Any idea what it's worth or how much time goes into sharpening a saw
like this one?


If you flatten and reset all teeth, then sharpen, your first one might
take you a couple hours. The second would take you less than an hour,
and the third about half an hour, once you develop the feel for it and
get into the groove. It's a Zen thing.


Just how difficult is it to do a decent sharpening job?


Not all that difficult...if you have the patience.
