Does anyone know if this can be done ? I have worn out 3 in less then 2 weeks :shock: LOL Yea I know that's a whole lotta ripping going on :roll:

Maybe we should have a contest to see who can wear out one the quickest :wink: Just kidding - but I hate to throw these away seems so wasteful .....

Here is what I was taking apart

Haven't done it but I would try a needle file if I were going to attempt to sharpen one. If you don't already have one it'd be cheaper to buy a new ripper. Hmmm. Maybe a knife iron would work? Good luck, maybe someone has experience with this.

I"ve taken a fine emery board to mine before.. it was shot anyway so, I didn't figure I had anything to loose... it seemed improve it.. but it was short lived..

I'll be following to see if anyone has any good idea...

Can't we invent instant stitch resolve? We'd make a fortune!
