[cool][#0000ff]Theoretically, you should never need to sharpen the serrated blades. But, wipers and other heavy boned fishes will dull the points of the serrations over time...sometimes sooner than later.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In the attached picture, third from the left is a little rounded diamond sharpener that I use for a lot of fine touch up stuff. The rounded edge is just the right size to run up and down a couple of times in the grooves of the serrated blade. All it takes is a little touch up once in awhile and the blades keep on keepin' on.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]PS...don't ever try to sharpen the blades with a regular knife sharpener. You can make a couple of light sweeps on the flat side of the blade...just to remove any burrs or flat spots...but do not grind on them.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have been using the same (2) sets of blades for 5 years. I would hate to estimate the hours or fish they have seen.[/#0000ff]
