Axe Hand Filing ASMR [NO TALKING] Collins Bonded

Getting After It With this Collins Axe hand filing session. This Collins Bonded Axe head is in great shape other than needing a completely fresh bevel. once the hand filing and sanding of the bevel is done I use a paddle strop with compounds to get a razor sharp edge, as shown in other videos.

Man so many haters and complainers - file is the way to go - double or single - I feel it’s up to how well it’s cutting each axe. And depending on the axe manufacture and what they use, steel wise, will determine what file im using (ie. Medium - Coarse single cut, and medium to fine single cut, or fine double cut work the best imho). Stones are good for a field repair or to fine tune a sharpening

Axe blade is slightly softer than a file. Different temper. It has to be as it's a chopping tool so would break if too hard. File is about as hard as possible. Very brittle. However it's hard steel against hard steel. A good stone will work better and preserve your files.

Axes are designed to be file sharpened. The file works MUCH faster for reshaping and profiling like this, then a stone can used to maintain the edge. Or just continue to use a finer file to maintain the edge by periodically touching it up 👍 that's a very traditional method

Hmmmm. It doesn't bode well for the file to cut tool steel so easily. That seems like it must be a very soft axe
