How to do it

  1. Make sure the blade meets the anvil (counter surface) – otherwise you have bypass pruners
  2. Open the pruners fully to access the blade
  3. Place the sharpener on the edge and follow the existing bevel
  4. File along the blade until the edge becomes even and clean
  5. Make light passes on both sides to remove the burr

Result

When done correctly, you get:

  • Less effort when cutting
  • Cleaner cuts
  • Less wear on the pruners
