Thank you from a 65 year old widowed farmer woman. Your puppy is so cute!
I know the name of my stone is a 'wet stone' but I was trying to use it dry to sharpen my sickle. I will try again now.

thanks for your feedback

Why is it necessary to sharp the flat surface too?

[@AgricultureBasics]

This is a hand made model..... It belonged to my grandfather.... The back is not much flat it is bent in a v shape. So I just make sure we have a flat edge and remove any imperfections.

I just use a scythe stone and a curved stone 🤷‍♂️

[@AgricultureBasics]

Curved stones are great and much better than flat stones, if i'll find some in my local store i'll buy it. Thanks for the tip

Just high class butchery - sand paper - NO !
At least you got the bit about only sharpening 1 side correct...

[@AgricultureBasics]

The sand paper was used to remove the surface rust as there was a bit.... it isn't part of the sharpening process. Thanks

[@ColePanike]

Sandpaper is a perfectly acceptable means of rust removal. This is not your lawn. We don't have to get off it.
