Could you theoretically sharpen it or would it ruin the stainless steel.

It's pretty sharp already! But, as long as you're not sharpening it on an electric grinding wheel and overheating it I don't see how you could hurt anything sharpening it. It seems like a very high quality blade.

I have this and was very surprised how sharp and nicely made the blade is. Most of their prop swords are not sharp I believe. Not sure why they sharpened this one. Not sure about the tang, but the whole thing feels solid and dangerous. Its a little longer than a dagger.

Yes, using a high quality drill that is rated for stainless steel. No damage to the surface.

Since it is stainless steel, I would think there would be no reaction and should be fine! That's sounds like a good idea..never heard of that.

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

No, not unless you have a special sharpener that is made for that type of bade.

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.

Are you kidding? Like nothing. It wil dull the blade though if it's still happens to be frozen solid.

Please do not use this on one of the best knives in the world. Do as Clark said and send it back to Shun to have them sharpen it for you.

I don't know. I'm under the impression that serrated knives in general cannot be sharpened.

It is metal so you could try to sharpen it, but why? You might damage the finish and It's supposed to be a toy.

I would not use it on stainless steel, it would scratch it! If you read the directions it tells you.

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????

I wouldn't waste my time on trying to sharpen it. Buy a new one. You won't believe the difference in using a new one compared to the old one.

Good question. I was curious, so I tried. The answer is no. The edge is NOT sharp - which is why it won't damage pots and pans.

I believe it would ruin the service of the pan. I would not use a knife on it.

I believe you can set the edge in as far as you need to. I have not run into this situation yet. But the knife would have to be very very thick to really affect the 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.
