Do these come pre sharpened ?

no, and I wouldn't buy these again, I had the black warrior and thought these would be the same, but they are cheap ones, the lead is not as smooth and the wood is cheaper wood, so when you sharpen them the wood is rough and not smooth. i think its the difference between the cedar ones ( more expensive) and these cheaper ones. I think i will buy the more expensive ones next time,as these are not fun to write with.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but don't let that stop you from buying a Paper Mate product. It's a good pedigree and even if you buy pre-sharpened pencils you'll have to keep on sharpening them as needed. Just get a good sharpener. Good luck!

No, they do not come sharpened. But they are such great pencils that sharpening them for the first time use is totally worth it!

Mine did not come sharpened. (That suits me better because I don't care for the points pre-sharpened pencils come with.) It is a wonderful pencil. They sharpen on center, the lead is dark enough for students who don't press hard. It erases well. The point lasts much longer than most of the pencils elementary grades students bring to class. I haven't noticed "hard spots" in the leads that leave scratches. The paint doesn't peel off. The diameter is nice for young and old hands. All that said, I would only use it for artwork (sketching) if I was in a tight, but it is a nice writing instrument. Mine did not come sharpened.

No, they don't, but they are easily sharpened by any pencil sharpener, particularly an electric one.

These knives do not come with a sharpener. We recommend that these knives be handwashed and dried only.

Yes, they can be sharpened! I LOVE a sharp knife, and I sharpen all of my knives regularly! Kuhn rikon sharpener is great, but I recently got a new sharpener as a stocking stuffer, it's called "edge of glory", I love it too. These aren't expensive knives, but for the price, I love them. My old ones, I sharpen every other time I use them, my new ones are a joy to use! Even high dollar knives need to be sharpened every now and then! I give these as gifts!

Mine did not. I just keep them in the drawer. They are THE BEST KNIFE EVER!

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

Yes they do, but be extremely careful when putting in, cause they're pretty sharp and will cut the sheath.

Yes, they did come ready to use. I found that they did not keep their sharp edge as long as others I have purchased; however, at the price they were okay.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file.HTH,Robert

No they can't be sharpened. Even if they could be it might not be worth it to sharpen them. Might be the same amount of money to just buy new ones.

I had to get them sharpened and I'm a beginner. They didn't specify that you had to, but you do or you will slide around :(

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

No. No razor comes ready to shave straight out of the box. In fact, I ordered almost the same razor and when I sent it off to get honed I was informed that one side of the bevel was crooked so it couldn't be sharpened. $75 down the drain. If you want a decent beginner razor that comes sharpened from the company, I would refer you to google the website Straight Razor Designs. I ordered one from them and they pre hone it before shipping it to you. Hope this helps.

I don't think you can sharpen them, we ordered new ones from the manufacturer.

I assumed they were to be used as-is. Most of us would not own the equipment to sharpen, nor know how to do it. there is a coating (paint) on the blade, and my impression was that they did not appear very sharp out of the box.
