Took two sets of blades from manual augers to Bill from R and R at his shop in Wabamun on Saturday. You are correct in that his Dad ran the business but passed away 3 years ago. They tried to keep it going but had to shut the shop due to covid. Anyway the set he sharpened for my auger was fine as we immediately tested on the lake. However the second set on an older 8 inch is worse than they were before the sharpening and can hardly get a bite. We were careful when removing to ensure they go back on properly and we even tried a couple of old shims but still can't get it to bite. Do you think a poor sharpening job would result in that behavior? I would hope if you are sharpening restaurant chefs knives auger blades would not be that much of a challenge. My buddy might just buy some new blades to see if indeed that solves the issue. Let us know how it goes at All Blades please.
