Will these knives ever need sharpening?

I don't know. I gave them as a gift. I have another brand that I use daily and haven't had to sharpen them yet.

I haven't used the sharpener, I bought the knife set a few months ago and they are still really sharp.

These knives require periodic sharpening. I don't know your kitchen habits as compared to mine, so what works for me may not work for you. But here are my thoughts on Chicago Cutlery Vivid knives...they sharpen easily (I use a Smith diamond encrusted sharpener with coarse and fine grits. I don't have to use it very often.) and they're easy to keep sharp with a sharpening steel. These are easy to care for...use a steel and sharpener regularly and you won't have a problem keeping them sharp. After several months of use I don't see any chipping of the color coating. And I prefer these knives to a couple of low end J A Henckels that I have.

I personally have never had them sharpened. You may want to send email to company to ask.

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

I don't think you would want to sharpen them. I have purchased a dozen of them and never sharpened any of them. I actually like it better when that point is gone.

Not sure, but I'm supposing no. I've had my knives for a long time and I use them more than any of my Cutco knives. Take care of these and I'm sure they'll last forever.

Hi Linda ::I think they are guaranteed to stay Sharp for life. I would contact the company for that information but they say nothing, as far as I can see, about guarantees for the whole knife. Good luck.

Not in my experience. I do not keep my kitchen knives razor-sharp but they are sharpened enough to easily cut through chicken, etc. Have never had an issue.

I have purchased 3 sets of Chicago Cutlery, but I won't be much help with this question. I bought a set for myself several years ago, and it did not have a sharpener. I bought a set for my son last Christmas, and a set for my daughter in June. Neither of them have used the sharpener yet, which I suppose is a sign that the knives have stayed sharp enough without using the sharpener at all this far.

They have a decent sharpened edge to them. No serrations, don't expect them to do well with a tough steak, but don't give them to a small child either. They could easily cut skin. I'd imagine if you needed to, you could dull them or sharpen them more.

Mine are still sharp, but there in no reason they can not be sharpened. I have full plans on sharpneing them once they get dull; I love these knives. Even ordered more as a gift to family.

Yes, they can be sharpened! I LOVE a sharp knife, and I sharpen all of my knives regularly! Kuhn rikon sharpener is great, but I recently got a new sharpener as a stocking stuffer, it's called "edge of glory", I love it too. These aren't expensive knives, but for the price, I love them. My old ones, I sharpen every other time I use them, my new ones are a joy to use! Even high dollar knives need to be sharpened every now and then! I give these as gifts!

Never ever sharpen ceramic knives yourself. They require a professional. If they are treated well and correctly, they won't need sharpening often and should last for many many years.

These knives are not sharpened because the NEVER need to be. You use that really cool chefs tool to re align the tiny tiny blades on the cutting edge. If you sharpen them they are destroyed. If you have ever cooked with fine knives you understand the thrill of their use. If not, you should try.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.
