The blade I got is not pointed (actually clipped at the end by some 3mm). Is it a manufacturing defect or is it intentional (for sharpening later)?

The one i recieved was pointed and not broken at all. I would contact the company if i were you.

I have this MTECH and it has a nice sharp transition to the point at the end...

Mine is pointed, just as it appears in the picture. Very solid, have not actually put it to the "test", but I am satisfied with it. I would contact the manufacturer, sounds like a defect to me.

if there is a chip out of the end of the blade it is a defect. mine looks like the one pictured on the web page

There are NO HOLES in the end of the blade. There is a SEMI-CIRCLE cutout on the end. I have a photo if needed

In my experience with this blade: WITH effort and focus maybe. If it were something you needed to cut quickly as in a life threatening moment, I would say no. I have a feeling mine that I ordered was not fully sharpened though(Bad batch maybe?). So I would definitely look for more reviews.

The handle on mine is permanently attached. The sharpener was ready for use out of the box. What you are experiencing does not sound proper. Hope this helps.

No this is not normal. Mine works just fine and easy. About the blade release, I found that the button on the right side of the knife releases the left blade and the button on the left side releases the right blade. I think the knife is great and am impresssed with the quality.

Its not sharp already? I received mine as a double sided blade. I believe that in most states it is illegal to carry a double sided blade but as long as it stays in the home there is nothing to worry about

Return it and get another... this should never be an issue. I just had an alignment issue on the one I ordered on Amazon. Had to RMA it.Also, make sure to never crimp when the wires aren't passed through the tool properly and straight, this will cause the blade to get bent or dull prematurely. ...I'm no longer ordering these on amazon, I haven't had good luck with quality from the ones received on here, now getting from approved platinum tools dealers and having much better luck.

the real reason is because the edges break and chip like crazy. This is a gallery of 3 of our knives, one new and two we have had for a very long time. No, before anyone asks, they were never sharpened wrong (at least not with any of those terrible carbide sharpeners, only diamond rods.) and while these still cut, they aren't supposed to be serrated like that. http://imgur.com/a/WUzS6

The small picture with the knife on a 45 degree angle is pretty accurate, but when you click on it and get the zoomed-in image of the horizontal knife - that one does have a taller grind than mine, definitely - just an odd photo I think.

Once you get it sharpened you might try using a honing steel after each use. A couple of swipes and the knife stays very sharp. It will postpone having to have the knife resharpened.

The packaging may have changed. The Blades I am using appear exactly as the picture. They where purchased early in 2014. I would suggest contacting the manufacture http://www.personna.com/ Send them a picture of what you have received. They will be able to identify if it is there product. Sincerely, TG

I am not really sure, but thinking a little on the subject, I wonder if the serated blade might get hung up in the sharpening part? If that happened then you could not use it all? Just a thought????

Mike, you have it all wrong about the blade. It's the handle not the blade (head) it is referencing to hold at a 45 degree angle. I have the Schick Hydro and the sharpener works just fine with this razor. Just make sure to sharpen while running water over the sharpener or submerse it while sharpening the razor head. Good luck.

I took the blade off to clean it. Be advised the blade is very sharp. Watch how u handle it.

Yes, you are correct. There are tiny serrations on the edge of the blade and it was necessary to further sharpen the blades using a simple trick of cutting aluminum foil, overall I am quite satisfied with the blades especially at the price I purchased.

I'm seeing the same thing so it appears to be normal behavior. Here's that area from my knife, 2 months after moderate use: http://i.imgur.com/6YeplWF.jpg It looks worse than it is; if you run a point across the "gouge" it really isn't that deep.

email the maker of the knife/ send the knife to the maker for replacement, but get their ok before you send it, hope this helps.
