Unless you nick the blade a swaty or any other good finishing hone should do the trick. Chrome Ox with a paddle will get you BBS everytime, your neighbors will notice the difference too, all the birds and bees will be at your place!
Used to use these things when I was a kid, about the time Fred Flinstone got rid of his turtle mower, they work great as long as you keep them sharp and the grass doesnt get too thick or high, otherwise its like shaving with a badly honed razor, except all over the yard!
