even worse; if you have no sharpening experience.

I have no sharpening experience at all, except sharpening the kitchen
knives. I don't know whether my secateurs are 'anvil' or not either, how
do I know? I guess it's a skill I should learn because then I could
sharpen my mower, axe, shears, and all my three pairs of secateurs.
