Sharpening mandolin blades

[barbouni]

Since I am on this sharpening kick, it has occured to me that I have never sharpened my mandolin. Any chefs out there get these blades really sharp?

I've sharpend Japanese Mandolines before, it's very easy. Single bevel make it a snap.

I have a bron. Once in a while I will just run a stone back and forth on the top side of the blade. To really sharpen it, you must take the plate off. This looks pretty easy. There are a few nuts that allow this. Don't even price replacement parts. If I ever need to replace a part on it I will probably just buy a benriner(or two) instead. I imagine I should break mine down one of these days and sharpen it.
