It’s all in the pitch. They can be razor sharp, but the wrong pitch will make the m act like a butter knife in concrete. I always used a honing stone to touch up and never run them dull

Never ever bounce them on the ice, sure way to screw up the pitch.

I have used this service numerous times they do a great job. With fast turn around.

I went to my local hardware store and spent $15, $40 seams a little expensive.

I’ve had temporary success touching blades up with one of those hand-held blade sharpeners. I consider this touch up only while out on the ice and doesn’t replace getting new or professionally sharpened blades. This has helped my day out from time to time; just be careful or you end up looking like this:

Too sharp sharping service
IF I remember correctly they are in st cloud but by the time you pay for shipping it was about 20$ depending on you location might be able to drop them off.
I’ve seen some bait shops around do an exchange system you give them your old and and they give you a sharp set for a price its been a while since I’ve done that I think it costed 15$

Tried one of those once. Maybe I did it wrong but when I got done it would not cut at all.

That’s because they take shavings from both sides of the blade, if the bottom isn’t perfectly flat you might as well try kicking thru the ice.

Was filling up with gas after work at a t&m gas station in Nevis MN and the have blades for exchange 14.99$ 8″and 6″

I was thinking about a mora to lazer conversion. Does anyone make one in an 8″?
