Just visualize sharpening that. I'm thinking I would hold it with one hand and carefully turn the wheel with the other hand. I might need a third hand to hold the sharpmaker base steady. Maybe I could use a foot? I'm pretty short.
I might need to mark it with a sharpie so I could tell when I've made three strokes.

You'd definitely need to hold it and sharpen sections at a time. Maybe they could drill some holes in the blade and provide a pin that holds the blade so you don't have to touch it while sharpening.
How often would you realistically need to sharpen a pizza cutter?
I think your good to go .
This is also a good point.
But really this is one time when serrations are probably the wrong edge for the job since you'll probably be cutting on a cutting board, so you'd get more points making contact than the scallops, so you'd sort of perforate the pizza instead of slicing it.

depends on the volume. we sharpen ours every 3-4 weeks.
se would be atrocious for this in real life, lol
Vivi, what's the most difficult kitchen cutting utensil that you've had to sharpen? A mezzaluna?
Those aren't too bad. I've done them similar to a regular knife on benchstones, and have tried clamping them in a vice blade up and sharpening that way.
Most odd ball stuff isn't difficult to sharpen, you just have to think of a good approach.
For example, with pizza cutters I just tighten their screws down so they don't spin. Do 1/2 to 3/4 the blade, then loosen them up and rotate them and finish the section I didn't hit.
Just like with any other cutting tool, a sharp pizza cutter makes cleaner cuts with less effort.
I'm holding out for the inevitable S90V/Carbon Fiber Sprint run LOL
Seriously, though, I had to double-check the calendar when I saw this pop up on my IG feed this morning—it sounds like something Spyderco would actually make back in the Whale Rescue Blade days (though in BD1N instead of SPY27)

Periodically? Mine tends to roll the edges, and it disrupts my sense of balance in the universe. I don't make it as sharp as I would a knife, but I put a respectable edge on it. Part of the problem is that I'm cutting against stone, steel, or aluminum--something I'd never do with a regular knife. Nevertheless, I would welcome a pizza cutter made from something other than whatever they were melting down that day at the Chinese recycling center.
My first job was in a small town grocery store deli, and we made tons of pizza, it was actually really good for a deli. We always used the big 20 inch Sani-Safe pizza knife, but it was also used for other cutting chores so it got sharpened fairly regularly.
If I could make the money I make now working in a pizza place I probably would. It was the one food related job that was kinda fun.
Is that made in Italy for Spyderco? Is it N680? It will stand up to corrosion very nicely if so.
