Is the blade disposable or can be sharpen?

As far as the blade being disposable, I suppose you could throw it away if you wanted. It is interchangeable meaning you can change it out with a different blade. I haven't used mine that much yet, so don't know about sharpening it.

The blade is just like a fine cheese grater but I can't imagine how you could sharpen a cheese grater. It does not appear to be disposable to me but I am no expert. I am your everyday DIY'er.

Yes, in my opinion. It's metal & plastic. But the finish may wear off, and it may lose some sharpness. At the price you could just throw it out and buy another :-) I just hand rinse mine with a bit of soap and wipe dry. This is good advice for all knives. Dishwashers are harsh on them.

This will not sharpen it as well as one would wish. This is more to maintain the sharpness of a professionally honed blade or clean up a disposable blade to prolong life.

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.

The blade is not replaceable, I was told by a Fiskars Rep that if the blade were to dull or become damaged I would have to replace the whole thing. I don't know if the sticks are replaceable or not.

Yes it can be sharpened. I just make a few swipes on my fine steel between uses and its razor sharp. The blade is very thin so its great for fine thin slicing which is what I use it for.

I don't think it needs to be sharpened for a very long time. At the price, you can always get another one. If you want to spend $130.00 and up, you may have to have it sharpened professionally .

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.

Absolutely not, it is a carbide sharpener, plus the blades are replaceable.

I have not attempted to sharpen it. I use it for cutting and scraping dough.

Troy I'm not sure the blade is designed to be replaceable. Looking at it it could be done but the steel in the blade is fairly thick and it would be easy to resharpen it.

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've never looked to try and find. I think it could be disassembled, in order to sharpen the blades.

You can sharpen the blade! I pulled the blade out and took it to my local knife sharpener. He did it for a few bucks and it's good as new! You can also pull the blade out and use your blade straightener on it too.

I have not had a need to sharpen the blade. It has been used seasonally and this is the second year of use. It is extremely sharp when it arrives and it remains sharp. I'm not certain as to what I will use to sharpen when the time comes.

I doubt the blades can be sharpened. This one replaced another B/D hedger that lasted over 15 years and still cut well. But, the old one's motor finally died and it was more expensive to replace that than buy a new unit.

Contact Gerber and show them that there is no blade. Or, you could sharpen it yourself..
