How to Sharpen an Axe (Its Easy)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2019
- 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.

Was looking for this in the comments! I'm glad it wasn't just me that thought so!
You made me so happy when you said you were going to use a plain old file,way to go young man.
Thanks. That's how I was taught by my Grandpa lots of years ago.

Grey wolf, why?
@@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.
@@lsmith2129 Yes the way I was taught too
But last week when I got my recent axe out to use & I tried to sharpen it with a file & it just glazed over it....:-(
I tried to find a non power tool way to sharpen an axe, and there are a lot of other videos out there on it that are really long winded. Yours is straight to the point, simple, and effective. I appreciate it.
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful.
Yes, I agree. Thank you!
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDcr-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.

I was looking for this comment
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 !
I liked the way you sped up your video. You could've stretched it out to over 10 minutes sooo easily. Respect and a thumbs up.
Awesome. Thanks. I didnt want to drag it out too much. 👍
I know this is a older video now but, this is the most helpful video I've ever seen. I immediately was able to sharpen my old axe to a frightening level, after being afraid to mess it up for years now. Thank you!
I appreciate the useful tips and the proper demonstrations you used. Thank you for making this video!
I have the same axe. I found your video inspiriting. I'm from Devon England. A big thumbs up.
That has to be the most straight forward and easy way to sharpen an axe. Thank you very much!
And now I have sone filing to do!
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.
Jesus. I didn’t know sharpening an axe is that in-depth! Thanks for the info
I'm sure those are all good points, but it sounds like it becomes no longer "easy". :) "How to Sharpen an Axe (Its Easy)"
@@kwebster62 no... it is detailed and written by a 'detail guy'. Sharpening an axe is not very difficult.
Whats a compound bevel?
@@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.
I really appreciate this straightforward approach. Well done.
I like how you get with it and talk at the same time and give great information.
Nice good basic sharpening video, you made it look easier than I've seen anyone else explain before, thanks
Thank you. Its really that easy too.
Thanks for the lesson easy to follow steps looking forward to your next lesson ty
I appreciate that you used simple tools to sharpen the axe, the video was easy to follow. I took notes and will go try to sharpen my axe. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the tips. Gives me motivation to sharpen my ax. Just found your channel and am liking what I have watched so far.
Thank You.
Good sharpening instructions. Thanks and take care.
I like your tutorial. Straight to the point, you actually demonstrate what's going on and accurate information. Your so called blunt axe head still looks in better condition than mine 😄
Thanks!
Thank you. Very detailed and informative.
very simple and good video....thanks
Well done and explained.
Great presentation! Wonderful help!
Excellent instruction! Thank you!
great video. thanks for taking the time to make it
Great tip using basic tools. Keppin it simple. Thanks for sharing.
THANKS FOR POSTING !!!
First of all, you're about the only person, that I have found that holds the "Old School" truths of file handling, ( back and forth), dulls a file. You're absolutely right! Lots of school systems have discontinued teaching basic shop classes and it's depriving our young, the necessary basic knowledge of how stuff works and how to fix things. When I was in school, Industrial Arts was a required course for the boys and Home EC was required for the girls. It taught them to sew, cook, clean, do laundry, etc and manage a family. Sex education...all of what they would soon, need, to start a family. The boys were invested with OJT (On the Job Training), to be ready to hold down a job and be the bread-winner of the family. The smart phones in our youth's hands have brought them up in a two dimensional alter reality and the lack of shop training, no wonder our country is going down the tubes!
This young man exhibits the fact that he was brought-up knowing right from wrong as well as having good holdsome training! Keep right on doing your thing, young feller!
THANKS AGAIN for posting!
If you'll draw-file the edge first, it will save you lots of work.
Thanks my friend. I too had all sorts of shop classes in school, as well as Home Economics. I took as many of those classes as I could. Thats a good call on the draw filing. I should have started with that. Thats how I sharpen my mower blades.
Very helpful, thanks!
I'd be lost without this video, my first time having an axe and sharpening one. I'm having a tough time making it sharp enough to shave, but it cuts paper with ease. Thanks👍
Great video, short, sweet, very thorough !!!
Loved your video. Well done.
Nicely done Jeff.
I found this video clear, not too long, not too short, effective and informative. Like and sub.
Great video man 👍
Love your energy and sincerity, keep up the good work 🙏
Thanks for this instruction and for keeping it clean. My ten year old son could watch it too. We’re going to have a go at it!
Thank you. You can do this. Its not too hard.
Thanks. To the point and simple.
Nice work man. Thank you
Very well demonstrated and explained.
Thank you!
Just discovered your vid. & I'm going to use your tips to sharpen up my axe tomorrow...thank you for the great vid. man!! 🙂
Nice to see there are smart people out there who still do things the old fashioned way.
The old way is still the good way in a lot of cases.
I never thought of using a file and then the stone. Will give it a try thanks 😮

Good to the point video, thanks for sharing. In the field I use one of the inexpensive pocket sharpeners with the carbon steel and ceramic sticks on the other side. now I need to really sit down and put a good edge on my axe, thanks this is helpful.
