Yes, they can as they are made of quality steel and fit in sharpening tools.

You can sharpen them however you want. That said, to protect the integrity of the knife you should stick to a traditional japanese whetstone and honing steel. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself Shun will sharpen them for free so long as you pay for shipping. Hope that helps!

No they can't be sharpened. Even if they could be it might not be worth it to sharpen them. Might be the same amount of money to just buy new ones.

I know you can sharpen scissors. I haven't tried yet but I have sharpened tin snips and axes. You can sharpen just about anything. All the guides come off or move to really work the tool.

I was told they stay sharp longer. And if needed the metal part can be sharpened. But I have not tryed.

Yes, I use them for everything. I've been grooming for 2+ years & these are my favorite shears. I haven't needed to have them sharpened yet (I've had them for a couple months) and so far they've been phenomenal.

Sprry for the delay in responding . I spoke with my daughter this morning and she said they can be sharpened several times - it will depend on how dull they are and who is doing the sharpening. There are several sharpeners out there but their work is not equal in how they sharpen blades or scissors. My daughter grooms dogs every day.

Don't even try it unless you want to ruin your scissors! Scissors are considered shears with the sharpened bevel on opposite sides of each blade. Use this sharpener and your scissors may never cut again. In the past, I did jobs using a precision scissors sharpening machine for a commercial drapery company.

You can sharpen them, I'm guessing until the end. I've only had to sharpen mine one or two times.

No, they do not come sharpened. But they are such great pencils that sharpening them for the first time use is totally worth it!

I have used tool a lot. blade still nice and sharp. I would think blades can be sharpened. I love this tool.

Yes, just don't try to sharpen scissors! I misread the directions the first time.... Now I have to send my kitchen shears back to the manufacture to be retooled. But, this works like an absolute dream on all my other knives!

I don't think so but you may want to research it on the internet a little. However, my knives have never dulled. I have broken/chipped them, but they did not dull. That is why I am glad these all have sheaths. As soon as I wash one, I put it back in the sheath and in the drawer. I also have to continually remind my husband that they are not tools. That is how one of my old ones broke. He was trying to use it to open a box or something.

Gee I'm sorry, I've never done hair cutting shears, but they work really great on all kitchen knives (don't know abt serrated), scissors, and hoe. I love these, and would absolutely purchase again. Don't forget, these have a lifetime warranty too!

I've never tried to sharpen them. I have sharpened other bits and blades etc. You would want to sharpen from the hole side only. I would imagine a dremel would work fine though.

I doubt the blades can be sharpened. This one replaced another B/D hedger that lasted over 15 years and still cut well. But, the old one's motor finally died and it was more expensive to replace that than buy a new unit.

No. As far as I know ceramic knives can't be sharpened, they have to be replaced.
