I am sure it would dull over time. Not sure how it would sharpen. Ours is still going strong.

This is a very high quality tool. I have only used it a few times, but I can't imagine it getting dull for many, many years to come. It doesn't cut into the mango seed, so all it's going through is soft fruit. It is quite sharp, and made of high quality steel. It works magnificently. Just peel the mango with a potato peeler, cut off the tip of one end so it will remain upright while you use the tool, position the tool properly in relation to the mango pit, and with both hands press straight down. It is totally safe, as opposed to cutting pieces off of a slippery mango with a knife. You will have a lot more fruit than with a knife. Sometimes it leaves some mango on the pit, but I just nibble that off. Honestly, I eat more mangoes because I have this tool. It's not a hassle to cut them up anymore. As far as sharpening, I don't think you could do that easily, but if used correctly, I don't think you'd ever need to at all.

I bought this for a family sibling but as far as I know the blade doesn't dull very quickly. Don't know about the sharpening as they are pretty cheap I would just buy a new one.

Yes it can be sharpened. It doesn't come completely blunt in the box though, the edge is sharp-ish.

Its not sharpened to a fine point. It is "blunt". It is pointed enough to cause pain but not be looked a as a weapon.

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.

My blade arrived very sharp, so if you're expecting yours to be dull you're in for a suprise. Now, if you've already dulled yours out then you can sharpen it. This blade comes with a very good edge on it.

Hi. Bothe sides of the blade are hollow grind sharpened. If you are looking for this type of cutting instrument I believe you will be pleased.

it comes pretty dull, but once sharpened, it can cut through alot, it's sturdy, but thick, and needs quite a bit of sharpening.

No, because that would dull it considerable, and probably lower the temper in the blade due to excessive heat. The blade is much thinner than a conventional kitchen knife.

The blade is real steel. I was impressed for the money. The edge is not sharpened and can not cut, at least on mine. It could be sharpened. The point is sharp however and could use dulling if you are giving this to an older kid. mine was a gift

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

I'll spend a good half hour stone sharpening it, and use a sharpening steel daily on it. After a stone sharpening, it goes dull in less than a week. Not sure if its factors I control (storage, improper use of stone, etc.) Or if the knife just goes dull that fast anyways. Yes, I use it in a professional kitchen. Its why I bought this knife, so I could have a decent one at work.

carefully...... jk mine has yet to become to dull! As long as you don't cut something stupid with it, it stays pretty sharp. It would defiantly have to be a some what free hand deal if you were to sharpen it. However I wouldn't let that stop me from buying this knife it is for sure one of my favorites in my collection!

Yes. It uses a different angle than smooth edge blades so make sure when you use a steel to use the correct angle (I think it's 20 degrees but I may be mistaken). I used a standard knife sharpener on it and it dulled the knife. If you use a sharpener makes sure it's designed to work with these kinds of blades. And when you get all this right be careful.. these knives are S H A R P.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file. HTH, Robert
