Eventully, when the blade gets dull, can it be replaced?

No, but I've had one of these for about ten years now, and it's just started having problems cutting within the past month. I looked to see if it could be fixed, but it looks like I'm better off just to replace it.

I am nor sure about replacing it - but Hamilton Beach is a good company so possibly they would replace the blades. It actually has very strong & rather thick blades too. I doubt it would wear out as quickly as the earlier type blades. Thank you for your question - Linda

I am not sure about that, so far mine is still very good at opening all types of cans, although I assume eventually it will become dull and therefore harder to open the lids.

when there is no more drag on the blade you are sharpening. the groves that are cut into the rod get worn to the point they become smooth. im not sure if you can " sharpen the sharpener " or not it would be best if you would call one of the blade manufacturers and find out for sure . otherwise its time to replace it

I never heard of anyone cleaning the blade. As far as I'm concerned, when the blade wears out, you replace it.

Yes. The blades have two edges and can be flipped around when the first set of edges starts to dull.

Good question...I don't know. I know they tell you to use the brush and the oil to keep the blades going, but replacement blades would be nice.

Yes, they get dull after 3 months heavy use or 6 months of lite use at this time the blades should be changed

i have used my trimmer for 5 months but have not experienced any dulling of the blades. black&decker; only refers to removing a nick in the blade not anything about resharpening the entire blade. they do mention that the blades are made of high quality hardened steel , with normal usage will not require resharpening. for repair , replacement parts , or warranty assistance the phone number i have is 1-800-544-6986 or blackanddecker.com . i hope this will help.

I'm not sure. In my case, the motor does not work any longer, so replacing the blade wouldn't matter...

Yes, replacing the broken blade with this particular blade enhance my cutting ability. Also, with blade bring flat, u will cut better than the original blade that come on the clippers. I wanted to cut a closer fade, so I replace the original. You will like how this blade definitely cut.

Haven't yet had any dulling of the blade-only using it sporadically-knife sharpener service should be able to take care of it

For a few bucks you can send it back to cold steel. They'll bring it to shave sharp for you.

If you go to the website it will tell you the replacement for your blade . I am sure there is one

I've never heard of anyone doing that. I'd imagine if you needed repairs of that nature you could just send it to S&W but its probly easier/cheaper to just buy another if you've damaged yours to that extreme. I've had many folding knives and had them sharpened many times without ever worrying about replacing the blades.

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.

No idea. I imagine it will probably be easier to buy a replacement blade when the time comes than trying to sharpen the one on it

I looked in the manual and it says that the warranty is not covered by "routine maintenance items such as lubricants, blade sharpening". That leads me to believe you can sharpen the blades.

Yes blade replacements are needed occasionally (more often if you are cutting thicker material). Blades are anywhere from 8-15 dollars depending on where you purchase, and if on sale or not. Simple replacement, diy.
