I had potential customer ask me about the smooth edge can opener. She bought it 4 years ago so the warranty is up. She asked if there was any way to sharpen the blade. Does anyone know if this is possible?
 
Beth--I've never heard of it going dull. I would contact the HO about this question.
 
Funny this topic came up. At both of my last two shows (unrelated shows), I have had someone with problems with their can opener, now out of warranty. Both complaining of it not cutting all the way through.
 
You know my can opener hasn't been working as well for the past couple of weeks either. I just got it last year. So I was thinking of calling HO and seeing if I can get a new one. Customers love to see a demo of the can opener and I would be embarassed if it didn't work right.
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am happy to assist you with your question about the smooth edge can opener. Unfortunately, once the warranty is up, we do not have the option to sharpen the blade. However, I would suggest looking into our new and improved smooth edge can opener, which has a self-sharpening blade that will last for years to come. Thank you for considering Pampered Chef products and please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Happy cooking!
