Hi Tim You say between services does this mean dealer service ?
I prefer the dealer to sharpen my blades as not confident enough to use a motorised device in case I damage the blade profile .
I find after cleaning all the resin / sap off the blades with cleaner of choice a narrow piece of slip stone and oil re sharpens the edge without damage with blades in situ .
Not sure about modern sharpening stones they just wear away , something more like a piece of old oil stone although the niwaki sharpening stones look okay .
Some get good results with a hand file with the blades in situ .
Cordless grinder for me. Two to three passes leaves it like a razor, Takes 10 mins rather than 45mins with a file.
