You can sharpen the Mini Sampson's edge with a metal file or bench grinder if it dulls after extended use in rocky soil. The aircraft-quality steel holds an edge well, and most detectorists report the pre-sharpened cutting edge remains effective through hundreds of recoveries. Lesche recommends filing the edge at a shallow angle to maintain the original bevel. The rust-resistant finish protects the blade from corrosion, so regular cleaning and light sharpening keep the Mini Sampson performing like new.
