How often do you sharpen your Logrite tools?

Just wondering how people touch up or sharpen their hookaroons and cant hooks.  My hookaroon seems to need a tune up after a pretty short time.  It didn't hit anything to deform the tip.  Just a might dull but it doesn't work quite as well as it did.

The cant hooks hold up fine.  I even had to knock the edge off one them when new.

BT, I touch up the points and edges of my cant/peavy's when I think of it. I think most folks just forget about it. Some tools work better a little blunt like pulp hooks. Usually a couple of strokes with a file does the deed unless your rolling rocks around. Frank C.

I give mine a "once over" each year and touch up the points/edges. LINK

Sharpen cant hooks as needed, not very often, maybe once every 3 years or so.

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
