Ok, looking where to get sharpening equipment for knives, machetes, axes etc? Anyone got ideas, and prices if possible.
It has been a long time since I had to look into these areas, so I thought I would save time and energy and simply ask. Yes, yes, I know, amazing, a male actually asking directions without being hopelessly lost first LOL. |

I have a Lansky kit for all my Blades with an added diamond stone. Works well, perfect angle and finish each time.
For my axes, im slack. I use a bench Grinder to start with, then a flapper disc on a 4" grinder to tidy up my nasty bech job lol then a wet stone to refine it.

yep, just looked, wife gave me the "look" and told me to put it in the budget. No large axe files though, so I will try to pick up some metal files, does the same job.
