Chris,
I've had my current one for like 8 to 10 years.....I've had it sharpened a couple of times by the guy that goes up and down the streets during summer with his truck.

Ahh Am I the only one that notice, He is showing a picture of a cheep Chinese knock off? That is not a Lesche in your picture but a fake. Least it looks that way to me. There should not be any weld marks on the shovel blade at all, But the shovel in the picture has a weld mark both on the front and the back of the blade close to the handle. Instead of a weld mark there there should be a forged /casted raised hump on the front of the shovel blade, and a corresponding divot on the back. See my image below, where my image of a genuine digger has a hump just below the warning sicker, his image has a weld. his image also appears to have a flat shovel blade, where the real digger blade would be curved.
Ohh and 4 years still on my first digger....

Still on my first . . . maybe 10 years now. Been sharpened at least every February. Usually when I start to get antsy.
Seems a little odd that a high quality tool like that would only last you a year. It's possible but odd.
Did you buy them all at the same place?
Nice Mk 3 Mod 0! I've had one of those on the boat for a long time. As you say - tough as a file. I use diamond hones.
13 months of hard use... no winter time off for me. I don't clean or sharpen mine. So far so good, I believe it will last for several more years... at least.
