Could the blade be sharpened?

This particular sword comes UNSHARPENED, and is a REPLICA meant for DISPLAY or a COSTUME ACCESSORY ONLY!! It is NOT made to be sharpened. You will pay much more for one that is/can be sharp! Go to Whetstone Cutlery website for more information!

Theoretically, you could sharpen just about any blade. The better question is, would it be practical? The answer to that question is a resounding, no. It's not high grade steel at all, and if you go swinging the thing around too much, the handle will break right off. It's a costume prop, no more, no less

Yes I belive so but it will take time and lots of work, it has no edge at all. You could easily mess it up if you don't know what your doing. You would have to start with a file not a sharpening stone.

I beekive it is not sharp when you buy it. it made out of stainless steel not carbon if thats the type of claymore you are looking for.

Yes it can be sharpened. It doesn't come completely blunt in the box though, the edge is sharp-ish.

With a lot of effort, yes, it could be sharpened...however, it is not needed. The point is plenty sharp enough to pierce from a thrust, and the blade is heavy enough to cut from a good swing without being sharpened.

Historically, some swords were meant to have a sharpened edge(s), like a katana and some swords were not sharpened along the entire blade edge, like a broadsword or highland claymore. Modern replicas, historically accurate and not, are made by different processes by different manufacturers and if one chooses to sharpen a blade, I would suggest checking with the manufacturer before having this done or attempting the process. If you wish to purchase a stage steel/combat ready (or similar) blade, many manufacturers have specific blades that fit the more rigorous specifications that are required by a stage steel weapon.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

No but I think in the details you can request it to be sharp, I of course thought I'd just sharpen it myself :P

Possibly heavy blade, may need to sharpen, may need to learn how to correctly use a long blade.

I am not really sure, but thinking a little on the subject, I wonder if the serated blade might get hung up in the sharpening part? If that happened then you could not use it all? Just a thought????

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

Depends on your skill level. It is shaped like a small lawn mower blade; if you have successfully sharpened one of those, you can sharpen this.

From what I hear there are places where you can sharpen this kind of knives. But I don't know if it would be possible to do it at home.

The "blade" is already blunt in that instead of coming to a sharp edge, it has a radius (curve) on it. I suppose if you wanted to flatten it by grinding, you could. However, I'd be careful in not going too much or too fast. You could take too much off, or overheat it, making weaker!

No, blades are molded into plastic and can't be removed or sharpened.baKblade works the best and completely worth the price!

I have never tried it but I suppose you could if the blade fit in the sharpeners

Not as per the directions. The sharpener is supposed to rest on a counter surface. The machete blade would likely be too long.

It CANNOT be sharpened. You are correct. The induction hardening makes this a disposable saw. However it is priced as such. When it's exceeded it's useful life, I cut the plate into card scrapers.

Yes it can be sharpened. I just make a few swipes on my fine steel between uses and its razor sharp. The blade is very thin so its great for fine thin slicing which is what I use it for.

This blade need to be sharpened by a profesional, or get a new brand blade.

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