Sharpen Jiffy blades?

[Happy Hooker]

Is there a place around Ottawa that can sharpen blades for a Jiffy Ice auger,
I have a 9" blade and have to order from Jiffy, stores only carry 6,8, and 10.
At $39.00 a pop I am sure it would cheaper to get them sharpened.

Have you tries a skate or knife sharpening shop?

I have sharpened mine with a fine file and finished it off with speedy sharp... I was desperate. Turns out they cut better after my sharpening job then they did before and they stayed sharp longer.... it's like comparing the edge of a bic blade fresh out of the box to a barbershop razor blade....The edge was thicker and just as sharp after I sharpened it I think... If you are good with knife blades and you already have the tools, give it a go!

Thanks for the info, I will give a shot.

Stay true to the edge, if i remember right, i used the speedy sharp alot more on angled side of blade... My normark blades are flat on one side...

i use a chainsaw file set for mine.

just keep the angles the same and make sure you do the guide point as well.

i do a 10 minute job on my strikemaster at the start of each season and it stays sharp right till the end.
