What Did You Sharpen Today?

I've heard of them but didn't know the back story. It's been years since I've been that far north, Coeur d' Alene or Sandpoint I think?

New brick & mortar store opening in Post Falls this fall. I'll eventually get out there.

Must not have been the one I was thinking of, there is another one in Northern Idaho that is supposed to be pretty good.

They had a previous location in Post Falls. It's closed now.

I sharpened a Collins single bit that is stamped 1 3/4 lb, but I weighed it and it weighed 1lb 15.5 oz. I just finished a 22.5" maple handle for it and hung it on my coyote hunting pack. I draw filed it with a double cut to change the edge profile, then used a finer single cut to clean it up, then used a coarse and fine round stone, a fine small stone and then stropped it. It's a sharp as I can get it, shave sharp. Everytime I use one of my axes or hatchets I touch them up. Dog

Someday I'll get that process figured out. Thanks, Dog

Thread revival!

I wasn’t sure if banana grinds are appropriate on hatchets, but this thread assured me that I hadn’t mess up this old Walters Black Diamond Montreal pattern hatchet head


I smoothed the bit with ceramic stones. The whole banana will probably get a strop polish soon as well.
