Title: auger blade sharpener
Post by: wannafish on February 01, 2015, 05:51:42 PM

seen these sharpeners on ebay last night i do not see them for sale anywhere else so im assuming there no longer in production but i figured for the price what the heck so i got one figured maybe some of you guys may be interested in picking one up to...i know in northeast ohio nobody sharpens blades so if this thing works it will be worth its weight in gold

For $10, its worth a shot.  I've purchased a couple in years past, but have never developed the exact technique in getting a good edge. Good Luck with it though.

Hope it works for you. My experience with sharpening auger blades has got me buying new ones when needed. The geometry of the blades is a mystery to me. You can get them sharp enough to shave with but they won't cut ice. Had a guy at work who has a surface grinder sharpen mine once. They worked pretty good but not as good as new ones.
