Do files count? For blades cutting light grasses, weeds, & holly bushes, I use a coarse/fine hand-i-file. They will shave my arm straight off the file.
I think it would hold up well. Sharpening on the ACE Hardware stone would get close to that. I don't think I'd strop it. I would try using it off the stone.I think a coarse edge would take well to tuning. i.e. stropping or a little back-honing. DM
