Well, I can certainly use a correct size honing rod to work on each notch but even if I spent several hours on it, the knife is never as sharp as new, which is what I consider sharpenable to mean....can you restore it to how sharp it was when you bought it?
Could totally be doing something wrong, but I stand by my comment. Once a bread knife loses its initial sharpness its near impossible to get it back.

Our Zwilling was amazing but became blunt after about 5 years of use. Pretty happy with that longevity for the prie we paid but I'm not a fan of having knives that aren't sharpenable in general.
