Sharpening Stones for Axes, Adzes, Edge Tools

A selection of useful edge tool sharpeners. The Gransfors Bruks axe stone is very popular as it is a very compact, relatively lightweight option. Also consider the ultra fine arkansas stone which gives a very keen finishing edge. This stone is popluar with competition log cutters who need their edges to be razor sharp.
If you axe edge is slightly dulled then a diamond stone will restore a cutting edge quickly but these are not finishing stones.
Gränsfors Axe Stone Ref: GR-AXE-ST

A fast-cutting, 2-1/4" diameter sharpening stone with a friction-fit rubber clamshell case for secure grip. The coarse side removes nicks whilst the fine side is for honing or maintaining an existing edge. The abrasive is natural sandstone from the island of Gotland in Sweden.
Best used with water as a lubricant, but can also be used dry. Unaffected by freezing temperatures (even when wet), its compact size makes it easy to carry.

Used to produce the keenest, most precise finish possible. May contain shades of red, yellow and grey.
