How did Wolverine keep his Adamantium claws sharp? His body couldn't just produce more Adamantium, so I assume he sharpened his claws. Did he use stones? The Lansky system? WorkSharp? (If the last one, he definitely used the blade grinder attachment.)

"Charles, get the !@#$ out of my head; I'm trying to raise a burr here."
 
Incredibly high wear resistance, it never needed sharpening.

Downside is they didn't perfect the heat treat so they have been broken before instead of just rounding the edge or bending.

I was also told at some point his adamatinum skeloton was heated up to such a high temperature the adamantium lost it's ability to be magnitized which weakened the metal. Still quite capable but not as capable.

He probably snickers at the never need sharpening kitchen knives as he knows he has one of the few sets of blades that don't actually need sharping.

I'm skeptical. There's no material we know of that *never* needs sharpening.

The question about the heat treatment is interesting. They inject liquid adamantium into him, so presumably there never was a heat treat. Even if there was, though, in that tank (which would have required cooking him, too), his temperature was being continuously monitored, if memory serves, and it never got that high. (I should probably re-watch that part to see if they were, indeed, recording his temperature; I know that they were recording his blood pressure, which something like 280/180.) But let's say that they somehow still snuck in a heat treat; his claws got red hot when he was deflecting the laser beam from the eyes of Weapon X from across the concrete circle, and that presumably would have destroyed the heat treat.

I don't know who this Wolverine character is, must be one of the demigods . . . I can't keep track of all those guys. Tosspots. Always coming around making a lot of fuss and then going off to dream their lives away somewhere.

Anyway . . . what I wanted to say is my Adamantium claws are self sharpening. They regularly shed grain with use. They are linked to an infinite source of adamantium through micro worm holes. They are work hardening and from the heat of battle and one thing and another are also air hardening and you know how that stuff is if you have ever tried to anneal air hardening high speed (low drag ;)) tool steel. :thumbsup:

Naw. When I do that it takes microscopic chunks out of the claws but . . . see anneal proof comment above.

There is Akum's Razor I use that a lot.

He normally just uses the back side of his left set as a homing steel for his right set and vice-versa. He doesn’t do it often though because the sparks have been known to set fire to his pants!

Hahahahahahahaha . . . hehehehehehe
 
I’ve often wondered how his claws were so sharp. Even his bone claws were sharp enough to cut into a radiator heater with ease as displayed on X-Men Days of future past. Since the bone claws were super sharp, the adamantium claws were just as sharp since it is basically liquified and poured over his bones. Colonel William Stryker claims Wolverines claws are indestructible in X-Men 2, so if that is the case, they should maintain their edge indefinitely.
I know this is fiction, sometimes it can be fun to talk about though.
 
Maybe the dreaded pull through sharpener.
Every time he retracts them, his knuckle bones act like a pull through.
 
He has little tungsten carbide pull through sharpeners on his gloves. Consequentially his claws are rather dull by knife nut standards.

See the things at the base of his claws?
