Don't blunt it then.

Anyway if it's just dull 3 strokes freehand on the bar will touch it
up. Rotate the file after every stroke and tap it frequently to shed
the swarf, don't scrimp on files. Use a flat file every few
sharpenings to take down the rakers.


I have a little 12V gadget that does it quite quickly. Frankly I'm glad
of the sit down. I just make sure there's something interesting on Radio
Four.

Is that the Dremel gadget?

Granberg are the one of choice or a cheap disc grinder from Aldi if
you have dinged the chain but frankly the files work out better. As
has been said the powered ones, especially the discs take off far to
much too quickly.
