resharpened

Made keen anew

Resharpened means sharpened again after becoming dull through use.

Knives, tools, and blades that have lost their edge can be resharpened: I had the lawn mower blade resharpened.

The word implies restoration to a previous state of sharpness rather than initial sharpening.
