    By passable results I mean I seem to be removing metal okay. I wasn't sure of the hardness of these and was concerned I might need to use diamond plates (which I don't have) or send them away to be sharpened by a saw doctor. But it looks like some more elbow grease will get them sharp.

    With two sets of trenching heads I have 8 knickers to sharpen.

    Then I'll have to set them into the heads and see if my sharpening is good enough...

    My adze cutters have damage to the edge which requires grinding back.
