Sickle mower sharpener is a stone that has the same angle V as the shape 
between the blades.  I remember my dad buying a new one from Sears that had 
a mechanism for clamping the bar assembly with enough motion to do 2 or 3 
sections before it had to be loosened and moved to the next 2 or 3 sections. 
That went in the junk pile after one use as it was too slow.   Big strong 
farmer could sharpen a 7' knife assembly just by holding them free hand.  By 
the time I was 16 or so, I could too.  Today, I would need the small boy to 
steady the far end to do a good job at the ends.
