I apologize if this has been brought up before, but its new
to me. My neighbor just discovered that you can do a
great job of sharpening lawn mower blades with those
cheap hand held knife sharpeners...the ones that wrap
around your hand and you draw your knife through it.
They cost around 5:00 bucks, but they do a great job
on the blades

Whenever I've sharpened blades, they need a LOT more than a "hand" sharpening.
The ends of the blade get pretty beat up.
