Guide

### Every three to five minutes, all day, which is the actual rhythm

Beginners sharpen at the start and wonder why it stops cutting. A scythe is honed constantly, and the pauses are part of the work rather than an interruption.

#### The rhythm

Twenty strokes with the stone every three to five minutes of mowing. It takes fifteen seconds and it is what makes the whole thing effortless.

#### Peening

Every eight to ten hours the edge is hammered thin again on an anvil. Honing maintains an edge; peening recreates it and cannot be skipped.

#### What good feels like

The blade should hiss rather than thud. If you are pushing, it is blunt, and pushing harder is the wrong response every time.
