It's not easy, honestly, because you have to keep the correct bevel (I'm assuming you mean hand-shears.) I believe that Burgon and Ball still makes a special whet-stone that is mounted in a small plastic case and set at the correct angle for sharpening the shears. I used to have one of these, and they worked, at least with my Burgon and Ball shears. There may also be other information on the internet. A professional knife or scissors sharpener, if you can find one, may also be able to help you. I will say that if you don't get the bevel correct, the shears are worthless.

With my small flock, and especially with my Angora goats, the problem of sharpening the shears is honestly one of the reasons that I started using cheap scissors in some cases.
