sure that you use the oil when you use the clippers as this will help them stay sharper longer.Take care,Greg

They have a tapered grind edge, with a slight angle at the tip of the knife, I have these and have had no problems sharpening them, I love all my Chicago Cutlery. You cant go wrong for the money.

They come sharp not razor sharp but sharp enough to get the job done with no problems I've ordered 3 sets of these blades and I always just put them right on and they work great!! Hope this helps

No, they do not come already sharpened, but for the price and custom printing, it's a great deal compared to others I looked into.

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.

As an long time skater myself, we had the kids blades sharpened, as it is always the best course when using any skates for the first time. It is not necessary to do so, but the kids will skate smoother and easier. Your local rink or sporting goods store should be able to do it quickly and inexpensively. Best regards!

Yeah. Out of the package they should be ok, but they need to be sharpened a bit to be truly effective.

These knives are not sharpened because the NEVER need to be. You use that really cool chefs tool to re align the tiny tiny blades on the cutting edge. If you sharpen them they are destroyed. If you have ever cooked with fine knives you understand the thrill of their use. If not, you should try.

I doubt the blades can be sharpened. This one replaced another B/D hedger that lasted over 15 years and still cut well. But, the old one's motor finally died and it was more expensive to replace that than buy a new unit.

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.

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

My experience with the new knives is that they are sharpened in a production environment that doesn't allow the fine honing that's required for a truly sharp knife. I would put a finish hone on the knife right out of the box.
