I'd Sany its been quite a while since I shared that though I'd say maybe 6 minuts or so at least longer would not hurt. Their is an audible sound when you stroke the metal against it; a deeper sound is better.
For, as long as it takes to get totally saturated. The oil or water, acts in unison with the stone and blade.It works together with the stone,"synergistically", to carry the particles away from the item in question. Also, it is a part of the total process. It's like, having an egg in a frying pan, you absolutely need to have a lubricating oil to cover the surface area, so that it turns out correctly.You will understand it all, by the feel of the edge on the stone,or the stone on the edge of the blade.You will know, by the feel of the blade,at the exact angle.It will feel right, when you know the angle,it will sound and feel different than anything else, because when the two surfaces meet together and make contact with one another, it's unmistakable. Know the proper angle of the blade just like you know your fire for the frying pan,flame, gas or electric.Chopling, slicing or cutting. You must understand the angles of such because they all have a certain and exact way of working.You can't use an axe for slicing vegetables just like, you can't use a steak knife to chop logs for a cabin!🤷
Nope, it's called: a whet stone.You must know the correct angle and be consistant with keeping it at that particular level. An alternative method is, having your blade on a solid and stable surface and drawing the edge with the stone,file or diamond sharpener, that way you can see and keep the blade at the correct angle and at the consistant and proper degree!🤷
Summer is just around the corner I'm pretty excited about that
Thanks bro! I just bought a hatchet today and got the sharpening stone to go with it.
Straight forward and helpful. Appreciate it!
Great instructional video. Thank you!
Thank you that was very helpful!!
What is the name and make of the combination stone you are using in this video. Where can i get
They sell them at Ace Hardware and places like that. I got a set for $3.99. The dark side is 120 grit and the light side is 240 grit.
On TEMU, I got one for $5, the other day and it's a 2-sided puck, they usually go for about $12- $15!
Thanks man, this really helps
Can you store this long term in the fridge. Will it go bad?
in the fridge ? 😂
@Popcorx shiiit thank you bro wrong video 🤣🤣😭
Thankyou for making this vid!
if the stone is wet from water wont the axe rust?
if youre chopping wood... wood. has water in it. it will rust either way... it does not affect the sharpness boss
that was really helpful
Thanks G
how long do you saturate the stone?

Usually when it stops bubbling and is fully saturated 👍
is that water
Thanks this helped
Helpful Video 🙏
Whats the difference between the colored grain?
Different grain sizes it goes to 8000 grain level. But the one he is using is a 400 to get rid of chips in the metal
The course grain does most of the work until you have a burr and then you want the finer side of the stone (looks like 120) to finish it off.
What brand hatchet is that.
