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...
