Fatcatsplat Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hultafors are lovely for camping/bushcraft - Really hold an edge and reasonably light, but tough and very well made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBeaky Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Put the wet & dry on the mouse mat and use it as a cushioned strop on the edge - lay the blade almost flat and draw the edge across the mat. This will also develop a slightly convex edge, which lasts longer without being any less bite-y. This method keeps the felling edge of my double-bit at the "shave hairs off your arm" level.
