Both knives stopped working before the blades needed replacement. I still have the blades if there's some way to ship them to you. I'm not sure I can send my email address through this venue.

If the motor sounds normal, get new blades. If the motor is losing oomph, get a new knife. Periodically vacuum the air vent on the lower side of the knife and avoid hitting bone. Use a filleting knife for working near the bone. Sharpening serrated blades is not easy at home.

Sharpening serrated blades is not usually possible at home. If your knife is still working, get new blades. If it is VERY old get a complete new set. Also, avoid using the blades on bone. That will dull them. Use a boning knife to slice meat fom the bone

I have not used this knife long enough to know how long the blades will stay sharp but as much as I paid for the knife I would try to sharpen the blades.

Serrated knives are razor sharp. Good for life of unit as long as you don't use them to saw pop cans in half

The blades are very difficult to sharpen, I suggest new blades. I have had 3 of these knives and the trigger has broken before the blades need to be replaced.

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

the best way is to go to a reliable knife sharpener person. If none are available in your area, there is a hand held sharpener you can use. It has two little crock stick areas that you use depending on the knife. Check out the Lansky PS Med 01 blade medic or the Zwilling J A Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. Stay away from electric ones as they are hard on the blades.

It does not appear that the cutting blade can be replaced. You may be able to sharpen the blades but replacement does not seem possible. You may want to contact fiskars at 1 (866) 348-5661.

It was bought for a gift. He loves it but we need to buy replacement blades

I believe there is a site on-line to buy a replacement blade... however.... it should take a few years to go through the first blade according to my usage anyway.

contact the manufacture about replacement blades. Have not had this problem yet.

I don't know about getting replacement blades. Mine came with 2 sets and I've used the first set several times without problems and haven't touched the second set so I haven't needed replacements.

These blades are solid and I think it'll take months if not years for any dulling effect. By then, I'd buy I new one. Good luck, Tony.

I would take it to a professional blade sharpener and also purchase a replacement blade.

I feel the same way I am going to just buy a knife sharper here on amazon. It is suggested to keep a knife sharp run it a few times on a knife sharpener after every use.

The blades are removable but should simply be replaced and not sharpened.. I cannot imagine, with reasonable care, that you would need to sharpen the blades.....

Yes, I bought a sharpening kit but if I needed a new one I would try and rebuy this model

Use the French Chef Knife and make sure to sharpen every 5-6 times of use. I can feel when I'm having to push through foods and it means it's dulling. I have a Fiskars ceramic knife sharpener which works perfectly with these knives.

I'm using it till the blades get dull and then get a new one. I don't think it's worth trying to sharpen again but the company may be able to offer a replacement blade. I'm sure that's the most costly part of the device.

I bought a Wusthof electric knife... and my brother in law bought a chef's choice. Both are the same sharpner but diferent brand.

It won't hurt, but a sharpener won't improve an inferior product. Invest in good knives.
