Danny,I assume that you have a stone to sharpen it during use. If that doesn't do the trick here is my plan. I'll be facing this problem myself on my next siding/flooring job. I plan on buying a replacement blade for 44.95 and then take the used blade to a sharpening facility. If they can't sharpen the blade once they see it, they might suggest someone else or try sharpening it myself. Again maybe 44.95 is the easiest and might be the cheapest answer. If you plan on doing the sharpening yourself I for sure recommend a replacement blade just in case (for backup). Sorry I can't be more definitive but I hope this helps.Regards,John Livingston Danny,I assume that you have a stone to sharpen it during use. If that doesn't do the trick here is my plan.

It is a Full Tang blade as far as I can tell though I don't know if I myself can undo it

Yes it is, but it is stiff when you get it. Just work it out as often as you can. It's a nice knife.

I have used it frequently for about a year and a half, and it has not needed to be sharpened, unlike my expensive knives. My local Sur la Table store sharpens while you wait for $5 per blade.

I'm not sure if it's full tang, but my brother sharpened it a bit more after he opened it and he then proceeded to whack at everything in sight, but its still pretty sharp, barely dulled, if dulled at all.

I have had the knife for a few months, and still haven't sharpened it - hard metal. It is the best of the brand I have bought.JR

Absolutely! I've had mine for months and it's still sharp (and I throw it at targets and use it for all my knife needs)! The blade is without a doubt full tang as you can see when looking at it turned flat. And despite my best efforts I have yet to bend or damage the blade.

It is dull. Some swords I have ordered can be sharpened for an additional fee, I do not remember if this was one of them.

Peter C., Hello. I have not done that YET but, I hope I can sharpen the blades a couple times. Maybe 10. Good luck. Sorry my answer is Not good. Maybe next time,I can benefit.Pamela

Yes, you are correct. There are tiny serrations on the edge of the blade and it was necessary to further sharpen the blades using a simple trick of cutting aluminum foil, overall I am quite satisfied with the blades especially at the price I purchased.

I think its good. Its sharp, but i havent really done any cutting with it cuz it looks so nice.

It appears genuine to my untrained eye. Benchmade packaging, warranty documents, etc. I can tell you - this blade is sharp. I handled it without 100% attention for a moment and my right thumb is less some skin.

yes its pretty sharp out of the box and item looks like the picture (lol) its well worth the price in my opinion ..in fact i have been wearing it to work at my warehouse job for months now and it seems to be holding up well just a quick sharpen or two in that time and a blade adjustment ...can't go wrong hope this answer helps!

I've just purchased mine this year so I haven't had to sharpen the blades. but there is a specialized tool for it that is pulled along the blade. That all I know about it.

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