This, the original Gransfors Axe Stone, comes highly recommended by Ray for sharpening knives as well as sharpening axes. The double-sided circular stone has both a coarse
and fine side, allowing you to sharpen your axe to a razor-sharp edge.
It comes encased in durable rubber, helping to keep it in place when in use, while the stone is round and flat with a bevelled edge to prevent chipping.
With a coarse side to deal with more substantial chips and dings, and a fine side suitable for fine grinding and sharpening, this is the only axe sharpener you'll need when out in the field. And with a diameter of 57 mm and weighing in at just 160 g, it certainly won't weigh you down. It makes the perfect partner to the Gransfors Axe File, which is required when heavier damage has been inflicted to your axe.
Details:
- Grain size on coarse side: 180
- Grain size on fine side: 600
- Diameter of stone: 57 mm
- Total weight: 160 g
- Normally used with water, but can also be used dry
- Art. no: 403-4
After sharpening your axe, Woodlore recommend the use of Camellia Oil to protect the blade from rust and corrosion.

I went for this one being the 'original' stone so can't compare it to the new ceramic one but the rubber container grips a surface really well and the stone is easy to work with for getting things sharp again.
