Can/should it be sharpened by an electric sharpener? I have Chef's Choice. What are recommended, or at least acceptable, sharpening methods?

I do not have an electric sharpener so I can't comment, but perhaps an email to Victorinox company can help. I do sharpen my knife on a hand sharpener occasionaly and before I use it every time I give it a few swipes on a sharpening steel to remove any burrs- this works well.

My husband had his for years & never had to sharpen it. Guess you could use a sharpening stone if you need to sharpen it though.

I take mine to a professional knife sharpner at a quilt shop if they are very dull or nicked, I also use the edge sharpener I purchased from Amazon, my husband does it for me

You cant sharpen these knives, Use them as directed. Don't use counter tops or other hard surfaces to cut, use a cutting board, wood or plastic, this will keep the edge longer. take care of them and they will last for a long time.. NO WAY TO SHARPEN BY THE OWNER

Hey Dan. I haven't had to worry about sharpening the knife yet. I bought it a month ago and use it almost daily. The edge is still just as sharp as when I pulled it out of the package. I've seen other reviewers state that eventually it will need to be sharpened but I haven't reached that point yet.

Absolutely. I bought an electric sharpener when I bought this knife and have used it a couple of times since and it keeps it razor sharp.

If it is not serrated, I imagine you could sharpen it, but why? It is already very sharp,cuts any veggie. Mine has not lost any sharpness. If you do sharpen it, take care!

Very sharp and stay sharp! Yes they can be sharpened using standard method for sharpening or take to a sharpener. How often will depend on usage. When I reviewed these knives they were rated very high. I hope this helps with your decision to buy.

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

Say, just a suggestion. (I haven't purchased this, but was reading through the questions while considering.) Try looking on YouTube or searching on web. There's usually plenty of "How To" pages. (Of course, check before you purchase, as the instructions you prefer may not include the sharpener you're looking at.) I found this with a quick "How do you use a carbide sharpening tool to sharpen gardening tools?" It doesn't include this specific product, but it has some guidance. http://hort.uwex.edu/articles/maintaining-lawn-and-garden-tools/

I work in a pro kitchen and I have only used the knife at home. I think you would have to sharpen it if you still wanted that out of the box edge. Mine is going to have to be sharpened soon.

I got mine thru Amazon. electric Sharpener and it is fantastic. I use my knives everyday for everything and I usually cut only on a pad for Kyocera but still need to sharpen occasionally. The electric sharpen solves all my problems! Very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend cause I have too many knives to send back to Japan and I do not want to be without anyone of them for that long. I am spoiled and have one for every purpose they have made them so far! I have put steel knives including some of my Chefs knives in the bottom drawer. The ceramic are easier on my hands..less pressure required! I got mine thru Amazon. electric Sharpener and it is fantastic.

Our trimmer is new, so it has not needed sharpening yet, however, there are many articles to tell you how to do it yourself, such as on www.gardenguides.com/67541-sharpen-black-decker-electric-hedge... They say it is cheaper, however , I would have someone else do it , due to my limited skills. :-)

I've never used an electric knife. My guess is that it might not work well with the metal guide that fits very tightly against the knife blade. Also, it might damage the wood base. But I don't know for sure.

I would say no you don't. All I have is the Presto sharpener and it has sharpened evert knife in my house to a fine blade. It's so awesome having knives that actually cut! I'm very happy with my purchase.
