Does glass dull knives?

I mainly use this for arranging dough before processing. So I use knives only for cutting the dough to smaller size. I did not find knives getting dull.

Not unlike any other plate or glass product, it depends upon what type of knife you are using and how hard the pressure is applied. I have not had that as an issue and the product remains in great shape.

It has a suction cup base, you could mount it on your counter nearby and swipe it once or twice as needed, it definitely will sharpen them. It will shave a small amount of steel off each time.

Mine are still sharp, but there in no reason they can not be sharpened. I have full plans on sharpneing them once they get dull; I love these knives. Even ordered more as a gift to family.

It doesnt sharpen, it just brings the blade bach to its "true" so the blade will be sharper than it was but if your knives need sharpening the stone is best.

I use a 3 stone kit. I usually only use the medium and fine stones. I have been disappointed with my knife, it came dull, and the edge had been burned by the grinder. I sent it back thinking they would replace the blade, it came back still dull and grinder burned out near the the this time. My nephew bought one like mine and his has been awesome, maybe I just got a lemon.

Hi Tiffany, I don't know what the blades are, but whatever they are, they have not dulled and have not shown surface tarnish or rust. This thing is a monster, and just keeps doing the job. I also like the glass carafe of the blender - something hard to find. The only problem I have found is that the plastic receptacle for the juicer stains from carrots, citrus, etc. - but it isn't a problem for me because the unit itself and the carafe don't stain, and I keep the plastic pieces in the cabinet. Just buy it!

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.

Not advisable. Will dull knives and damage stone. You shouldn't cut on ANY stone.

use the #2 stone. If knife is really dull it may take several passes maybe 6.

They begin to dull out after about 100 sharpenings of professional grade kitchen knives. Still very nice 'stones'.

I do put them in the dishwasher, and the silver handle does tarnish as others have said. They will also go dull faster as they do get hit with other silverware even if you have the silverware holder that separates each item. I recommend handwashing, even though I don't bother. They do sharpen up again just fine.

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.

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 have purchased 3 sets of Chicago Cutlery, but I won't be much help with this question. I bought a set for myself several years ago, and it did not have a sharpener. I bought a set for my son last Christmas, and a set for my daughter in June. Neither of them have used the sharpener yet, which I suppose is a sign that the knives have stayed sharp enough without using the sharpener at all this far.

I'll spend a good half hour stone sharpening it, and use a sharpening steel daily on it. After a stone sharpening, it goes dull in less than a week. Not sure if its factors I control (storage, improper use of stone, etc.) Or if the knife just goes dull that fast anyways. Yes, I use it in a professional kitchen. Its why I bought this knife, so I could have a decent one at work.

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