Could I sharpen the blade at home

Since it's actual steel, yes you could but you better know what you're doing, seeing as it's not prepared steel it will get notches more, and is more likely to be damaged if you swing it at others. Also most cons wont allow actual blades so you'd have to keep it in the sheath at all times if you did.

I'm sure it could be sharpened that way. However, this knife has a very precise edge on it and you would want it sharpened by a professional that has the ability to match that specific edge. Me; I would take it to a pro. And I kept my knives sharp for years when I worked in professional kitchens.

Yes, of course it can be sharpened. Get to it! You'll be done in less than an hour! Cheers!

No but I think in the details you can request it to be sharp, I of course thought I'd just sharpen it myself :P

Yes, you can, if you handle it correctly, especially large knives and kitchen tools. For REAL precision, please check out Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction SharpenerIt is pocket size and is absolutely awesome. I collect these things, and that one blew me away.The problem here is the sharpening ANGLE, and if you are not precise it will just go it's way. Another important point is HOW you finish your job, INTO or AWAY from the blade. Lots of info on YouTube. Be SHARP !

I am not really sure, but thinking a little on the subject, I wonder if the serated blade might get hung up in the sharpening part? If that happened then you could not use it all? Just a thought????

You cannot sharpen the blades - this is why this is a $40 tool and not a $240 tool.However I've had mine for something like 4 or 5 years now, I use it regularly, and it is still super scary sharp. So ... you probably won't ever need to sharpen it in normal household use.

I don't think you can sharpen the blade. I think it would need replacement if you were to dull the blade. I've cleaned over four hundred fish on my original blade and still goinig. I will never use anything else!!!

Probably not. For that you would need to take it to a knife shop or spend a lot of time with a whet stone.

Theoretically, you could sharpen just about any blade. The better question is, would it be practical? The answer to that question is a resounding, no. It's not high grade steel at all, and if you go swinging the thing around too much, the handle will break right off. It's a costume prop, no more, no less

Yes. If If you find the blade to be dull, you can do extra sharpening by moving the handle up and down quickly multiple times without any paper.

I absolutely would not recommend it for that purpose. There are far easier ways to sharpen a metal knife; and scissors would be to thick for the sharpener.

I don't think you can sharpen these knives manually or else it will void the warranty.

The only way I know of to sharpen a set of blades like this is by using a rat tail diamond hone. It is skill dependent and time consuming. Highly recommend purchasing a spare set of blades and scrap the idea of sharpening.

I have no idea where one could purchase a blade sharpener. I think it would be more cost effective to purchase a new blade, they are not that expensive.

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!

I have never tried it but I suppose you could if the blade fit in the sharpeners
