The blades do not come sharpened. I went to sports authority and had them sharpened for five dollars..

The Blades come Sharp, so be careful when you are working around them. I cover mine when not in use, because of my noise cats. They are not as sharp as knives, but I would Still be careful. I would Think once a season would be a good time to sharpen. There is a kit that you can buy for that.

I have two sets. The first set I bought 2 years ago and the second set last year. I have never sharpened them. I love these knives.

They were sharpened, but not completely. I would take them in before first use.

Mine came with a set of blades. Metal, wood, ect. I cut steel pipe with one of them, so I would hope so.

YES they do, they have an excellent quality blade, I have had one in my pocket for over 20 years, Great little knife! I sharpen mine with a homemade flat with 320 sand paper on it to touch it up once in awhile. If you have problems sharpening it, have a pro hit it on the belts they use one time and bring it back. that is how the factory sharpens them...Erik

Of course they do. Friction will eventually dull even SS edges. The friction of cutting any hot meats will do it more quickly. I sharpen mine using a manual ceramic sharpener. These knives are a good deal for their price.

I don't think you can sharpen these blades. They don't come out of the housing and the blades can't be separated.

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. :)

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file.HTH,Robert

Yes, they did come ready to use. I found that they did not keep their sharp edge as long as others I have purchased; however, at the price they were okay.

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.

Yes these knives can be sharpened. The only one I've not tried to sharpen is the serrated knife. I purchased the sharpener along with the knife set and it does a great job. Love the set.

Yes, they are easily removed and sharpened. They are EXTREMELY sharp, and highly effective at slicing. I wear kevlar gloves as extra insurance, and am careful. This is a superb, very well-built device.

There is not a sharpener included. The blade comes sharpened but is not super sharp.

No, they are just decorative and dull, though they can be sharpened as the steel is rather thick.

The blades can't be sharpened, but some sharpeners can replace the cutter for much cheaper than the replacement cost of the whole blade. I send mine to Northern Tails Sharpening, he charges $10 to refurbish 5-in-1 blades.
