You would know when to change the blade when these symptoms show up. a.) It doesn't shave at all or shaves very little at a time even when your blade is raised to the max b.) The quality of the ice that is being shaved is a lot more coarse, you will notice this if you are constantly making shave ice daily.

However, you should check the tension on the shavers first. I have Fujimarcas so I can easily check them. Swans or Snowies, etc may have different methods of checking.

Most of the time, it's a dull blade. It may look sharp, but it won't shave the ice very finely. I keep at least 10 blades on hand throughout the summer season.
I love Shave Ice, period. :D
