Can the blade be removed for sharpening?

I do not think it can be removed, but it is EXTREMELY sharp. It would be a long time before it needs sharpening. If you buy one do be very careful, and buy a box of bandaids.

My son said no, that you would not want to sharpen it because of the holes in the blade. He said that would likely weaken or break it.

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.

Yes you can replace the blade. It comes with a sharpening stone though so replacement is not really necessary unless something terminal happens.

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 could probably sharpen it yourself, but I would take it to a professional to make sure the blade stays straight. There is probably one close to where you live or work.

You can sharpen anything. But if you don't know how to do it you had better leave it to a profssional. Look for someone that sharpens saw blades in your area. I would take the entire cutter to him and let him remove the blade.

No, the blades are not adjustable however they can be removed for sharpening.

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

No. Not without industrial quality sharpening tools that would damage the overall quality of the piece.

I would say no. The blades have to be perfect and with special sharpening equipment you would not keep them perfect.

Yes and no. You can use the manual honing slot for honing the tips on the serration without risk of ruining the knife. You could also sharpen a serrated knife in the grinding slots, but that will eat a little of the serration each time, and after x number of sharpenings, the serration will have disappeared.

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!

Yes, the blade is replaceable. I'm not sure the blade can be sharpened. If the blade is oiled regularly it shouldn't need sharpening.

With a lot of effort, yes, it could be sharpened...however, it is not needed. The point is plenty sharp enough to pierce from a thrust, and the blade is heavy enough to cut from a good swing without being sharpened.

With the way the blade is configured, I don't think the blades could be sharpened without it being a very long and tedious procedure. After cutting back some jasmine that secretes a sticky liquid at the cut, I wiped off the blade with water and a towel and then sprayed the blades with WD40 and found that this improved the proformance of the blades.

No, it can be sharpened along the last top third of the blade-but doesn't arrive that way from the factory.
