Gransfors Axe Stone

[Mass. Wine Guy]

Is the Gransfors Axe Stone a good product? It sure looks pretty good? Has anyone used this?

Thanks.

On the farm we always used a whetstone that we cranked by hand but now I just use an axe file.

Just how old are you by the lawn mower i would say 50 but by the the stone turning i would say 100!

More than 50, less than 100. I fail to see where a lawnmower factors in the guesstimate.

This is just to move the thread up (because I'm interested too)......

So has anyone got comments on the Gransfors axe stone?

I have one; the stone itself is good enough, though to be fair lots of folks make decent stones. What makes the Gransfors better than most is the rubber case - it's easier to hold and manipulate than any bare stone I've ever used. It also keeps the stone from getting knicked up or - worse - broken.

Like most of their stuff, it shows intelligent design by folks who actually use it. I grumble every time I pay the Gransfors Tariff, but I'm never disappointed with the product. Guess that's what the old saying "you get what you pay for" means?
