yes.  you can resharpen or replace them, Beverly offers the service,
so do the other distributors, like Centaur Forge, and the was a place
noted on this group a few weeks ago. 
I have found that if I adjust the old blades on the two used ones I have,
to the point they cut a sheet of paper, without binding, it seems to make
them work great. The cost of new blades are expensive.

Several years ago I sent a pair of blades that looked like steak knives
in to have them sharpened, (direct to Beverly) They came back absolutely
matched, ground perfectly, and looked like new.  As I recall, I was a 
little shocked at the cost, but they work perfectly today, 7 years later.
A little care when setting up to cut different thicknesses, and they
may very well outlast me.  If you are considering getting them sharpened,
the service will be a fraction of the cost of new, and serve just as 
well.     Bob
