Yes they can be sharpened but I have not had to do anything to them yet except wash them. They are still very very sharp.

I haven't had to sharpen them at all yet.. they're super sharp... but im sure they can be sharpened.

Of course, they are just steel knives with a colorful coating. Anywhere that the sharpening stones contact the blade the coating will be removed, so one should be careful to sharpen properly.

I'm sure it could be sharpened that way. However, this knife has a very precise edge on it and you would want it sharpened by a professional that has the ability to match that specific edge. Me; I would take it to a pro. And I kept my knives sharp for years when I worked in professional kitchens.

I'm sure they can be sharpened by someone who knows what they are doing, but that being said... If these are used for cutting clothes off and not things like tin , metal, or otherwise they should not really dull ever. They are extremely sharp!

I don't think so but you may want to research it on the internet a little. However, my knives have never dulled. I have broken/chipped them, but they did not dull. That is why I am glad these all have sheaths. As soon as I wash one, I put it back in the sheath and in the drawer. I also have to continually remind my husband that they are not tools. That is how one of my old ones broke. He was trying to use it to open a box or something.

The only way to sharpen them is to sharpen the non-serrated side of the scissors. If the scissors do become dull, simply let me know and I will send you out a replacement pair free of charge.

serrated blades can be sharpened. Just get a Diamond sharpener for serrated blades. I got mine at Lowe's

I don't think you can sharpen these blades. They don't come out of the housing and the blades can't be separated.

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.

I assumed they were to be used as-is. Most of us would not own the equipment to sharpen, nor know how to do it. there is a coating (paint) on the blade, and my impression was that they did not appear very sharp out of the box.

From what I hear there are places where you can sharpen this kind of knives. But I don't know if it would be possible to do it at home.

They are not serrated and I don't believe they need sharpening. Maybe way down the road they may need it. I have had mine for a few months now and love them. Sharp knives make cooking so much nicer.

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.

The Komachi knives can be sharpened but there is a specific way to sharpen them. Go to eHow.com and search how to sharpen a Komachi knife. I know that the Komachi 2 knives are relatively low in cost, but I wouldn't want to ruin them by an improper sharpening technique.

Yes these will need to be sharpened at some point in their life as all do at some point. These however have maintained a very good edge over the past 18 months we have had them.

You can but I definitely wouldn't for knives that good. Read "An Edge in the Kitchen". It has an excellent section on sharpening knives; i.e. whether to send them out (and to whom) or do them yourself. And if you sharpen them yourself, what tools are available and how to use them.

I would suggest that you go to a commercial print shop and ask where they send their blades to get sharpened. You can have them resharpened.

Yes, you can sharpen them with a commercial sharpener or hone the edges. I have read online that people have sent them in for sharpening and the CostCo website says that "all non-serrated knives are hand-sharpened on a whetstone, and finished on a Japanese leather wheel for the best quality cutting edge" so that would probably work too. Good luck!
