Universal blades for hand auger

[Wilb3]

Does anyone know if any stores around Omaha or online carry a univeral 8" blade set for a hand auger? I've got the red Arctic Ice hand auger from BassPro. Was there about 3 weeks ago and they had plenty of augers but had already put away the auger blades for season. So then I went to their website and they had 6" replacement blades but were sold out of the 8" ones. I'm like SOL.

I have been looking for someone ti sharpen mine since I have so many old dull sets. And good friend made a good point. He said find a barber and see where they get their shears sharpened. If I can get them sharpened for $15 its a lot better than paying $40 for replacements.

That's a good point cadreau87! I have an electric appliance shop that I go to to have my clipper blades sharpened. Not a barber- just have cut my own hair since in HS.  I may give that a go. I attempted to sharpen my own with bench grinder- but not good idea. I affected the angle. Thanks!

Found an exact match with the 8" Eskimo and Mora blades.  Thanks all!
