I have had mines for over 2 years now and I have not sharpen my knives yet and they are still in excellent condition for cutting and slicing.

I don't know as this was a gift for my son & his girlfriend. I will ask though.

I've only had them less than a month so difficult to know how well they will hold their edge but of course up to this point fine. I did see mention where they were sharpened with a "steel"

So far I've had min for a few months, and I have used them a lot. Still nice and sharp, haven't had the need to sharpen it.

Very sharp and stay sharp! Yes they can be sharpened using standard method for sharpening or take to a sharpener. How often will depend on usage. When I reviewed these knives they were rated very high. I hope this helps with your decision to buy.

They are really sharp to start out with and they last a pretty long while. I'm not sure if they can be sharpened, although if they can't be sharpened I'm sure anyone could just replace the blades on then with new ones. I love these knives. Hope that helped in some way or another.

Any edge can be sharpened, you may have to take it to a hardware store, or Dremel may have a small tool to restore a nice edge.

They are fairly sharp. I find that I have to sharpen my paring knives rather frequently, but I abuse the heck out of them.

Yes, I have two that I have sharpened and haven't had any issues with them.

You cant sharpen these knives, Use them as directed. Don't use counter tops or other hard surfaces to cut, use a cutting board, wood or plastic, this will keep the edge longer. take care of them and they will last for a long time.. NO WAY TO SHARPEN BY THE OWNER

I wouldn't sharpen them, they do get blunt after a while, but I feel they're too fat for a sharpener (as you said). And also, unlike non-roll-up pencils, there is nothing to grip onto. I feel you lose too much product in the process of sharpening. It may help to put it in the freezer/fridge beforehand.What I try to do, is to apply it more from the sides than the tip, so the tip doesn't go as blunt, but wears more from the side. If that makes sense.

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!

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

They have a terrific guarantee policy: http://www.tweezerman.com/free-sharpening/ I haven't had mine sharpened; just bought another because everyone in my family has their own now! They do require sharpening, and can get out of alignment if dropped. Otherwise, they work great!

They are nice but they do not have the strongest magnets. I do not suggest this if you have a nice knife set. But to answer your question I have had nothing but problems with mine.

They can be sharpened with a flat sharping stone using a little pressure, taking your time (Few mins.) you will be able to feel the difference from when you started. Keep the blade flat on stone using slight circular motion.

Sprry for the delay in responding . I spoke with my daughter this morning and she said they can be sharpened several times - it will depend on how dull they are and who is doing the sharpening. There are several sharpeners out there but their work is not equal in how they sharpen blades or scissors. My daughter grooms dogs every day.

Yes. I sharpened a pair just this morning. The scissor blades need to open wide enough to accommodate the height of the sharpener, or if your blades come apart, that would even be easier.

No, they don't, but they are easily sharpened by any pencil sharpener, particularly an electric one.

Yes, they can as they are made of quality steel and fit in sharpening tools.
