If you have a waterstone for knives, you can use the waterstone like your would use an axe puck. If you are new to sharpening tools, the Lansky 4 rod system is an inexpensive and effective option. If you hold the head like an Ulu, you can sharpen it like a knife. Light pressure sharpens the edge.

You can buy the Fiskars hand held sharpener pretty cheap and that works really well!!!

It comes relatively sharp. You can further refine the edge with a bastard file and stone if you like. I would assume an axe sharpener would bring the edge back if it were very dull even though this hatchet doesn't have a true axe profile, but like a one step knife sharpener, the one step axe sharpener only does so much.

open the top as to sharpen then, Pull the top where you sharpen the pencils up. there is a small notch in the back that lines up to put it back

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.

Use the cheap roller sharpener from IKEA! I have been using that for all my Henkel's for years and found it to be the best sharpener ever. Easy and quick. A few strokes on the roller will make it sharp as new. Simple and easy and never damage your precious knives. Never leave your knives dull and abuse them for a long period. It may harm the edge too badly and that will require major surgery to revive it.

Good question we have had ours for many years and have not had to sharpen. We purchased a new one for when we wear out this one.

You could do it the old-fashioned way with a whetstone and some honing oil, or you could try a sharpening tool. I'm very pleaser with the SelecTool http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BTIS7I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1401299383&sr;=8-1π=SL75

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

D2 steel is too hard to be sharpened with a whetstone, you need to use either diamond sharpeners or ceramic crock sticks work well,

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

Haven't had to sharpen it. It shouldn't need to be sharpened for some time unless you are really hard on the knife. I have used a leather strop to touch up blade and hone after use. When you buy the knife, it comes with sharpening recommendations on the box.

The method I use is the worksharp electric sharpener. In the field I may use a crock box with ceramic rods or a regular stone sharpener

i sharpen them by hand, they seem too delicate to sharpen with an electric sharpener. works just fine.

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

Seems like I have to sharpen it constantly really sucks and it's like I can't get it sharp enough, hope this helped

I use the Lansky sharpening system and sharpen it by sections. I've also used the diamond edge "steel" to rought it in before I finished it. Works great for me!

slide on the back side of the knife. lay the guide and the edge of the knife to be sharpened on the stone surface. Sharpen the knife by pressing with a slight pressure on the knife edge and push towards the stone surface as if you are cutting a thin slice of cheese. Be sure to flip the knife over after one or two times to insure an even sharpening of the blade. You may have to work this for several minutes switching back and forth on both sides of the blade to get a good edge. It's not uncommon to have to work the edge of a knife blade for 20 minutes or more the first time you sharpen the knife. After you get a good edge on the knife and can slice a piece of paper in half without tearing then you have a good sharp blade. If you hone the blade by stropping (polishing with a leather strap and jewelers rouge) the sharpened edge will stay sharp for quite a long time before needing to use the stones again.

Contact a local print shop and find out who sharpens their blades for their machines. They should be able to direct you to a reputable company/person who can do it for you.
