tell ya the truth I was a machinist for 25 years and did precision grinding working within millionths, I have tried to sharpen my mora blades , by hand and finally I had 2 set them up on a magnet and dial indicate them in and try 2 copy the the concave angle using a diamond wheel...cut good at first but fizzled fast...I needed a tool sharpening grinder which we had but the set up was much time consuming to do 1 set...I suggest mailing them back , or find someone that has a trade in plan...if I remember somewhere on this site there was such a deal 
Yea I considered putting them on a surface grinder but figured with the curve theat I wouldn't be able to match it

Im about to give up on bluegill, all I can catch are small bass and stocked trout (which doesn't really count cause the stocked ones are stupid and eat anything they swim past)

Hit Hubbard valley, hoped for some gills, but I still have yet to get one, chipped half the paint off one of my favorite jammin jigs (of course the only one that I can't find on their website anymore) drilled a bunch of holes only to find I'm on 14" of ice with 8" of water under it...and to top it off, while setting a tip up I dropped my only depth finder weight which bounced off the ice...and down the hole, It found the bottom alright...
hope my luck changes hahaha

Damn that's 2 hours away, at that point it's probably cheaper to just buy blades full price instead of use that much gas driving there

I guess y'all can go ahead an laugh, i have a Eskimo hand auger,...now that that's out of the way, I drilled some (actually probably more like alot) of dirty ice and my blades are pretty dull, I popped em off (talk about nerve wracking breaking the bolts loose) and put them to the whetstone and sharpened fallowing the bevel like I sharpen my knives, not really confident I my ability to hone the edge perfect but I'll see how it cuts tomorrow. but further down the road, do you think if I took them to a knife sharpener that they woud do it? The Eskimo blades are flat with two bevel angles and a sleight curved relief at the center cut, so it would be a lot like sharpening a knife

I do always keep the cover on the blades though, this was just a dumb accident that I could have avoided if I would have been more patient

Last week I was on ledge, had some ice packed between the blades, could have walked off the lake and found a nice stick to push the ice off, but of course I didn't, fully knowing my fingers have no business anywhere near the blades, I proceeded to try and pick the little chunk of ice, needless to say, my gloves were no match, nor was my finger beneath, not serious, like mentioned before, a deep paper cut, spanned the pad of my finger, bled like crazy, there was blood all over the ice, cut a rag from the leg of my long johns and wrapped the wound then a band of electrical tape to keep pressure,
