They can be sharpened by honing on the flat side. You should attempt to balance the honing, but if your molding head is anything like mine it faaaaaar outweighs the cutters and will easily dampen any reasonable deviation in weight of the cutters, so you don't have to be anal about it. In comparison, router bits have almost no weight other than the cutters and fairly small deviations can become noticable.
