Ah no... stone only goes in about 1cm, just a bit further than the sliver of Red Mallee at the end. Tams of any shape don’t seem to get much longer than that I don’t think...
But how do you use the stone at the handle end?
Show me how to sharpen a pruning shears with the handle attatched?
Similar to a sythe stone you use both ends.
Or if you put a handle on one end you loose the abiltiy to use that end.
