Axes & Hatchets & Tips & Tricks: Sharpening, Storing, Using & Handles

Sharpening

A convex edge is used for limbing, felling, and splitting (1). A straight edge is used for carving (2). A slanted axe poses a safety risk! It's very easy to slip with it (3). A concave edge can easily cause the axe blade to chip (4). An axe blade can be sharpened with a dry grinder or a bench grinder.

The safest method is to use a wet grinder; however, it may then be necessary to first remove burrs and other damage with another grinding tool, such as a bench grinder.

Caution! Be extremely careful and protect the axe from heat! If the cutting edge turns blue at any point, this indicates a loss of hardness, which significantly impairs the steel's resistance.

Storage

Never store an axe in excessively dry environments, in boiler rooms, or leaning against a radiator. This can cause the handle to shrink and the head to loosen during use.

Use

Never strike the neck of an axe with another tool. Never use an axe as a hammer. Only a hammer axe may be used as a hammer.

Repairing a Broken Handle

If an axe, sledgehammer, or hammer breaks, it is usually due to the handle. A defective or damaged handle poses a safety risk. If the head However, if the tool is still in good condition, it simply needs a new handle and can then be used again.

When fitting a tool with a handle, the handle must be completely dry. If the handle dries only after the head is attached, it can loosen. The same applies to a wedge if you are using a wooden wedge for fitting the handle.
