Axe Sharpening For Bushcraft, Woodcraft & Camping - How, What and Why

This is an in-depth video on how I go about sharpening axes, and demonstrating methods I also show my students on courses. I discuss various options and combinations of sharpening equipment. Throughout the aim is to be efficient with the sharpening, often with only limited equipment, which is paritcularly relevant for remote camps and self-propelled trips. We also don't want to spend a fortune on sharpening kit. I look at using bench stones, modified bench stones, specialist axe stones, small pocket stones, as well stropping. I finish with a few words on protecting your axe after you have finished sharpening it.
