Hi folks,
I bought this really cool 3M tape dispenser recently. It's cast iron
and weighs a ton:

But the blade's a little blunt and I can't find anyone who supplies
replacements. It's not incredibly blunt - it still cuts tape with a
bit of effort - but ideally it would be sharper.
Anyone got an idea for a good way to sharpen the blade? I was thinking
of carefully sharpening the teeth individually using a good quality,
half-round needle file.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Best wishes,
Chris
