Check with the local bait shops. My local bait shop (West side of town) has a blade exchange. $12 plus my dull blades got me a sharp set of 8" Mora. $16 for Lazers. Might also check out the local 'chain' hardware store that sells minnows too.

TWO YEARS AGO "ROSEMOUNT SAW & TOOL" WOULD SHARPEN THEN FOR JUST $5. NOT SURE WHAT THE GOING RATE IS NOW. MIGHT BE WORTH A CALL THOUGH..

Be careful buying [YouNeedAuthorization] blades, you often get sub-par metal that will not stay sharp.

If it's a SM I'd recommend just buying a new set of blades. The edge they throw on those is hard to hone/replicate. A set of blades isn't more than 30 bucks.

yeah i believe the lazer blades are chemically sharpened. The shops can probably get them close but not like new. Kind of like filing on the chemically sharpened fish hooks. good luck

I bought some brand new ripper blades on [YouNeedAuthorization] for 22$. I love them! I would just spend a little extra and buy some new ones if they are wore down.

well I have 2 augers. both 6" hand augers. 1 lazer, and one old mora that i found for three dollars. Both augers actually cut well enough right now, so should I skip out on it until they get too dull? Ide be willing to risk $5 to see if a shop can get them sharper again, but I can wait until they dull down some more I suppose. That brings me to another question. My friend has some really dull blades on a mora. If he takes them to get sharpened, they will cut for him again wont they? We are teens on a low budget, so understand why I stick to this idea. smile

You could try hardwear stores that sharpen skates.
