How to sharpen a sickle. Soak the sharpening stone in water until it absorbs water. A sickle usually has a single bevel, so sharpen the side with the blade. Sharpen it perpendicularly according to the angle of the blade. When a burr forms on the back, it's a sign that it's sharpened. Lightly run it over the burr a few times to remove it, and you're done.
How to sharpen a saw tooth sickle. Sharpen the opposite side of the serrated (凹凸) blade. Sharpen it perpendicularly to the blade surface. When a good serrated edge appears and a burr forms on the back, remove the burr by running it over a few times, just like with a regular sickle. If storing for a long period after use, don't forget to wipe it with oil, such as camellia oil. Dry the sharpening stone in a well-ventilated, shaded area before storing.
