Ice auger blade sharpeners

[Icehoggin]

Do the blue handled ice blade sharpener really work or a waste of 8 bucks?  Thanks

I've never had luck with mine.I think fish 307 accepts blades for sharpening thru mail.They are in lake George NY

just buy new blades.  they are cheap, and work much better than resharpened ones

new blades aren't that expensive, and you can send old ones out for sharpen.  i always have by hand but have to be careful. at least have a second set on hand

[njsquatch]

agree on buying new blades...just make sure they aren't made in china...

[jimmythegreek]

you can sharpen them w a stone by hand, not too hard to do.  any knife sharpening place will do them to, try mastergrind in rockaway

I used fish307 several times and never had bad set sent back always very sharp.

I agree with the Greek, a stone is very easy to use. I fish Spruce Run a lot and the sandy soil blowing onto and freezing in the ice dulls the crap out of them.

I don't think $40 is that cheap especially when I have 3 different augers.I was never able to sharpen them even with a stone.Its no fun finding out the blades don't cut when you're on the ice.I usually get 3 seasons out of a set and I ice fish alot.Then I just change out for the sharpened ones that I think were like $12 a set.
