Do they dull the blades of your knives?

No my knives stay just as sharp. They make moving chopped food around much easier.

Yes. It uses a different angle than smooth edge blades so make sure when you use a steel to use the correct angle (I think it's 20 degrees but I may be mistaken). I used a standard knife sharpener on it and it dulled the knife. If you use a sharpener makes sure it's designed to work with these kinds of blades. And when you get all this right be careful.. these knives are S H A R P.

I sharpen them like a i would a normal knife. That said, they do not dull quickly - in my opinion.

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

It's a fact of life that knives dull with use. I use these knives plenty and I ordered a sharpener with mine and use it very often. These are super knives and you will want to keep them always as sharp as when they were new.

I don't know, mine has never lasted long enough to dull the blades. I've gone through two of them thus far. Probably on the waring site.

Once you buy these twin blades they will be dull, but nothing of a good knife sharpener will fix that problem and to whether or not they will stick against wood is if you have a good throwing hand. If you are going to buy these remarkable fantasy blades, then a little advice from me is wear a belt that won't tear up the leather sheath that these blades come in. I hope that this answers your question Ken.

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

No. They have the correct "edge" on them, but they are painted and you will need to sharpen them yourself.

I think they probably would be, but would refer you to the manual. I like to wash everthing by hand w/ dish soap & clorox just to make sure that everything is thoroughly cleaned. Additionally, if you put the blade in the dishwasher, generally it dulls the edge over time. Hope that helps.

Not in my experience. I do not keep my kitchen knives razor-sharp but they are sharpened enough to easily cut through chicken, etc. Have never had an issue.

You can sharpen them, but it will grind away a bit of the serrations each time, depending on which set of wheels your using that can cause your serrated blade to end up not so serrated after a while.

No. The knives go in parallel to the rods so the rods surround the blades. Most of our knives are very sharp and I have not seen any damage to the rods. We have two and love them both.

Yes, tiny bits of metal scraped off the edge of the blade when you sharpen it, but that happens to some extent with all sharpeners. I just rinse the blade in water and wipe it on a kitchen towel before using it.

The "dull" feel may be a bit misleading. No, it's not like a razorblade(thank God), but I think they are sharp enough. Try to slant the blade, e.g. cut tomatoes et al at a slight angle. Or prick the tomato with the tip of the knife and then slice.

Yes, they can be sharpened to your likening. But make sure you know what you are doing, you could ruin the blade.

I do not know because I purchased this item for my mother in law. I will say that she contacted me after using the clipping blades for just a few months and they became dull. She called the company to find out how to sharpen them and they told her she would have to buy a new set of blades. She was expecting a new and free replacement. I got this for her for Christmas 2013. If this is true then I do not think I would purchase them at all.
