Do these come pre sharpened ?

no, and I wouldn't buy these again, I had the black warrior and thought these would be the same, but they are cheap ones, the lead is not as smooth and the wood is cheaper wood, so when you sharpen them the wood is rough and not smooth. i think its the difference between the cedar ones ( more expensive) and these cheaper ones. I think i will buy the more expensive ones next time,as these are not fun to write with.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but don't let that stop you from buying a Paper Mate product. It's a good pedigree and even if you buy pre-sharpened pencils you'll have to keep on sharpening them as needed. Just get a good sharpener. Good luck!

No, they do not come sharpened. But they are such great pencils that sharpening them for the first time use is totally worth it!

Mine did not come sharpened. (That suits me better because I don't care for the points pre-sharpened pencils come with.) It is a wonderful pencil. They sharpen on center, the lead is dark enough for students who don't press hard. It erases well. The point lasts much longer than most of the pencils elementary grades students bring to class. I haven't noticed "hard spots" in the leads that leave scratches. The paint doesn't peel off. The diameter is nice for young and old hands. All that said, I would only use it for artwork (sketching) if I was in a tight, but it is a nice writing instrument. Mine did not come sharpened.

I don't think you can sharpen them, we ordered new ones from the manufacturer.

I don't think they are. I just got them and I was expecting sharp blades and found there are brand new but not sharp at all. These do not serve my need at all. Either I send them back or find someone to sharpen them, I clearly cannot use these blades as they are!

Mine did. There ok but I switched them out with blades but I guess the answer is yes they do

These knives do not come with a sharpener. We recommend that these knives be handwashed and dried only.

Yes these will need to be sharpened at some point in their life as all do at some point. These however have maintained a very good edge over the past 18 months we have had them.

NO, they are very strong, just use a little lite oil on the cutter before sharpening, as instructed in the tips on the website. Works great!!!

Yes all the shoes need sharpening prior to use. You cud check with the sharpening store and they wud be able to say yes or no. Unsharpened shoes means more tripping

Mine came ready to go. I've used them numerous time and they still don't need sharpening. I've had them looked at by the experts at the rink and mine still don't need sharpening, but it depends on how often you skate. I just love these skates and you can't beat the deal. Hope this helped.

These Gator blades come sharpened. They are not "razor sharp" but my experience has shown they do an excellent job of cutting.

I have owned this set for a few months now. I have not tried to sharpen them because they are still as sharp as the first day I got them. They do not show sign of dullness. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure since I haven't had that issue so far. Have you tried to take them to a local hardware store to see if they can be sharpened? Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file.HTH,Robert

No, they don't, but they are easily sharpened by any pencil sharpener, particularly an electric one.

I'm not sure because I haven't had to sharpen mine yet. I would think that they could be because like someone else said they aren't made out of something that is not out of the ordinary. They should last a while before they need to be sharpened.
