Are the handles offset, or is your auger set up like a brace and bit drill. If you drill with both hands moving, a brace and bit, or in-line, auger will struggle to cut a hole. If you drill with one arm with off-set augers, you'll get nowhere fast, even with brand new blades. Make sure you are using your auger the way it was designed. Have someone watch you drill. If the shaft of the auger is wobbling, you're doing it wrong. If the shaft is leaning to one side instead of straight and true, you're doing it wrong.
I've got a twenty year old Mora, with blades that are at least 12 years old. Still cuts like a champ. I've got a Laser that has blades that are probably 6 years old that are cutting like new. Take care of them. Don't bang them on the ice. Spray them with Pam or WD40 after each season.
