Is the blade sharpened on both sides?

No, it can be sharpened along the last top third of the blade-but doesn't arrive that way from the factory.

The blade is relatively sharpened on the main and the drop of the blade. You will probably have to touch both up a bit if you want a razor edge .

The clip point is sharpened on the other side of the blade, while its not as sharp as the cutting edge of the blade I believe its purpose is for opening cans as well as to aid in driving the blade into certain thin gauge metals. The saw back on the blade is meant for cutting through rope and sheet metal, it was never intended for wood sawing like some may think when first seeing this knife. One thing I would like to add is the knife is easy to sharpen. Great knife for the price you pay.

No. Just the bottom is bladed. The top is flat. But the company makes some that are bladed both sides.

Yes. I own several different brand knives that have serrations and they are only sharpened on one side.

One side of the blade is smooth and the other is serrated. The serrated side cuts through roots easily when repotting pot bound plants and while digging in soil for planting. It also is a great tool for weeding. I love mine and wouldn't be without one after purchasing my first one a couple years ago. Carol

Bill:Yes, this has hollows on both sides of the blade. It is a wonderful blade, but it needs to sharpened frequently.

The blade is the same on both sides it is not ground like a steel blade on either side, hope this helps

This particular knife has both edges sharpened. I love the Shen products. I have 2, and plan to purchase more over the years. They are quiet expensive. We bought the first one at William Sonoma. Amazon. Is the way to go. I do have one of the one edged knives (another brand) and i don't use it very often.

Both sides are used for sharpening. The first one is used for sharpening and I think the second one refines the blade. Best sharpener ive had for the price.

From my understanding, a katana sharpens to the side, and this sharpens to the middle.

Yes, the edge is serated. I have 2 of these knives, they are very sharp and have ergonomic handles. I recommend them.

It does, But takes a little more care and attention. It means you have to lean the scissors over on to the Flat edge to ensure that you are only sharpening one side. Takes a little more time but works...

It only will sharpen a fine (smooth) edge. The first side is for a dulled edge, and the second side is for a finished edge.

It's sharp on one side only. It is a huge knife, and it will get someone's attention. It is also super sharp, be very careful when you close the blade!

Sharpened on both sides. Best if you get the smith pocket pal sharpener to go with the knife. Keeps a great edge on the blade,

It is double sided. You can cut from either side, which is nice. You can move it back and forth over a bush and get the best cutting angle.

One side actually grinds metaloff the blade while the other sidefinish hones it sharp

No, because the blade surface is double-edged; doing that would only dull the blade on one edge.
