Buying a new blade works good.
Cuz you been using that electric "sharpener".I have about ten or eleven chains for my saw.

Electric sharpeners mostly wear down the chain faster. I watched a real lumberjack cutting trees. Every so often, he'd sit down on a stump and use a hand file to re-sharpen the teeth. We talked a bit and he said the main thing was to not wait too long to re-sharpen. I keep a round file and a flat file in the case with the chainsaw. The Stihl tool cited in an earlier post looks pretty cool.
Throwing chips or starting fires. Lol.I definitely waited too long...the chain starts little friction smoke fires on the tree but doesn’t cut anything LOL
I like the idea of having an extra, sharpened chain ready to go

I have been using a Timberline for a few years.
Love it... also bought the Stihl 2 in 1 easy file for all of my 4 saws and like it very well also because it takes the rakers down on the same stroke as the chain. Pretty nice set up
I keep my chains sharp and also I flip my bar upside down every few tanks of fuel because they will wear on one side of the chain in groove and cause your saw to not want to make straight cut.
A chain can be filed to almost nothing is left and still cut great.. lots of people discard chains that can have lots of life left in them.
Thanks for the info. Never thought about flipping the bar upside down
