Anyone here good with antique tools? My long arm lopper[? I want to call it a billhook] is in dire need of a sharpen, but I'm hesitant to undo the bolt without knowing how to properly retension it.

Even replacing the bolt with a bolt held in place by a through-pin and washer rather than a nut so it's easy to service again if you need to.

This kind of pin, IDK what they're called.
