Every now and then one's scythe blade needs a bit more than the sharpening it gets with every use. Tiny dents in the edge of the blade need hammering out.

| Peening jig set in an old log |
 |
| Cylindrical peening 'nozzle', which slots onto the jig, plus blade, plus hammer |
 |
| Me peening: moving the sharp edge of the blade along bit by bit between the jig and the nozzle and hammering the edge smooth |
Then you sharpen your nicely hammered edge again and get scything.
