Frequently Asked Questions About Elk Ridge Axe Brown
- Q: How do I sharpen an axe?
Use a mill bastard file or a coarse diamond stone to restore the bevel, followed by a fine whetstone to polish the edge. Maintain the factory bevel angle for best results. - Q: How do I maintain the handle?
For wood handles, apply linseed oil periodically to prevent drying and cracking. Check the handle-head connection before each use and re-wedge if loose. - Q: Is this axe suitable for throwing?
Unless specifically listed as a throwing axe, our axes are designed for chopping and cutting use. Throwing axes have specific balance and construction requirements.
