get a good qulity pocket gatco sharpener (they sell them at Cabelas)they will sharpen almost anything really well I use them to keep my knives razor sharp (you can alomst shave with my letherman)
How is it that we teach our scouts to always cut away from their body but when sharpening an ax they file towards the blade with their hands? Shouldn’t it be taught to get on the other side of the ax and file the same direction as the blade?
This is wrong you’re supposed to have the blade pointed away from you while doing this it says so in the boy scout handbook

files work faster than stones and if you ever have to cut out a stump sharpening with a stone will take forever
it really isn’t that easy

If you try and sharpen ‘with the blade’ you will likely round over the edge – always sharpen against the edge.
i disagree i’ve sharpened my tomahawk with the blade a ton and never had a single problem with it exept now it’s razor sharp and thats a advantage
There should be a guard ion the file to protect the hand.
