Can the Blades on an Apple Wedger Be Sharpened?

In summary, the apple wedger is a convenient tool for slicing apples into eight even wedges. It is easy to use and can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. While it is designed for apples, it can also be used on other similar-sized fruits. It does not core the apple, but the wedges can easily be cored afterwards.

Is there a way to sharpen the blades on this? One of my hosts had this when I was doing her show and she mentioned it's not quite as sharp as it used to be. I think she's had it over the warranty period. Anything I could suggest to help her? Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda
 
I don't know. I do know that mine is very sharp (my two thumbs can attest to it too - ouch!)
 
There is a 3 year warranty - maybe that will help.
 
To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to sharpen it. Sorry.
 
Ice?I wonder if somehow you could wedge ice to sharpen. That is what I have heard works for the food chooper so if it could work, perhaps it would work.
 
I would think ice would dull a blade. As a matter of fact, I believe the instructions for the Food Chopper say not to use it to chop ice. Could be wrong, though.
 
I was always told no ice for the food chopper (could bend the blades) but chopping on aluminum foil will work. Don't know how this would work for the apple wedger. I had a guest at a show recently ask me this question too. Time to call HO I guess.
