Can you sharpen these skates?

There should be no reason why not, however, I never did because I purchased these as training skates for balance and to help my 4yr old granddaughter feel more comfortable on the ice... not for long distance skating... just to make sure she didn't hurt her ankles so early in the learning process... Happy to report she now runs on the ice, no longer needs to hold mommy's hand and this year is graduating to single blade skates!

I heard that you can, but I never have. I think they sell just the blades on the website so it must be doable.

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.

If you are wanting sharp blades, you are probably a more advanced skater, and will want a higher quality pair. I purchased these for a novice skater. Hope this helps.

No.. they are cheap knives not meant to be sharpened. Chefs talk about using these types of knives and throwing them away and buying new ones because of their price. I think sharpening them would take off the finish.. but if you wanted to try .. use one of the 16 degree ones that you slide the knife through.

I personally have never had them sharpened. You may want to send email to company to ask.

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

The sword is made from stainless steel and is basicly like a hockey skate blade when you first buy it in a store (close to flat and about half a centimeter depth). Any stainless steel blade can be sharpened. Do not attempt to do it at home with a kitchen knife sharpener or sand paper. You would have to take it to a smithy. If your feeling lucky and cheap go find a hockey skate sharpener and run the sword through it like a credit card.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.

From what I could tell, they were either not sharpened or not sharpened very well. I just had an employee at the rink sharpen them before I used them.

I do not believe it can be sharpened. However, the cutting blade can be replaced, because I've had that done.

I did not attempt to sharpen the black ones (those ones were mainly intended for cosplaying, not actual use) however, with most blackened metal the black will be removed when you sharpen the blade as it is typically a surface treatment to alter the metal's color. However, the plain steel ones that I use for practice sharpened quite well though take care when doing so as to not unbalance them. This will make using them far, far more difficult. I would suggest to have them sharpened by a professional if you are unfamiliar with the process. Better safe than sorry.

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.

The only way I know of to sharpen a set of blades like this is by using a rat tail diamond hone. It is skill dependent and time consuming. Highly recommend purchasing a spare set of blades and scrap the idea of sharpening.
