I shaped a hoof with a dull rasp for a whole week before I noticed

My main rasp got left at a barn in Salem and I just kept using my old backup without thinking. After seven days of feeling like I was fighting the hoof, my buddy asked to borrow it and said 'Grant, this thing is smoother than a river rock'. I learned that a tool can feel normal to you even when it's totally shot. How often do you guys check your rasps for sharpness?
