I have used mine to dig up plants, big rocks and just this weekend tore down a sidewalk made of bricks, edge is still sharp. With its weight and length I imagine using a big file, while the tool is resting on a workbench will be best.

The edge is not sharp. It's more like a giant flathead screwdriver. Even though the edge is not sharp it digs into hard-packed ground very efficiently.

Edge doesn't need to be that sharp but if a concern then a rotating grinding/honing stone with the blade held to provide a bevel. Kinda heavy to hold in position though so a bracing system may be needed.

Yes it isn't razor sharp when you get it. You can sharpen it but it doesn't remain black.

Yes it can be sharpened; the blade is metal and can be sharpened like a standard knife/sword. I have not sharpened it because it came pretty sharp (mainly at the tip) and also it was for my son where the duller the better!

It comes very sharp and i havent needed to sharpen it even after constant us for a few months.I would say that yes at some point when you sharpen it,it will take a small layer of the coating of near the blade.

I have owned this set for a few months now. I have not tried to sharpen them because they are still as sharp as the first day I got them. They do not show sign of dullness. Hope this helps.

I bought this for a family sibling but as far as I know the blade doesn't dull very quickly. Don't know about the sharpening as they are pretty cheap I would just buy a new one.

We've had this knife almost a year and the sharpener works fine still. I think EVENTUALLY it would wear out, but would probably take a long time. Hope that helps!

It comes with a sharpener that you lightly run down the edge. I prefer to lock the razor down when doing this. It stays sharp for a long time, you shouldn't need to sharpen it for awhile. Try not to run it over gravel or rocks.

Yes, the sharpener, sharpens the blades well. It isn't used, too often, as the blades stay sharp, for a long time. I would assume, if you are a chef or really cook a lot-----you would sharpen the blades, more frequent. My daughter in law, cooks a lot, and does not use the sharpener, a lot. She has the same set, and loves it, too !

om gosh, it is so super sharp, I have never had to sharpen it...it is razor sharp no pun intended. just make sure you wipe off blades carefully before you put it away and it will stay quite sharp.

Your question prompted me to try sharpening a couple bread knives and they did sharpen up. This iis a powerful sharpener and you have to be cateful with rhe sharpened knives afterwards.

it comes pretty dull, but once sharpened, it can cut through alot, it's sturdy, but thick, and needs quite a bit of sharpening.

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. :)

I've just purchased mine this year so I haven't had to sharpen the blades. but there is a specialized tool for it that is pulled along the blade. That all I know about it.

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

The rod that comes with it is actually a "honing" rod. Sharpening is what must to be done to a dull knife to make it sharp again. This is best done by professionals. Honing is what is done to a relatively sharp knife to maintain a nice sharp edge. This you can and should do yourself. If you regularly use the honing steel provided, you will not have to sharpen these (or at least not as often). We love our set. We hone them each time we use them and they all still have a great edge.

I have sharpened small paring knives with it. It only leaves a small amount, maybe 1/2 inch or less, unsharpened. It is not really noticeable. This sharpener is a very nice one compared to many others I looked at.
