Got a hatchet that could stand some sharpening. Googling and YouTubing
shows most every conceivable way to do it.

Any real world advice from someone who's done it successfully?

Thanks guys, I think I'll hit it with a file...


A metal file is what you might need. A course (medium course) and a
fine file.

Get an edge on it.


Do that with a belt sander and you will forget where you keep the
file. Same with a dremel and a chain saw chain.
Unless you are Amish, there is a better way.
