How to Field Sharpen an Axe or Hatchet with a Puck Sharpening Stone

[@VintageCraftsmanTools]

Best short video I have seen so far about sharpening your axe. I recently purchased a kit and have checked multiple videos regarding sharpening an axe. This was one of the best short one that I have seen. Nice and cheers.

[@kentuckycowboy2]

Great video , I had never considered using it on other garden tools & can not wait for those instructional videos .

[@nikkih1228]

Love that the puck comes with. Always left these areas for them men to do, but now, the hubby's work hours have left me on my own camping and around the yard. Great tips, will definitely be watching more!

[@MarekTrela]

This how all instructional videos should be made like! Exactly what I was looking for. Bravo

[@wgvantine]

Great tips, especially on how to hold the axe properly. this is a must - see video for anyone heading into the woods with a hatchet!

[@stevencedrone]

Schrade rocks! The SCAXE2L is a fine addition to anyone's gear! The tutorial really helps - I need both the hatchet and the puck! It's incredible that you even send a puck with the SCAXE2L!!!!!!!!

[@jhan02]

Count me in! Thanks for the opportunity! I definitely NEED a dependable axe to keep on me at all times! And this one would definitely fit the bill! Keeping my fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!

[@chrisk4710]

Having that puck is incredibly handy and a short video tutorial for proper use is awesome!

[@derecklockwood8633]

always wanted the axe/hatchet lines from Schrade! After talking to people, it's pretty surprising how many people have no idea how to sharpen a blade of any kind.

[@Kevin-uk6ym]

After watching the video I have a new and useful understanding of the proper handling of the sharpening of an axe or similar survival tool. I found it incredibly helpful and informative and plan on using the tips very soon as my family and I head out for our annual two weeks of outdoor activities. I truly live the design of your featured item. It seems very well built and durable. I believe that it is one item I could definitely use in my arsenal for the amount of time I spend in the outdoors! Thank you for the opportunity!

[@michaelb.grammer6807]

Handy tips delivered in easy manner. Not too long. Not too short. Great products here.

[@willchouinard9457]

I like how informative you all are. I know quite a few people who have problems with the puck sharpener but you put it into words every one can understande

[@jamestaylor3052]

this is a lot better than grabbing the file like my dad used to do. that axe is something i really need to round out my kit. i really like that you've included the stone to give a complete package.

[@NatalieVandenberghe]

I've never sharpened an axe before, so I really appreciate the "How To" instructions + video. Thanks!

[@halffulldeck5321]

I'm really glad that you've started making these videos on how to properly care for the products that you manufacture. I se myself putting these skills to good use in the future. I also love the look of that SCAXE2. And the fact that it comes with it's own sharpening puck! Keep up the good work Schrade!

[@jessegarcia1605]

The simplicity of following the videos is awesome. Great info and I like to use my good old sharpening rock.

[@joanwatson2625]

I love the fact you also threw safety tips in as well. And the tip about the lubrication to make it easier .... some ppl don't know that although i did lol. I sharpened in one direction, thank you for letting me know about sharpening in clockwise circular motions and actually counting the ammount of times on each side because i would never have known that!!! Wonderful video ty !!!

[@thomassteplyk7637]

Proper handling of the axe to sharpen is one of the great tips.

[@mewilli1941]

Again Schrade beats the competition! Would love to have tis for when cutting firewood!

[@msparling3020]

Nice ax! This video had lots of useful information about using the puck to sharpen axes in various conditions. Thanks, Schrade!

[@RonBrumleve]

I like this video and I learned something. I had no idea it was not only OK but actually recommended to move the sharpening stone in circles.

[@mikenorris564]

This is a super easy way to do this quickly. I have to get one of the pucks! The hatchet looks very nice, good job

[@SherPettit]

Great How To Video! We use an Arkansas sharpening stone for our blades. Thank you for sharing!

[@michaellaird9262]

Love the quick tips & that you mention you can use water to help sharpen your axe or machete. Just in case you don't have the oil with you when you need to resharpen.

