Scuffing new chipper knives

[Knotguilty]

Bandit claims doing this can double the chipper knife life.

Take your new, or freshly shapened chipper knife and scuff the edge. Run a #10 bastard file perpendicular to the edge. Seems counter intuitive.

Anybody do this?

It must work if bandit recommends it. I would think they know what they are talking about. I use a bevel buddy for my morbark. I wonder which method is better?
