WANTED: Axe stone

[Matt Weir]

Hi All,

Now I have my new Cegga BR Axe I'm in need of some way to maintain the edge so if anyone has a spare bit of kit that you want to flog give me a shout and hopefully we can work out a price. I've checked ebay but don't want to lash out over £20 on a Gransfors stone if I can help it

Ta,

Hunter hone Matt - cost - nothing!

As in this post Red? As the axe has a convex edge I will need the mousemat version but am not sure on the correct technique for sharpening a convex edge using this type of hone. Better to use a circular action like a standard axe stone or use a push/draw action? If you could point me in the right direction that'd be grand.

Matt, check the New Pocket Axe thread, it's got loads of info on axe sharpening.
