Is the blade replaceable? Or should it be sharpened? I'm buying this for my partner, and have noo idea how these things work.

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.

AS far as I know you can not sharpen it. I had mine for longer than 5 yrs. I also used it almost every day! You should only be using it to slice vegetables. I broke the hand the blade was fine.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

Keep in mind though you usually have to pay for shipping and handling. If it is broken I would send it in for a warranty but if it just needs to be sharpened I would say just sharpen it yourself, it is really easy

I don't know...suggest you contact Midwest products. If replacement proves difficult blade can be sharpened.

My blade arrived very sharp, so if you're expecting yours to be dull you're in for a suprise. Now, if you've already dulled yours out then you can sharpen it. This blade comes with a very good edge on it.

From what I've read, the blade is not removable. I have no experience trying to remove the blade though.

Mine came with a used blade, rough cut type, it was still sharp, but if you want to to some nice work invest in some better blades

Haven't bought a replacement blade, but i saw them on Amazon for about $8 That is not a bad price, or I should say it is the best price. When using that edger do not concrete with the blade or any other blade because it will wear very quickly. I let somebody use my old edger once and I could see him acroos the street hitting concrete edges and corners, my blade was dull after that.

If you were going to replace the blades, you might as well replace the whole thing - it is basically a ton of blades attached to a handle and some wheels, I would go with sharpening it with one of the kits they sell specifically for this kind of mower.

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 have not had to sharpen the blades as of yet, (I have used 2 summers). However, if I had to I would take to my lawnmower person for sharpening or new blades. :)

The blade is basically a heavy razor blade that is replaceable. I am using a serrated blade in my knife. I would say yes.

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

The blades are very difficult to sharpen, I suggest new blades. I have had 3 of these knives and the trigger has broken before the blades need to be replaced.
