auger blade sharpening
« on: Dec 13, 2014, 03:30 AM »
I used to go to Polk City Bait to get my blades sharpened, but it seems everytime I go there, the guy thta does the shorpening isn't there.  does anyone know of anyone that does sharpen blades and does a good job, somewhere in the Webster or Polk county area would be the handiest!!!  Thanks!!! :)

Larry is there after 4pm tuesday through sunday. Honestly he does about the best job ive found. If waiting for them is the issue I will mail them back to you if youd like.

I was on a bus and just happened to be sitting on a news paper. This guy came up and asked. "Are you reading that ?"
I said  yes, stood up, turned the page and sat back down.

might take you up on that! :)  I've always had good luck with the ones he has sharpened for me, amd maybe I'm just not timing it right!   Can I leave them at the shop, with my name on them, then pick them up the next morning?

brought my lazer auger blades into the store (omaha knife store, omaha, NE) yesterday. Awesome! Took about 30 minutes as Curtiss (owner) worked on them, and knows what he is doing regarding putting the correct edge on the finicky auger blades! true edge restored and these babies--once I have enough ice in SW Iowa--will be like new. Can't recommend him enough. Only $4.00 per blade...what a bargain to have like new blades again. If you can't wait around, he can have them done in a 24 hr turnaround too.

here is website and phone number to contact store if you are anywhere in SW Iowa/Eastern Nebraska
