Has anyone used this for a substantial (more than a year) length of time, and if so, how sharp has it remained? Cutting performance is still good?

I don't know if it has been a year, but a pretty long time. It has remained sharp. I can't say I use it every day or every week though. I have liked this product from the beginning. It has a good weight and balance. And the edge is still sharp.

I have had one of these for over 15 years, and frankly they are just about as sharp as the first day I used them. It has been so long that I honestly can't recall how sharp they were in the beginning, but I know that I bought another highly regarded maker's clippers (German-made) within the past year, and they are not as sharp as my 15+ year-old Seki clippers - or as easy to use.

We have been using one for almost two years. It has not degraded in that time. Seki's seem very durable and well made.

I've had mine for a couple of years now. It isn't as sharp as the day I got it, but it's still better than any new clipper you'll purchase at your local drug store.

I haven't had this for a quite a year as yet, but after several months it works good as new.

Would have owned them 3 years in April but I lost them in February. Almost as sharp as new, even after many uses. I just ordered a replacement set, same make and model.

Yes it was holding up well for more than a year. Theni lost it in a move but bought a replacement.
1616151
Had I not lost mine, it was going on three years and performing as new. I'm purchasing the same one as a replacement as I was quite happy with it.

My husband and I have used this for over a year. It's still sharp and it still cuts well.

Ours has seen heavy usage for over two years, and I still don't think it needs sharpening. It still slices easily.

The blade works well I've shaved with it 3 times still working well. I do not let hair on my back get over 1/4 inch my hair is also not that course and lf done often I'm guessing it will last longer.

To me, it has been a great knife. Very sharp! A shith might be a good because of its shape and ware and tare on the pocket.

I haven't. I haven't been using it very heavily, but this is a very big knife. I don't see it being a problem unless you throw it at something or stab something harder than wood

I have not had any problems cutting with these knives. My old ones were so bad they should of been replaced long ago. It is a pleasure having a good knife

I've had mine for 11 years. It still works well but I'm wondering if I get a new one if it will seem noticeably sharper. I use mine all the time and it's held up very well.

I think they will stay sharp longer than I will need them to. I use it almost everyday and it has been a few months. No dulling at all.

I've been carrying the same Blur almost daily for the last 5 years or so, two of which were spent on active duty in the Marine Corps and included a deployment to Afghanistan. I've beaten the heck of mine without a single issue, though it does look worse-for-wear at this point. Very solid and highly recommended as a general-purpose utility knife.

I bought it couple of months ago and so far it is great and as sharp as day one.

It is extremely sharp when it is new, more so than any other tool I have ever had. I would imagine that no tool will remain sharp forever, but this one is doing very well.

It's a great, sharp blade; but will tend to rust if not kept dry and maybe oiled. I've had mine for years and it's still rockin!

Only been using it for a few months for trimming hair and shaving beard. Haven.t noticed any difference in blade sharpness.

I bought mine in June 2013 and it's the best electric knife I've ever own. I use it in the house for everything, from slicing home made heavy bread, to carving the Thanksgiving turkey. It has plenty of power. I haven't found anything it can't slice, carve or cut. The battery charge seems to go on forever. I have to charge the battery so little that I even misplaced the charger until this morning. The chargers output is 8.4 volts at 1 amp. I bought the extra long blade and seem to use the longer blade the most (Big turkeys need the longer blade). I'm very happy that I found this knife on Amazon.

I use this can opener allot, although I have not had it for 6 months. It is still quite sharp.

Mine last about two years as well. It just doesn't cut the same and hurts. Replaced the blade and had a professional barber "zero" it in. Slight helped but still kinda hurts. Always kept mine well oiled. Going to purchase another one as this device has paid for itself time after time by allowing me to cut my hair at home.
