do they need sharpening before you use for the first time ?

The skates I received were pretty sharp; not as good as a fresh grinding but much better than any rental skates you can get at a high volume rink.

Yes they do need sharpening but they are easy to re-sharpen. It's a good blade that doesn't rust easily.

You can sharpen them, but it will grind away a bit of the serrations each time, depending on which set of wheels your using that can cause your serrated blade to end up not so serrated after a while.

Yes. It is a good habit to sharpen after each wash. But, i dont always do that and they are still super sharp.

You can when you get practice with thembecause they come out the box really sharp. The first time i got them i kept cutting myself so just get used to them first before you do.

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.

Mine last a good while before they need sharpening. May depend on how often you are using them & what type/condition of coats you are using them on. These are #1 in my opinion �

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

I have purchased 3 sets of Chicago Cutlery, but I won't be much help with this question. I bought a set for myself several years ago, and it did not have a sharpener. I bought a set for my son last Christmas, and a set for my daughter in June. Neither of them have used the sharpener yet, which I suppose is a sign that the knives have stayed sharp enough without using the sharpener at all this far.

Doesn't need to be sharpened. I have had mine for over 10 years and it still works fine. Bought this one for a friend who used mine and couldn't believe how easy it was to use.

Of course, they are just steel knives with a colorful coating. Anywhere that the sharpening stones contact the blade the coating will be removed, so one should be careful to sharpen properly.

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

Hi Kullen,I have not actually needed a sharpener yet; however, I find the best sharpener for maintain this type of blade is a diamond or ceramic sharpening rod. Hope this helps. Thanks :-)

It's a fact of life that knives dull with use. I use these knives plenty and I ordered a sharpener with mine and use it very often. These are super knives and you will want to keep them always as sharp as when they were new.

Haven't had to sharpen it. It shouldn't need to be sharpened for some time unless you are really hard on the knife. I have used a leather strop to touch up blade and hone after use. When you buy the knife, it comes with sharpening recommendations on the box.

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