Sorry I cannot answer that question. I have only had the weed razor one year and haven't had the need to sharpen it yet. The weed razor does come with a sharpener so I guess one would run it along the blades. Good luck.

I haven't had to sharpen mine yet, but there are full instructions with the equipment.

It comes with a sharpener you just run it across the cutting edge in one direction not back and forth. If you do not have a sharpener that comes with it I think you can use a knife sharpener but I am not sure.

I've never done it, but to be totally honest with you, I'd have it done by a professional. The blade is far too sharp to make a mistake and you could seriously injure yourself.

Mary, We received a sharpener with our Weed Razor and we use protective gloves while we use the sharpener.

It comes with a sharpener that you lightly run down the edge. I prefer to lock the razor down when doing this. It stays sharp for a long time, you shouldn't need to sharpen it for awhile. Try not to run it over gravel or rocks.

om gosh, it is so super sharp, I have never had to sharpen it...it is razor sharp no pun intended. just make sure you wipe off blades carefully before you put it away and it will stay quite sharp.

Mine as well did not come with instructions-but believe it sharpens everything very, very well. Do not regret buying this item. Sorry

I use a grinding wheel and then sharpening stones. I also would wipe it with mineral oil if you can keep up with the habit. You shouldn't have to sharpen it out of the box. Unless you hit the blade with a rock, You won't be sharpening it for a while. It's a Ka-Bar, not a pocket knife, get it dirty.

My husband had his for years & never had to sharpen it. Guess you could use a sharpening stone if you need to sharpen it though.

Get a sharpening stone and sharpen with one to two passes of the stone as needed using gloves for hand protection. I sharpen after every use.

Once you get it sharpened you might try using a honing steel after each use. A couple of swipes and the knife stays very sharp.It will postpone having to have the knife resharpened.

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.

The two buttons press together and pull out the silver section which holds the pencil. After that you hold the top of the sharpener down with your left hand and turn the crank to sharpen the pencil. Not difficult at all.

They can be sharpened with a flat sharping stone using a little pressure, taking your time (Few mins.) you will be able to feel the difference from when you started. Keep the blade flat on stone using slight circular motion.

Mine is kind of dull, cannot readily slice through a 1/4" Zip Tie without putting some effort to it, I used electric sharpener to sharpen it.

Contact a local print shop and find out who sharpens their blades for their machines. They should be able to direct you to a reputable company/person who can do it for you.

I do not believe it can be sharpened. However, the cutting blade can be replaced, because I've had that done.

You can sharpen them, I'm guessing until the end. I've only had to sharpen mine one or two times.

you need to pinch together the two black things and pull out the silver plate on the front. Once fully extended, insert your pencil all the way into the sharpener through the hole. Begin sharpening by rotating the lever and you will feel lever becomes light when pencil is sharpened. To take out the pencil, you need to pinch open the black things

This is a very good sharpening stone. You will need to focus on the angle of the edge and the course stone is just the start. Once you have worked the course you can step down to the medium stone and that will clean up your edge. It should start to feel a little sharper. Then you step down to the fine stone to hone your edge. A dull knife can take hours to sharpen it depends on if the edge was turned. When you sharpen you lay the knife on the stone at about a 15 degree angle and first push the knife away from you on one side and then you draw the knife towards you on the other side. Only work one direction on each side. Make sure you draw the whole edge down the stone. Take your time and use even pressure on the blade

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for it. It's fairly inexpensive and the easiest sharpening method. As far as not needing to sharpen it because it has a "SpyderEdge," that's total nonsense. It's a blade. Blades dull with use. Blades need to be sharpened.
