If it cut O.K. the first couple of holes, I'd say the blades are dull. I have used an 8" for some years now. I find that once in a while I just hit some hard ice (or a beer can or two) and it takes the edge off of my blades in one shot. I usually carry a new set out with me. I found one sharpener that I can use on mine in a pinch, but I still can't get an edge like the new ones. If you know how to sharpen them, try that. If not, get a new set and see if that fixes the problem. Hope it helps.
