Hi, have just recently joined. I have a few pairs of mid priced secateurs which need sharpening. Looking on google there are plenty of different types. Has anyone tried different styles and has a favourite?
Intending to purchase Felco secateurs but would still like to sharpen the ones I have.Thanks for reading.

my sharpener is my husband,as a job he was a blacksmith/farrier and knows metals and how to sharpen them,if you get really stuck i am sure he would sharpen them for you.

Hello I use a file to take any Nick's out of the blade then use an old broken scythe stone to rub the edge up to sharp then use a leather belt to strop the back of the cutting edge,if you use a belt to hold your trousers up it's always with you jezza
