@Meomye there is a theory that garden tools can be cleaned by putting them in a bucket of "oiled sand". This a bucket of sand and a small amount of motor oil - l think it can be used oil. Supposed to bring them up like new.

Motor oil is toxic though so I wouldnt fancy spreading it around the garden.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
My secatures get more cleaning than anything much else. The resins from cutting stick up the cuttings I end up cleaning them with Meths. Whats a bit of mud ever done to hurt spade?
A couple of points. Almost every spade / fork which I've had to replace has been replaced because the shaft snapped. No amount of oiling and cleaning and sharpening would have prevented that. Secondly, unlike @Del_Griffith 's guy, I'm no expert at sharpening tools so I fear I'd do more harm than good.
It takes a lot of force to snap well seasoned wood but it becomes weaker if it gets too dry or rots from staying too wet. Clean oiled wood stays stronger for longer. and you don't become an expert at anything without practice
