I was wondering about that! They look to be easier to sharpen than an Xacto or Excel blade as they're not angled as sharply. I might give them a go on my dremel or even stropping them on an old belt. Good call Lehcyfer

Ron0909 - I use a sheet of high grade sandpaper - intermittently one and the other side, then check if I can see the edge when orientated vertically - if I see a bright line or spots of brightness it's not sharp yet - when I can't see the line of the blade it is sharp.

I use Dremel only in case when the blade point has broken off. Then I grind the blade from the blunt side until it is sharp again. Sometimes I grind a fresh blade - to get a very sharp point.

I've shown it here - in Polish, but the pictures explain it all
