For sharpening …
For sharpening blades over 7″, or for repairing damaged blades, nothing beats a power system, like the paper wheels on a grinder or a belt sander. Few things are as entertaining as watching peoples expression when they are shown a machete that will shave hair from your arm without touching the skin. Of coarse this is also very dangerous, so its mostly for showing off. Still for light grasses and vines, it doesnt get much better for cutting.

This technique makes a lot more sense with ‘pocket’ stones/hones, but it can still be very effective… if you have a steady hand hand and some focus there are a lot of different ways you can sharpen effectively.
