That's always fun to watch around the holidays. Like Die Hard.
Prove it!Still have the hatchet, and it is still plenty sharp enough to shave with...
Tempting fate with that once was enough lol.Prove it!
It wasn‘t as difficult as it was time consumin. I thinned out the “spine” (the back of the axe) and hollowed the blade to take some weight off and attempt to get some sort of geometry established. i also did a fair amount of ”bevel setting” with a power grinder. To get the right spine to edge geometry I taped popsicle sticks to the back. I had to work the “smile” parts totally separate from the main edge then blend everything together by hand. I finished using A variety of coticules, using different size stones to bring it all together. Then I stropped it by moving the leather rather than the blade (a task made far easier using a cloth wheel with paste!)@CBLindsay how did you hone that thing? It looks and sounds like an awesome edge!
