I tried sharpening once. But between my kids and wife I always manage to hit a rock, or brick, or toy. And that really messes up the blade. New blades are like $20-30, I don’t have to spend time sharpening them, and the old one is 100% recyclable. So I’ll spend $20 to save time.
My town has a small shop that sells mowers and general landscaping equipment, and for a few bucks they’ll also sharpen blades. I just have them do it annually cause I also grew tired of doing it, amd new blades feels wasteful. Maybe you can find a place to sharpen for you cheaply.
If you have a metal file and a vice, you can just sharpen the blade and it will last pretty much forever! Unless that’s what you meant.
