I'm looking at getting an axe or a hatchet latter this year, so I am looking at what I need to care for it.
I have read British Red's thread How to Sharpen an Axe - Picture Heavy and so I have an understanding of how to sharpen an axe but I am wondering on what peoples opinions of the sharpening tools are. Is it better to buy something like the Gransfors Bruks sharpening system at around £84 or go for the cheaper option like British Red lists.
Which will be better for the long term ?
Which will last long?
If I go for the cheaper option now, will I be replacing bits of it every so often so in the long term costing myself more ?
Are there any other comparable systems to the Gransfors Bruks? Lansky?