[@cleverrascal789]

Very informative tips and tricks without being overly complicated. I usually just use a grindstone to sharp my hatchet.

[@beautifuldisaster9232]

Easy to follow tips for a novice! I can't wait to try these tips out and see if I can surprise my boyfriend with sharpening my own stuff from now on! Thank you for this useful video and keep up the great work!

[@kellyc4489]

I had no idea you can lubricate with just water while sharpening, thanks for being so informative!

[@tjsogmc]

And.... the first axe shown in the Schrade brand company video....a Estwing Sportsman's Axe. Estwing thanks Schrade for the shout-out.

[@maureenrear5866]

Like the sharpening video and love the puck. I have one that I have used for 40 years so it is a lot thinner but still works great. nice to know I can get a new one. thanks

[@PreparedWolf34]

It's really great you provide the puck with the axe! Love the fact you mention water can work as well as honing oil.

[@allemander]

This was a great, simple tutorial on necessary blade edge maintenance in the field. I found it to be very useful and highly informative. Previously, I've used the diamond stones from my Wicked Edge sharpening system to manually sharpen or hone my axe heads and hatchet & tomahawk blades.

[@Modrealtor]

Great advise on how to sharpen. I learned something about counting strokes to each side. Thanks

[@TheresaJenkins11]

I've sharpened knives before but never an axe so I learned something new by watching this video ...

[@lizstallings7761]

Love the How To Video. Now I know why I haven't been very successful in sharpening my old hatchet and will be looking for the puck style sharpener at some of my local stores.

[@KNFX787]

I love the fact that the SCAXE2L comes with the sharpening stone. Way to go Schrade for showing those other manufacturers the proper way to treat a customer. I use my flat 2 sided oil stone to sharpen everything I own, I have never used a puck to sharpen anything. Now I am going to have to get one lol.

[@sixmtube4233]

Awesome tip, I've been using a rectangular flat stone laid flat on a surface all these years. I will try these technique with a puck.

[@MrDeviantsoul]

Awesome video! Glad the new handle holds up in cold weather! PREPPER PERFECT!

[@sandybowling2468]

That is so totally awesome I need something like this for camping and down at the fire pit! Thanks for the opportunity!! Schrade is the best

[@beejee77]

I love that it was very easy to follow...it appears that I've been a ditz and have been doing some things wrong.....nice to know that now...thanks

[@dansparkman3039]

I'm definitely adding this to my arsenal. Would love to add the axe as well. It looks pretty awesome

[@chkmcgraw]

Very nicely done. Like the description makes it easy to follow. nice to have a set where the puck is included with the axe or hatchet

[@leongrimes7473]

The SCAXE2L is just beautiful!

[@johnsteiner2834]

I've had the "puck" before but really didn't know how to use it properly. Now I do. Thanks for the info. I hope I win the axe so I can put it to good use. Thanks again.

[@kssgcasper797]

Great little video, like how you include a "puck" with the scaxe2l, I've never used one and instead typically just use a file for sharpening the edge of my axes in the field and a fine grinder and stone to reedge or retouch at the house.

[@kelleyroach4236]

his was a great, simple tutorial on necessary blade edge maintenance in the field. I found it to be very useful and highly informative

[@sissygirl0722]

Love the how-to. It's important to know how to take care of your equipment. Love the SCAXE2L, quality workmanship and an all around great tool to have!

[@stevesmith6343]

Yet another one of your fine products that I have added to my must have list.

[@wadepage7809]

Great medium size field Axe! Great sharpening tips and easy to understand for beginners.

[@mikono14]

I want one of those bad and the video is great i would have never thought about using a lubricant when sharpening.you learn something new everyday thanks.

[@marleneboyd2150]

Most instruction video I've seen. Going to show my grandson.

[@TheSwbull]

I like the size and look of the SCHRADE SCAXE2L and could sure use it. The sharpening tips w/ the Puck Sharpening Stone were very informative and useful also. Thanks for the info and chance!

