Thread: Wifelette Bought me a hone:))

She haunts garage sales,so hey,she is instructed as to things to look for
Today she brings home A carborundum 107,not a razor hone but for 50 cents,what the heck.
Actually have never seen a round Hone.

Generally used for axes.. Pretty cool though.

Yes,,, axes, machetes, great for putting in a backpack for the woods. My grandfather kept one on the dash of his truck. he honed the edges of his field knives before work each day.

For .50 cents it's a heck of a buy.
Thanks for sharing it.

Thx guys,suppose you sort of use it by holding in your hand to hone an axe or such.

Stabilize the blade or axe head, then use the stone (puck) in your hand , doing circular polishing motions down each side. Some use straight strokes down each side. A container of water close by, to flush the metal from the stone as you work it. Some use a spray bottle of WD-40 or even Simple Green will flush the metal out. In the field you could hone it next to a stream or pond. Then lube.
Just my thoughts.

Thx H
Axes Scare the hell out of me,I could cut myself

Swinging the axe is the dangerous part for me; I've been nicked by my razors , but not my axes or machetes.
