Okay so what do you use to sharpen them with. A wet stone? 180 grit?

I use a westone maybe seasonally, or times of heavy use - It's worth mentioning they are worth the purchase because I also sythe. For everyday maintenance, I bought a Barnel XL Sharpener from a local gardening store that has a tapered shaft that work on 99% of my cutting tools.
