Hi all,
I'd like to sharpen up my faithful Felco #2 secateurs, what's the best
method?
Thanks,

Use a small oilstone and sharpen the angle.
DO NOT, REPEAT NOT TOUCH THE FACES WHICH SLIDE TOGETHER Sorry for shouting
but the two faces which slide together are a scissor slicing action
............. (look at a pair of scissors and see how they slice as they come
together)
You only need a small oilstone, mine was a free sample from a Rep when I had
my factories, and use 3 in 1 or suchlike oil.
An angle of ABOUT 45 degrees.
Try slicing paper when you feel they are right.
