Sharpening Spearhead topper blades

We have a 2016 Spearhead 6.2m batwing topper. The blades are getting quite blunt now. I don’t think any are out of shape. It still makes a reasonably tidy job most of the time but doesn’t seem to have the same ability to lift the wheelings. Is sharpening worth it or should we get new blades?

The lift doesn’t come from the cutting edge. It comes from the fin or wing. Both parts help but if you look at the fin it could be worn.

We supply blades at discounted rates. About £20 off per blade at the minute.
