Definitely get it honed by someone who knows what they're doing. Then you can follow. I'm quite impressed by the old time methods you use on the farm. Why is it that you use them? Necessity or choice? Great score though.
Choice. Theres a Massey Ferguson tractor under the barn incase a horse goes lame and we have to work, but the old style is easier on the land, and much more relaxing. If the few who still know it don't practice and preserve it will be a dead art soon.
