I use a good quality long file if it's just a little dull then a wet stone to put a micro bevel on the edge, if it's really bad I use my hand held angle grinder with a disk of flaps of sand paper, trying to count the number of passesＩ　make to keep it even, then find a bolt that fits loose in the hole of the blade to ballence it on to see if it's balanced, a string works well too.
To sharpen a reel mower you can use valve lapping compound to touch it up, other wise take it to a golf course, as they tend to have a pull behind multi gang reel mower for their grass and the equipment to sharpen them, it might cost you $20 but last you many years.
