Do these knives ever need sharpening?

Yes they do need sharpening but they are easy to re-sharpen. It's a good blade that doesn't rust easily.

Yes these will need to be sharpened at some point in their life as all do at some point. These however have maintained a very good edge over the past 18 months we have had them.

Have been using them regularly for close to two years and they are still good. Though, have recently been thinking about running them over the stone just to pick them up a bit.

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.

I use my knives daily. I sharpen every 3 to 4 weeks. The ceramic blades stay sharp for quite a while. Except for the serrated knife, which cannot be sharpened with the sharpener.

YES they do, they have an excellent quality blade, I have had one in my pocket for over 20 years, Great little knife! I sharpen mine with a homemade flat with 320 sand paper on it to touch it up once in awhile. If you have problems sharpening it, have a pro hit it on the belts they use one time and bring it back. that is how the factory sharpens them...Erik

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

I'm not really sure. I've had mine for about 8 months and they're still sharp. But i am going out on a limb and saying yes. But not a auto sharpener. I'd use a stone

The blade is approximately 10 - 15 degrees from the handle's axis. These knives should be able to be sharpened with any standard sharpener, although due to the quality of the steel it is exceedingly unlikely that they would require sharpening before 10 or so years of regular use.

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 do not believe they need to be sharpen but to be on the safe side, I would have them sharpen professionally

They sharpen the same as non coated knives since they are high carbon steel.. I just hone them on my fine steel weekly and have not needed to sharpen them yet in over a year..

Doesn't need to be sharpened. I have had mine for over 10 years and it still works fine. Bought this one for a friend who used mine and couldn't believe how easy it was to use.

No, mine are still sharp and in good condition. I am happy with my purchase.

Yes these knives can be sharpened. The only one I've not tried to sharpen is the serrated knife. I purchased the sharpener along with the knife set and it does a great job. Love the set.

never had need to sharpen them; but, if necessary, they should sharpen nicely. No, the warranty, as far as I know, does not cover replacement if they get dull. They probably have recommendations for keeping sharp, or best tool to use. Kershaw makes good knives and scissors. We've used for years and never had a complaint.

They have a decent sharpened edge to them. No serrations, don't expect them to do well with a tough steak, but don't give them to a small child either. They could easily cut skin. I'd imagine if you needed to, you could dull them or sharpen them more.

They have a tapered grind edge, with a slight angle at the tip of the knife, I have these and have had no problems sharpening them, I love all my Chicago Cutlery. You cant go wrong for the money.

My experience with the new knives is that they are sharpened in a production environment that doesn't allow the fine honing that's required for a truly sharp knife. I would put a finish hone on the knife right out of the box.
