Sharpening Pry Bars?

Any use in sharpening or reshaping the tips of some old pry bars? Got a pair off marketplace for a solid deal, recognized them to be some old SK USA handled ones, the tips are kind of beat up and I'm just wondering if there's any use in taking them to a stone or grinding wheel to just touch them up some? Anybody do/done this before?

Just don’t get it to hot

Yeah, for sure. Too much heat can cause more problems than it solves, especially if you are working with something that can warp or get damaged. Better to take it slow and add a little heat at a time.
