Filleted hundreds of fish with it and each time when finish, run it through the worksharp. Try it once and you'll see why.

I typically use 1 blade to do both my Deer and my elk, Gutted,skniied and boned out.If it gets a little dull I hit it briefly on my diamond steel. Razor shapr in a couple of strokes. Why not sharpen it and extend the life

Kind of my thoughts too. However, it also makes sense to chuck the worn out blades and put a new one in. After all, that was their design. Pretty funny though how I'll keep touching up a blade to prove a point how many animals I can skin with one blade, while I have a couple hundred extras, lol.
