I see no reason that the cutter blade could not be resharpened. Haven't seen the need as yet...and I've used it a lot!

I have used tool a lot. blade still nice and sharp. I would think blades can be sharpened. I love this tool.

I do not think the blades can be replaced. Careful sharpening might be done but with proper care and used as designed I think these loppers will last many years without either being necessary.

No. As far as I know ceramic knives can't be sharpened, they have to be replaced.

Yes, you can replace the blades/cutter - the replacement cutter assembly is X-ACTO item #1674. There's a video on how to do it on YouTube - "How to Replace the Cutters on an X-ACTO® School Pro® Pencil Sharpener (1670)"

Yes, of course it can be sharpened. Get to it! You'll be done in less than an hour! Cheers!

I read the instructions and it doesn't say you can remove the blade. It does say if you get a nick in the blade you can use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick. Hope this helps you.

You can sharpen the blade! I pulled the blade out and took it to my local knife sharpener. He did it for a few bucks and it's good as new! You can also pull the blade out and use your blade straightener on it too.

If you were going to replace the blades, you might as well replace the whole thing - it is basically a ton of blades attached to a handle and some wheels, I would go with sharpening it with one of the kits they sell specifically for this kind of mower.

yes, the blade can be replaced but, you wouldn't need to because it can be sharpened. this product also comes with the sharpening stone. it's best to give the blade a few strokes with the stone every 100th cut or so to get a clean cut.

i've never looked to try and find. I think it could be disassembled, in order to sharpen the blades.

I believe you can do both or either. Looks like the blade is removeableby taking out the Allen screw that holds it to the frame. Suggest checking with the manufacturer.

Yes you can. Traditionally only the last 1/2 to last 1/4 of the blade was sharpened. A caveat exists. Generally blades from China are poor at holding a good edge, and are very brittle (i.e. the blade is more decoration than functional), so do some research on the steel used in making the blade.

The blades are very difficult to sharpen, I suggest new blades. I have had 3 of these knives and the trigger has broken before the blades need to be replaced.

I doubt the blades can be sharpened. This one replaced another B/D hedger that lasted over 15 years and still cut well. But, the old one's motor finally died and it was more expensive to replace that than buy a new unit.

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

I have no idea though I have had one for some time. It's cheaper to buy a new one than conventional sharpening unless you can do it all yourself.

They sell replacement chains that come with a new sharpening stone as well. You just replace the chain on this bar like normal, and replace the sharpening stone in the sharpener.

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.
