Does anyone have directions for sharpening a scythe? I take it there's
a technique as opposed to just winging it.

Mine's gotten noticeably duller, and I read it's common to sharpen them
in the field in fact. Not that they're common in the field, but given
that you have one there, odds are that it's being sharpened.

Go to the nearest home improvement store and buy a scythe stone. Wet
it; then use it to sharpen the blade by moving the stone back and
forth along the edge. It's easy.

BTW, sharpen only one side of the edge. You want one bevel, not two.
