A dull tool is a dangerous tool. It requires more force, it slips more often, and it produces worse results. Sharpening is the skill that unlocks every other hand tool skill.

These guides teach one sharpening system that works, then expand to specialized techniques as you need them. You don't need a $500 setup. A combination stone and a leather strop will get you started.
