What Is the Best Thing to Sharpen an Axe With?
Keeping your edged tools sharp will help you work efficiently. You can use a file on your axe, but filing takes time. A bench grinder will do the job, but you won’t get a precise finish — and these axe-sharpening tools won’t do you any good when you’re in the wilderness.
An axe-sharpening stone is the best tool for maintaining your blades’ sharpness on the go. You can sharpen axes, machetes, hatchets, and garden tools with a good-quality dual-grit sharpening stone.
How to Sharpen a Blade with an Axe sharpening stone?
Before getting started, clean your axe head and put a couple of drops of honing oil on the rough side of your axe sharpener. Then, sharpen the first side of the blade with the coarse side of the stone using a circular motion and maintaining a consistent angle.
Next, sharpen the other side with the coarse part of the stone. Again, make circular passes and keep the angle steady. Then, do the same thing with the fine side of the stone to refine the edge.
How Often Should You Use Your Axe Sharpener?
You should sharpen your axe regularly — so you’re not struggling to chop wood with a dull blade.
A good rule of thumb is to sharpen after a few hours of work. If you keep your tools sharp, you won’t need more than a minor touch-up with your axe sharpener to get good results.
