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,

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.
