Could someone descibe the technique/tools they use to sharpen sickle edge?

Hello - we include a Lansky Sharpening Stone (American Made) in our orders that is a long, rounded rectangular shape. You will use the wide side of the stone to sharpen the long blade and the edge of the stone for the hook. Sharpen in one 'pushing' motion, not pulling. Pushing the stone against the edge in one direction will sharpen the sickle edge. The long length of the stone will keep your hands and fingers away from the sharp edge. Scotch Brite material should remove rust on the flat surfaces.

What is that little notch next to the hook for? Besides pulling branches what does that hook do that the straight blade couldn't?

The notch is used for hand placement when making shavings from a log. The hook is used to clear areas where swinging is not possible. For example, when you clear vines from next to a building or post, you can not use a full swing motion, so instead you can use the hook and pull it towards you. The hook comes in very handy in tight quarter clearing.

I plan on using this on a traditional wooden sailing boat, does this rust I need to know?

I don't know what to tell you. I use mine camping and hiking etc and so far no rust but I don't abuse the tool. I take care of it. Advertisements indicate maximum corrosion protection that lasts for a lifetime. Freshwater boating you probably can maintain rust free, salt water = good luck. check youtube review they can be informative.

Yes, full tang. Good steel also. Pretty awesome tool to have.
