NedFoss Axe/Hatchet Whetstone Sharpening Stone with Sheath, 180/600 Grit

What a product! I have purchased automatic diamond sharpeners and expensive manual sharpeners that utilize bars/v shape holding. These claim to be dummy proof. I have not had great results on tough steel. This simple thing however - i used for maybe 2 minutes and have a paper cutting edge on a knife I have never been able to sharpen. Very pleased. Will buy again. Note this is good for tough steel. Suggest a polishing stone for minor cleanup.

The item matches what they are selling and it came with a carrying case as well! I have never used one of these, so I watched a video on YouTube and worked out great.

this is handy for tuning up a tool and leaving a pretty sharp edge think of the low end of a knife edge but is efficient at removing material. the case protects the stone and your items from each other when not in use should last a lifetime.

There are several round pocket stones available around the same price point and I figured the biggest difference is grit and storage options. Certainly the strength of the stone matters, and this one seems quite solid, will update later if it seems to chip under normal use, but doesn't seem likely. This stone offered slightly more aggressive grit on the course side and slightly finer on the medium side, but at 150/320 they still don't seem far enough apart for it to be a problem between the two. I assumed the leather case would be something pretty cheap, maybe even throwaway -- but I was quite happily surprised to find the leather pouch was a very soft, supple, suede leather pouch that seems like it will look very nice and will protect the stone well against a fair amount of abuse. The stone also came wrapped in a felt cloth that protects the stone from rubbing against the leather, which I think is a really nice touch. I was also a bit worried about using the round stone in general, but I found it pretty intuitive to get the hang of and had things sharpened in no time.

Works fast to restore a great edge and smooth bevel.

lightweight and easy to carry. i use them on 3 axes

I ordered this puck after wearing the edge down on a Gransfors Bruks axe and found it to be very effective in reestablishing an edge in short order. The medium grit side was all that was required to clean the blade up after removing a considerable amount of brush that had grown up in a chain link fence. The puck is ergonomic and I much prefer it to a file for touching up an axe blade. I also expect that the belt pouch will be convenient for full wood-cutting days.

Got my hatchet literally razor sharp with this. Not that you need to have your hatchet quite that sharp. But however sharp you want it, you can make it happen with this stone. Easy to use, great result, the pouch is good too.

Handy pouch

You get a solid amount of abrasive. There is a chip on one side and a crack on the other, but buyers should temper their expectations with how little they are paying. Can't really complain for the price. Perfect for bringing those rusty old beaters back to something that resembles an edge.

Zwar etwas teuerer aber sehr schöner Wetzstein, passend zum NedFoss Beil.

Great for dull items

Good little sharpener. Comes with case and a cloth to wrap it in
