Less than average. Its not that sharp brand new. I had to sharpen it out of the box. I have purchased a about a dozen knives on amazon and the best brand of knife I found is Schrade. They're a little more expensive but durable and stay sharper then any other brand. I would say Smith & Wesson would be the only other blade I would recommend.

It is difficult to give a general answer because it depends upon how dull the knife is, the pressure you exert and the type of steel in the blade. Usually about three strokes on course and three on finish should give a reasonably sharp edge.

I have washed mine in the dishwasher for 8 months, use almost every day, and its still very sharp. You are supposed to use a wood cutting board and I do half the time.

The knife was extremely sharp when I got it. I loved the way it sliced homemade bread so easily. The sharpness lasted only a few weeks and I was worried about using my knife sharpener on it because although it looks ceramic it is not. The sharp edge is metal and I was worried there wasn't enough metal showing to sharpen. No worries though if you have a good sharpener you will be able to bring back the initial sharpness. I love the size and shape of the knife and now that I can sharpen it easily, I would recommend it.

Hey Dan. I haven't had to worry about sharpening the knife yet. I bought it a month ago and use it almost daily. The edge is still just as sharp as when I pulled it out of the package. I've seen other reviewers state that eventually it will need to be sharpened but I haven't reached that point yet.

I would think you could tell when your knives no longer cut properly. Also I don't need to use it that often, so I believe for me it will last quite a while.

it is very durable a normal sharpner should do the trick. and always clean and oil it asap after each use.

I use my knives daily. I sharpen every 3 to 4 weeks. The ceramic blades stay sharp for quite a while. Except for the serrated knife, which cannot be sharpened with the sharpener.

I don't need to use it daily because after you use it the first time (edge of blade upward 12 o'clock position swiped around 4 times) your knife should hold it's sharp edge for many uses. I hope this helps.

carefully...... jk mine has yet to become to dull! As long as you don't cut something stupid with it, it stays pretty sharp. It would defiantly have to be a some what free hand deal if you were to sharpen it. However I wouldn't let that stop me from buying this knife it is for sure one of my favorites in my collection!

So far it's a good knife. I have had it for 5 months. In the dishwashers almost everyday. I use it on a plastic cutting board. Still sharp , no rust, best knife I have. And at a great price too

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.

If youre only grooming one dog or your own dog it will last a forever, oil the blade and take it to get sharpened when It gets dull cost like 5$. But if ur a groomer doing mass amounts of dogs it can last maybe 1 or 2 years. This is if ur purchasing a good quality blade as well

I hand wash this knife and have not had to re-sharpen it since I purchased it. It has been at least six months. It is a stainless steel blade and plastic handle so it should hold up in the dishwasher. However, no knife blade does well in the dishwasher generally speaking, banging into things it shouldn't.

It's sharp enough but I don't know how long it will keep its edge cutting carpet, I used to install carpet and best thing for that is a razor knife. They have one that is angled that works real well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Easy-To-Use-Pivoting-Carpet-Knife-with-Blade-Included-Cut-Carpet-Easily-/161264931456?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258c239280
