My definition of a hatchet is simply a short handled axe.

Re: Axe Sharping

What are you using the axe for ? Post & beam work so a very sharp edge is best ? or ?? With a larger axe for splitting wood do you sharpen differently ? kj This is a Gränsfors small forest axe. It has a larger head and a longer handle than a traditional hatchet which provides more chopping powe...

Axe Sharping

I use a Norton India stone with mineral oil for all of my axe sharping. The challenge for me when using the stone freehand was not cutting my fingers or hand. So I made a simple stone holder to keep the stone in place while clamped to the work bench. By using alternating circular strokes with one ha...

That's an awesome display and a great post. Every time I unboxed my knives I lament putting them away again. Well, rugmar, you've inspired me to display my treasures. Thanks

Re: Oil vs Water

One thing for sure...is, although principles are the same...like fingerprints...I think everyone develops their own unique methods. Just read the sharpening forum and you'll get a million ways to do it. I'll never argue with success! One of the reasons I enjoy this forum so much is being able to dr...

Oil vs Water

Curious about your preferences for oil or water as a lubricant. Personally I prefer diamond and wet stones which require water. I find water is an easier clean up than oil. In your opinion which is the better vehicle for moving swarf?

Re: Why so many “slightly used” Benchmade on eBay

My EDC are tacticals. Either a Emerson Sheepdog or a Benchmade Torrent is in my front pocket. Both are easily accessed and opened with one hand. I use them in the kitchen, outdoors, and occasionally at a resturant cutting up a rare rib-eye. Sometimes a tactical goes in my boot and a pen knife in my ...

Re: Show off your fixed blades!

Those are very nice knives! Is that Morseth an AG Russell release? And can you show the sheath if you have one? Good eye. Yes, that's a Russell made Morseth (2013). The sheath on the left came with the knife. The sheath on the right was made by Savage Made Sheaths in Saxis, VA. Sent him a rough out...

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders

You won't be disappointed owning one. I also have a CQC 15 and a Sheepdog which is my everyday carry. These knives are built rock solid. The only thing keeping me from having a few more is a beautiful stag handle Case.
