Amazing tool! Seems like one of those that can be maintained and inherited in the family. I recently got into wood carving so my first instinct was if this tool would require sharpening.
A quick search on youtube lead to some results. Though, it was not this particular hoe. I'm wondering if the Russian approach with this hoe would require sharpening. It seems like if the hoe gets in contact with rocks over time, it may require some sharpening.
