Sharpen or Not to Sharpen WW 2 Blades
Raj
I have two blades that need care but don't know if the sharpening cost is worth it and I should just buy new ones. One needs a tooth replaced and 3 chipped teeth that will need regrinding. The other blade has four teeth that are chipped and will need regrinding. Appreciate what you think about this.

I would send it back to Forrest. (I sent one) They do an excellent job at a reasonable price. The worst part was the shipping.
It may be possible for others to do a good job, but I had terrible luck with local services and I KNOW Forrest can do it well.

Even with the cost of shipping you'll easily still be money ahead by having it sharpened vs buying a new WW2.

I would definitely ship them off to Forrest without a second thought. They've reworked a few of my blades, both theirs and others, with perfect results. It sounds as if the damage to either of your blades is relatively minor.