[@shouse7]

It's good to see how to use the puck appropriately. Thank you! And thank you for the great products you make!

[@brentstewart4360]

another great video - and it is perfect that the axe comes with the puck! Thanks.

[@monniefox6410]

look pretty sturdy. i'd love to have it--thank you Schrade for a chance

[@HappyDeliveryGuy]

Very helpful and easy to remember the process. Thanks for doing these videos. We are going camping this week and am going to practice batoning I learned last video.

[@1957Stratman]

Excellent 'how - to' video! You can explain how to do this to someone, and maybe they get it, but if they watch it being done, and then copy what they saw, chances are much better that they'll get it right. I could definitely use one of these stones...

[@walterfoster6414]

I love, your word lol, the great tips on how to sharpen using the puck. But then you are always providing excellent advice as well as excellent tools. Please keep up the great work.

[@gregorykavka3531]

Great video. I have been eyeballing the Scaxe2 for a while and love the instruction.

[@bobpaxton9786]

This looks like a great hatchet! The sharpening tips should be very helpful.

[@cheryllarimer8816]

Sweet SCAXE2L - great to get expert tips to keep it in perfect condition.

[@lovelifearmy1]

I love this axe and now I have a better understanding on how to proper handle of the sharpening of an axe

[@markwalker9049]

Very cool. I've never tried a puck but heard good things. Great axe too

[@TheSnead8183]

Thanks for the sharpening tip. The hatchet looks awesome!

[@beckysmyth8743]

Great demo on how to sharpen with a puck. I have never used one.

[@cjjm7509]

i always wanted a hatchet/axe and the SCAXE2L looks like the one i need/want. As for the video how-to it is a very good tool since it shows you how to properly take care & use the hatchet without injuring yourself or someone else.

[@LarsRibe]

Cool! VERY nice, that the Scaxe comes with a puck..best choise for axe and hatchet.

[@JL-iz3eg]

awesome axe and the tips are great to have. I always carry a small metal file along as well just for those really badly damaged blades. makes it a little easier and faster to sharpen.

[@eloyo79]

Nice, I'm glad I watched this video. I probably would have tried to use a chef tool to sharpen my bigger blades; Excellent presentation over all Schrade! Thanks!

[@tyrenolds0123]

I love the way I can learn new skill sets that have never learned properly

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Another simple but useful tip from Schrade.

[@briargoatkilla]

Excellent instructions. I use a four inch dual sided flat stone but I do it the exact same way. I toss the stone in a creek or my canteen cup first so it gets really saturated with water. Makes that good polishing slurry when you do that.

[@MartyBugg]

Thanks for the videos, they're helpful. I've never owned a puck and have used a bench grinder. This would be helpful for quick touch ups or when away from home and power source. Time for me to get a puck.

[@joeysimmonds2518]

That is awesome. I love that axe. I would normally sharpen an axe with a grinder. Not if I had a puck. Needed that for our last camping trip.

[@hunterws]

The SCAXE2L looks tougher than any wood handle I've ever used. Very nice.

[@lyndseywilliams7775]

Thanks for doing these videos. The more I learn to do myself the better!

[@KathyLane1960]

Thanks for the useful information on sharpening a hatchet!I love this SCAXE2L hatchet and puck!This hatchet would be awesome to take with me camping to help with getting wood for campfires,and to carry on my 4 wheeler in case there is tree limbs that have fallen on the trail.

[@eryngarcia9040]

I LOVE that the axe comes with the puck. We'd actually take that with us. Gloves should be mandatory, but so many of us just skip ahead to save 15 seconds. Sadly, it only takes about .15 seconds to mangle your hand if you slip. I also love how sturdy that hatchet's handle has to be.

[@gavery58]

Wow ! I've been doing it right all these years . That's a first . Great tip guys .

