My understanding is that they rarely (not never) need sharpening but you
have to send them back to the mfg. I have heard from various sources that
they are never as sharp as a well-sharpened, high quality steel knife, but
sharp enough to suit many people. As for unbreakable, I do not know although
it sounds unlikely.
