Default Sharpening HSS Parting Blades

I've been using box cutters to score thin sheets of Phosphor-Bronze so
I can break off strips, but it is a tedious process, and as a result
I'm looking for a better way.

Is it plausible to pick up so parting blades and sharpen them top a
knifes edge on a grinder? I thought perhaps I could then make some
sort of handle to hold them while I used them on the Phosphor-Bronze.

I know this would be an unconventional use for parting blades and any
better ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
