"Anglegrinder with the blades still on the machine.   A 10 minute job.  15 minutes if the blades are on each side.  Try not to heat the blades up with thegrinder............ I might b e wrong but I suspect it might affect the hardness.

"I let the dealer do that... same as John. 
I also am pretty careful as to what I ask them to cut - no chewing through growth thats too course for them - and clean them off with spray after most times they are used."

I know that the proper way is to dismantle the blades and sharpen them on a bench jig every time, but that ain't happening!  What is people's preferred method for a touch-up between services?  File, dremel, angle grinder?
