Those blades are extremly sharp even when they aren't sharp enough to cut ice. I tried sharpening mine and all I did wall fillet my finger open. I always carry a spare with me just in case. I sent one last year to Frank and he was quick on getting it back to me. My first blade barely lasted a season, this is the 5th year with the blade I have on it now. Don't give up on the Nils yet--still the best auger I have ever used.
