Default Sharpening HSS Parting Blades

Several of the guys in my high school machine shop class would anxiously
await the changing of the power hacksaw blade, so they could get the
discarded one to make a throwing knife.. by grinding away a lot of the blade
on the honkin bigass pedestal grinder.

Mmmmm.. sparks

However, my experience with grinding the teeth off of a HSS power-hacksaw
blade, and then shaping it, is that I eat up so much of the grinding wheel
that I would have been better off buying one.

I just happen to have a box of unused Sandvik power-hacksaw blades and
some old grinding wheels.
