Sharpening
Everyone has their favoured method of sharpening and we are no different. We like the Gransfors Bruks Axe Stone for its quality and its convienience, but generally, in our opinion, everything stacks in favour of diamonds as a sharpening medium.
Our diamond sharpening products are from DMT of the USA, they are extremely high quality and used properly will last a long time. They will stay flat, cut extremely fast and using water are much cleaner than oil stones. But the winning feature for me is the fact they are robust and won't break as readily as a naturally quarried stone or a composite stone. Other stones can be cheaper but this system brings sharpening into the 21st century.
About twice a year we run a one day Tool Sharpening Course, mainly relating to the type of tools featured on this website. Our next Tool Sharpening course is planned for Friday 21 May 2010.
