If you are the least bit handy I would do it yourself. I have been sharpening my Strikemaster for years.
I would take off the cutter head so it is easier to work with.
Take a small block of wood or MDF, wrap it with a piece of 150 grit sandpaper.
Use it like a file, with a back and forth motion on the cutting edge.
The key to success is to hold the block at the same angle as the original grind of the blade.
As it gets sharper the surface will start to shin. Be patient if this is the first time you have done this to that blade.
When you think you are done, take the block and sand off the burr that has formed on the un-ground side of the blade.
To remove the burr following the back surface with the sandpaper block.
I usually do this in the fall before I have ice and once mid- season when it take a little longer to punch holes.
Fish on!!!
