If you carry an axe or hatchet into the bush, consider investing in a quality sharpening puck. These little stones are ideal for sharpening axes and hatchets as they offer you the ability to grasp the entire stone in a way that is much more ergonomic than sharpening an axe or hatchet on a bench stone.
The Gransfors Bruks sharpening puck is an excellent piece of kit.
The stone is a 50/50 combination of coarse (180 grit) and fine (600 grit). It’s housed in a rubberized case which makes it impact resistant and easy to transport.
Cost: Around CDN $45
