https://felco.com/en_us/products/accessories/felco-903. There are YouTube videos showing how to use it. Basically you hold the secateurs in the palm of your hand through the handles and rub the sharpening tool in circles on the bevelled part of the cutting blade. Turn them around then burr off the other side of the blade. Takes 5 minutes and returns the blade to factory sharp!

I just dismantle mine and use a sharpening stone. Works great.

You can hold them upside in kind of a western grip and use a regular folding diamond sharpener as well.

My F2s are vintage 1972 and used to cut dozens of branches daily. They have ever needed repair and never sharpened. They work as good as day 1. There is just a little grip wear at the tips of the rubber and a small chip on the blade. https://imgur.com/gallery/lTXaJEy

Sure, but what does this have to do with quality windows, siding, and doors.

As someone who gardens for their living, I can’t fault them, have this same pair and with a weekly sharpen it’s lasted 3+ years now
