I don't think I have it long enough to answer this question. So far... so good! :)

We've used it daily for several months and can't tell the difference from day one. It is sharp... keep away from children.

I've only had it a month but it seems to not be dull at all.. but for a couple of dollars, get a couple if worried.. I use it about 1c a week to split the next week's pills.. good luck!

I've only had it for about a month and use it on a weekly basis to split pills for the following week. So far it is still sharp, but can't say how it will be in the long run. Not very expensive, so you might want to buy an additional one for back up.

Many pills actually will split with just a bit of pressure - they don't need a slitter, meaning that the blade on the pill splitter will stay sharper - for me, close to two years

It is extremely sharp when it is new, more so than any other tool I have ever had. I would imagine that no tool will remain sharp forever, but this one is doing very well.

These blades stay sharp for a long time. Make sure you use a soft cutting board not glass or stone. Rada offers a sharpener which will true the blade (straighten the edge). Its very easy to use and can be used to sharpen other non serrated knives. Even though it is very sharp after a year you will notice a difference when sharpened every 3-4 mos of regular (4-5 times a week) use.

I don't know if it has been a year, but a pretty long time. It has remained sharp. I can't say I use it every day or every week though. I have liked this product from the beginning. It has a good weight and balance. And the edge is still sharp.

Unknown. I purchased my Sharp over 10 years ago and it's still going strong. Recently I purchased the same model from Amazon in case mine finally gives up the ghost. I've been very satisfied with older model. Sorry I couldn't help with info on later models.

This knife is very sharp, only the first 3 inches from the tip. The middle section and the back is not really sharp. If you cut steak, onion or carrot, I think it's good enough as long as you using the tip. This is a really big/long knife.

Mine last about two years as well. It just doesn't cut the same and hurts. Replaced the blade and had a professional barber "zero" it in. Slight helped but still kinda hurts. Always kept mine well oiled. Going to purchase another one as this device has paid for itself time after time by allowing me to cut my hair at home.

Nope. It's very sharp. I was able to slip it into the cardboard cover it came in for about 10 months or so. It's a good saw anyway.

If youre only grooming one dog or your own dog it will last a forever, oil the blade and take it to get sharpened when It gets dull cost like 5$. But if ur a groomer doing mass amounts of dogs it can last maybe 1 or 2 years. This is if ur purchasing a good quality blade as well

If you keep the blade wet, it should do the entire job. I started with a spray bottle of water, gave the blade frequent shots, then trickled more into the cut behind the blade. As long as the blade is continuously lubricated and cooled with water, it will last a long time.

it is very durable a normal sharpner should do the trick. and always clean and oil it asap after each use.

When i got mine it was really sharp. but after a few months of use i sharpened it with a sharpener i had around the house. you may need a better sharpener.

I got this knife as a Christmas present for my husband though I've been the one to use it the most. So far I've only used it to cut vegetables and it's still super sharp. I would say we'll probably sharpen it in another few months. It came to us extremely sharp, by the way.

I was told they stay sharp longer. And if needed the metal part can be sharpened. But I have not tryed.

I'd say you can expect about 45 mins to an hour if you run it pretty constantly. It does go from strong cutting to dead pretty quickly, meaning it will cut well to the end.

Dishwasher posed no problems. Stayed sharp 2 or 3 months. Maybe I tried to cut stuff I should not have -- I seem to just grab a knife for "whatever"

Only a few minutes, its best used on a regular basis, say once a month, to maintain the edge. Works bese on the older home knives that have had a hard life.Best regards,Paul EastonCEO Razor Red
