Good cause my machete need sharpening to

I touch mine gently and quickly with the grinder (fine wheel)
in one pass as the metal is soft-ish. Doesn't seem to
need it more than once or twice a year for me.
What is a good thing also is keeping the sides clean to
reduce frictional loss during the split. (WD-40)

I like to give it a few passes with a file. Doesn't really need more than that but sometimes I'll use a soapstone but the file is what does the trick.

A flat file works. Using an angle grinder is definitely very risky, you dont want to overheat the metal. I have very old wet grinding wheel for cleaning up really worn out edges. Works great, the stone runs through a trough filled with water.

 

[TreePointer]

Flat file.

I use a flat file to smooth out the rough edges keeping mind of the angle and then some passes through the Fiskars axe sharpener till it splits a hair....lol. Ok the last part about the hair I made up. [emoji23]

I have the fiskars sharpener but I prefer a flat file.

 

[HisTreeNut]

I just lightly file the blade as needed. So far it has needed some honing here & there.

 

[redyute]

Picked up the sharpener, did a really good job on the machete, haven't tried it out on the axe yet but i think it will do good based on how it did on the machete

flat file mostly, dremel every so often when I'm in the mood.

 

[CentralVAWoodHeat]

Single mill flat file and then finish with a sharpening stone.

 

[Tar12]

Flat file here as well.

 

[BoiledOver]

These are handy for any edge that needs maintenance and easy to keep handy with your other processing tools, in your pocket, or in your vehicle. Perfect for the Fiskars.

i use a flat file most of the time, but if i really need to bring it back, i use a coarse stone, a fine stone, and extra fine stone...

I love using a stone. It comes from living in a machine shop.

Plus, I can sharpen it while I watch TV in the living room and glare at my wife while whispering "soon....soon".
