    Do the same thing.

    Don't have a good answer as to "why" though.

    Usually I am just too lazy to mess with it. I find if I keep using the blade it does finally sharpen up a bit.

    I just don't think about it until my wrist starts hurting, and then I realize how hard I am having to press down on that dull blade :roll: :D:D:D
