Does anyone sharpen their tiller tines?

They're sorta "self sharpening" as they wear. Not sure I'd want 'em any "sharper" than what they come from the factory.

I think sharpening them would cause them to wear faster and be more subject to damage. I never sharpen mine.

My tiller is 7 years old and it still has the original tines, (never sharpened except thru use).

I have mine honed and sharpened by Hungarian sharpening masters. I like to maintain them razor sharp in case I encounter some ground dwelling varmints.

Like most of the other guys, the extent of maintenance on my tiller tines was to sometimes wash them off with a garden hose if I'd been tilling in wet conditions.:D
