Sharpening Secateurs if you've never sharpened anything before..

Secateurs are a great edge tool to get started with sharpening. Its a tool you can strip down if you have the tools or just struggle a bit to get a stone into the cutting edge. Either way, you will notice a difference. And if you follow my guidelines, then it will be worth the effort. 

I find that once people understand the fundamentals of the two edges and how they work with each other, the penny has dropped. Most things that need sharpening will be a piece of cake. Try shears after this. Practice on neighbours shears, friends or relatives. Just get sharpening. Don't try scissors just yet though. They're a few steps up. Give it time. Then try on an old pair of scissors that are really blunt or have a knick in them.
