peer agreement (net): +1to stretch and sharpen Explanation: натягивать: A flat cutting instrument, when a small portion of metal has gone from the cutting edge (a notch has appeared), can be repaired by heating it and hammering on its flat side in such a way, that the metal would stretch in the direction of the notch and replace the metal that has gone. наточить: to sharpen. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2012-01-09 18:09:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, it's a very low-tech. But at that time new instruments were very hard to get, and such methods of repair were practiced. |
