Can you sharpen these knives?

Yes, I use the AccuSharp Knife Sharpener, AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener , which works very well then I hone it with a ceramic rod, Smith's 50002 9-Inch Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod

I have sharpened mine and they seem none the worse for it. I decided they were cheap enough that I could replace it if I ruined it.

I have sharpened these knives with a sharpening stone I got in Japan. Overtime (6years or so) the pink paint started chipping off a little around the blades. But the performance of these knives are great for the price. I ended up buying three other knives from these series.

Like Bmeister i have used the Accusharp shapener, but only every couple months. I steel the knife at least once a week and that restores the sharp edge. My knife is over 2 yrs old now and in daily use. I still like it....a lot

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 would say no. The blades have to be perfect and with special sharpening equipment you would not keep them perfect.

I've never tried to sharpen them. I have sharpened other bits and blades etc. You would want to sharpen from the hole side only. I would imagine a dremel would work fine though.

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

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.

The only way to sharpen them is to sharpen the non-serrated side of the scissors. If the scissors do become dull, simply let me know and I will send you out a replacement pair free of charge.

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

With the proper technique, you can sharpen the grind on these knives using a 30 degree triangle sharpener. That's the easiest way to get the job done. However, if you don't feel like it, you can mail the knife to spyderco and they'll sharpen it for free as long as you pay the shipping. It's only $5.00, and they'll preserve the needle like tip which is one of my personal favorite features of this particular knife.

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

You could, however, you get what you pay for. If your going to spend the money on good knives I would spend the money on the sharpener.

No, you can't. We use diamond honing stones for them. Then finish it with a silicon carbide sharpener.

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!

Peter C., Hello. I have not done that YET but, I hope I can sharpen the blades a couple times. Maybe 10. Good luck. Sorry my answer is Not good. Maybe next time,I can benefit.Pamela

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.
