After removing some tree stumps with my axe, the edge is in really bad shape and needs sharpening. I'm going to show you how to do it with a file and an inexpensive sharpening stone. To finish it off, I'll use my homemade leather strop.
Here's the link to the Strop Video. • Make a Leather Sharpen...

@@jacksonelliott2574 most people run to a grinder and put an angled edge on the axe head when an axe head should have a convex edge,with a file it's easy to shape the cutting edge properly,at least that's how I learned how to sharpen them.

I have been a wildfire sawyer for 23 years and for my hand tools and axes this is absolutely the method to use followed with a pocket puck and a pocket finishing stone. There is nothing more dangerous than a tool that should be sharp and is not …. It is very easy to get a axe to the point where you can shave with it and in fact the strop method after finishing stone and should be ready to shave and shave test should be the go to. Good video !

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ru-vid.comUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

Just three tips for you. (1) Finish with alternating laps. A stroke on one side, stroke on the other. This helps to prevent burr buildup, which can be beneficial while setting the bevel but is your enemy at the finish, because a burr becomes a wire edge. It folds over readily. (2) Apply a compound bevel when you think you are finished. Simply add a few very light laps at a slightly higher angle for a microbevel. This makes the edge much more robust. (3) You don't need the paddle strop and CrOx. There is no need to go any finer than 1k grit, which is around 13 μm. CrOx is around .5μm or roughly 30k grit. I your application it has some benefit but only in temporarily aligning the edge and removing SOME of the burr. A 1k stone or a natural of similar effect for finishing your edge would be better, IF PROPERLY USED. (4) Oops yeah one more. The way you clamped the ax allows it to rotate a good bit, which results in a very slight convexing. Not a dealbreaker but not optimum, either. Try clamping the ax head in your bench vise. If you can get just the back 3/4" solid in the vise, good enough. (5) Glad to see you are using a handle on your file. It should be stressed that a handle on the file tang has saved a LOT of hands from getting very nasty slices, and not using one has resulted in some crazy cuts, often resulting in trips to the ER.

Whats a compound bevel?
@growleym504
@growleym504 Год назад
@@butterypigeons1089 A compound bevel is when you form a primary bevel and then apply a few final laps at a slightly higher angle. This gives you much of the advantage of a more acute bevel, with some of the robustness of a more obtuse bevel. In other words it cuts good but the edge is not as easily damaged.
