are these blades pre-sharpened?

Sharp enough for lawn mower use (high speed rotation) ... but they are not sharp like a knife.
72605
yes they are presharpen. I put mine on after unpackaging them and they cut beautifully.

I don't think they are. I just got them and I was expecting sharp blades and found there are brand new but not sharp at all. These do not serve my need at all. Either I send them back or find someone to sharpen them, I clearly cannot use these blades as they are!

No. They have the correct "edge" on them, but they are painted and you will need to sharpen them yourself.

No.. they are cheap knives not meant to be sharpened. Chefs talk about using these types of knives and throwing them away and buying new ones because of their price. I think sharpening them would take off the finish.. but if you wanted to try .. use one of the 16 degree ones that you slide the knife through.

I personally have never had them sharpened. You may want to send email to company to ask.

Yes they are. And when you order another container for grain grinding or whatever, it contains a blade.

yes over time they need sharpening, I bought a ceramic blade sharpener on here very reasonable on price! Must be for CERAMIC blades! Good luck.

I'm not sure since I haven't had that issue so far. Have you tried to take them to a local hardware store to see if they can be sharpened? Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

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.

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

No, they do not come already sharpened, but for the price and custom printing, it's a great deal compared to others I looked into.

Yes. The blades have two edges and can be flipped around when the first set of edges starts to dull.

The blades do not come sharpened. I went to sports authority and had them sharpened for five dollars..

Mine came pre-sharpened, I remember shaving a small bit of hair off my forearm. This was my 3rd Gerber Knife and all three have come sharp and been impressive. My three models were all US made.

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

The blades are self sharpening with normal use. If they have gone dull it may be due to cutting paper stock that is too thick. You would need to contact the manufacturer.

Although they are pretty good upon arrival I think that it's best to have them sharpened before the first time that they are used.

Yes they can be sharpened in fact I run a few swipes on my fine steel between uses to keep a keen edge and haven't needed to really sharpen them yet.
