Yes, or at least they do when you have your son do it. lol I tried using the sharpener I got from Hancock Fabrics and apparently my arthritic hands just don't press hard enough to sharpen the blade. Hancock's had them soooo cheap I couldn't resist. I did have to purchase the Dual Rotary Blade Sharpener at regular price, but I had a coupon to make it 40% cheaper, and the replacement sharperner disks were back in the clearance bins for only 50 cents each (I got the last 4 they had, lol) I'm very pleased with the result - I haven't bought blades in a very long while, and only had to sharpen them a couple of times. I use them pretty frequently, too. Good product, just don't give up if they don't sharpen well enough at first - try again (maybe with a different pair of hands).