[@MCM_Savage]

Just purchased this axe and stone. Nice axe. Feels great in the hand. The material of the handle seems to meld into my grip. I really like it. Now... To sharpen it correctly. 💯 Thank you for this video. I know how to sharpen a knife and a sword... This is a little different. Never used a puck before either. Gloves!! Must have gloves. ☝️❤️

[@DeadlyDustBunni]

Thank you for this. The video is clear, concise and to the point with straightforward guidance and visual aid. Much appreciated! 👍

[@IgorStrelnikov]

Very clear lesson. I would be owner such axe with pleasure if won. Schrade Quick Tips video very useful. Thank you!

[@aplusmhs]

Good stuff! Being somewhat of a "beginner", this is great to learn the products, and how to use!!

[@eloracorne9760]

very informative, i like that its easy to follow/ understand.keeping track of the same number of circles while sharpening each side is very good to know and to keep the puck moist to sustain its 'life' is also a great tip.hope to win this is a great sustainable axe that can be very handy and looks to be plenty useful for a long time.

[@pamedens31]

I always wondered why my papaw spot on his sharping stone. I really learned how to hold my stone better from this video. Thanx Schrade!!

[@seanely77]

Great video. We have.a puck at work, but I never knew tou can sharpen an axe in circles. Great info. I needed to watch this video. Ill be watching more. Thanks for the info and gaw! By the way, I need that axe!

[@MyWorldInDisorder]

Very informative. I've had the SCAXE2L on my wishlist for some time. If I don't win it I hope someone gets it for me for my birthday! It looks like the perfect tool for outdoors use!

[@hwhitaker93]

I love the tips on sharpening. My next Schrade purchase is definitely going to be this axe :-)

[@richwash64]

Videos are great and very informative. Concise and give you the pertinent info you need.

[@HeathStevens]

Great videos. Clear and concise and to the point. I love how in depth the videos are. Clan Lucky Strike

[@kennewhitson4596]

And now I know how to sharpen an axe. Info win this package I promise to always keep it sharp!

[@TheLake1963]

i just LOVE this axe. looks to be lightweight yet sturdy. sharing again :)

[@derecklockwood8633]

I really really hope I am one of the 3 winners announced on this one :-) I wanted a Schrade hatchet since I 1st saw one :-) I love the how to videos, but I think I prefer the videos showing the product in detail for those of us who can't see them in person and have to purchase online. Don't get me wrong, the how-to videos I very informative and done very well

[@tesla3pb]

Great teaching video. Everything I have heard about the new axe is awesome and would love to have one.

[@slinkee220]

This is an awesome axe, the round sharpening stone might take some gettin used to but I like the idea. Thanks for the opportunity Schrade.

[@doctorwork]

This hand ax (it's not really a hatchet since it doesn't have a hammer head on the back) looks nice and sturdy. I'd love to win one! I like how the video goes into a lot of detail about the sharpening process for any newbies out there, but even more experienced people can get something out of it.

[@johannesalexandrius5749]

great tip. Thanks schrade. I love the way the Puck stone is shaped, unlike my carborundum stone. Your Puck takes lesser space than my stone which is rectangular in shape. It is because of this shape that my stone broke into half. Also, my appreciation for recommending a clockwise motion when sharpening the axe. I don't know how effective this will be if I use your recommendation because I use to sharpen my axe in a counter-clockwise fashion. It works just fine. But I will give your recommendation a try. When I was just starting to learn how to sharpen an ax, I use to grind the stone in a vertical motion, grinding against the axe blade while it is pointed up, holding the handle against my body. But I heard that I is more easier to sharpen an axe in a circular motion, and that is how I sharpen my axe now

[@wastingo2775]

looks very durable and would be perfect for camping also very good sharpening tuturial

[@darrenstokes9350]

Looks like a tool I could use. Thanks for the tips on sharpening.

[@cathycaudill7177]

I really would love the axe and it coming with a puck is a huge plus for me

[@shellyrboyd]

I think this Schrade axe can help me clear a trail across the mountain, but this axe could help clear a spot for a small cabin out here, too... and now I know how to take the best care of it!
