Sharpen or buy new?

I appreciate this discussion. One issue for me is that I use a lot of recycled wood, so I'm not sure how effectively the sharpeners can grind down and eliminate nail nicks.

Get a metal detector. It will save a bunch of pain in the future.

Good advice. I have an old cow magnet, but a metal detector would be better.
