How long does the sharpener and stone last?

Depends on how many times you use it. Be sure the chain stays taught on the bar or you over sharpen the chain and groove the stone excessively. I have not changed my stone since i put it on (getting close). Sharpen the chain when really needed NOT when you think it should. See OREGON POWER SHARP web site for more information. Happy wood cutting.

No, it sharpens pretty quickly. It will continue to sharpen until you pull it out.

I don't think it needs to be sharpened for a very long time. At the price, you can always get another one. If you want to spend $130.00 and up, you may have to have it sharpened professionally .

Haven't had to sharpen it. It shouldn't need to be sharpened for some time unless you are really hard on the knife. I have used a leather strop to touch up blade and hone after use. When you buy the knife, it comes with sharpening recommendations on the box.

I spoke with our technician and the electric chainsaw sharpener can turn 10 degrees to the right or left. I do not have any information on the length of time it would take to sharpen the blade but the technician did say that the sharpening stone is up against the steel blade. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Not being a professional chef, I can only say that sharpness depends on your use of the knife and your tolerance for a dull blade. I doubt that any knife will stay sharp for 2-3 months if it is used regularly: for my part, I split chickens with mine and sharpen every 3 days or so, since I want the knife to slice a tomato perfectly as well as whack up frozen meat. The few pro kitchens I've seen have a sharpening station always ready for use, so keep your stone handy and use it. If you want something better, the real pro-grade knives start around $200 each.

I have not sharpened mine yet and it has held a very sharp edge quite well since new. I carry it every day and take great care of it. When it needs sharpening I will use my (Smith's DBSF 6-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone - Fine) and I use (Smith's HON1-4OZ Honing Solution, 4-Ounce) both of these are available at Amazon $25 stone $5 for the solution. I am very careful when sharpening my knives and I'd never use a sharpening machine although I can't say if any are worth using I just prefer to carefully sharpen by hand.

Honestly if it was very dull when received I would have returned it , mine was & is very sharp still , but if you decided to keep it - You can't beat Sharpening on an Arkansas Wet Stone or similar Quality Wet Stone . It sometimes takes time & Skill to use stone properly but I've been doing that way since I've been 12 Years old & you can't Beat it . Do not use an Electric Sharpener it will only ruin the edge further .

Brand new, it is very long and sharp. As time has gone on, it doesn't seem as sharp as it originally was but it is still sharpens to a very good tip. I use it in a school setting multiple times a day with pencils and colored pencils over the last 6 mos.

I have no idea because I have not yet had to sharpen it. My experience with sharpeners is that it takes quite a while before they would need sharpening, so I wouldn't base a purchase decision on it.

Same answer as W. M. Werich. It's a long lasting sharpener for $20. So far it has sharpened a lot of edges.

The Schf10 is made of 1095 high carbon steel so its edge will last longer due to the hardness. So yes I would rather make a few passes on a diamond sharpener as oppossed to dozens of passes on an oil stone. Both work. I like to finsh up the edge with oil stones. I've only had my DMT for a few months but it still takes off metal quikly. I imagine they will last a few years with moderate use.

Mine last a good while before they need sharpening. May depend on how often you are using them & what type/condition of coats you are using them on. These are #1 in my opinion �

You go to Oregon's website and they say they offer a lifetime warranty. Go to some retail sites that sell the sharpener and they say it has a 12 month warranty. However, when I received my sharpener, there was a warranty card with it stating the sharpener had a 30-day warranty (from the date of purchase).....which would give you about three weeks since it takes about a week to ship. So I have no idea what the warranty actually is. All I can say is that the hydraulic assist sharpener is built like an M-1 tank....superb quality. Seems like it would last a lifetime. Once you set it up, it is very easy to use and the hydraulic assist helps speed up the chore of sharpening a chain quite a bit. Would recommend it to a friend.

I don't use anything, I just keep it in a kitchen drawer and it puts a decent edge on my German steel knives. If you want something like a razor you could start out with this and finish up with a diamond stone. I think I paid $6 for mine and it's worth that. It's probably not a stone for a purist but just a good, everyday stone.

I am not able to answer your question. I ordered this sharpener a short time ago and have not used it yet.

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.
