    SHRPENING BLADES Is there really a better way?

    Really? Yah, I saw a set in a Tractor Supply for under $40 and wondered how one sharpens them and how they deal with rocks. Package said they stay sharp longer. Then what? I worked with carbide for decades as a machinist/toolmaker and I know that you can't get a decent edge using those...
