Gränsfors Bruk Diamond Axe File

Good quality, performs well,very satisfied.

Great size and does wonders for honing an edge. Love it!

Puts a nice edge on the axe

The Diamond Axe File is a top notch sharpening tool. Don't let its diminutive size fool you! At approx. 6 inches it is easy to carry for field expedient sharpening of your GB axes or hatchets yet its handle is just the right length to grip and maneuver the file at the correct angle for touch ups and sharpening of a dulled edge.

I have not used it to sharpen an edge which has been chipped or significantly dulled from abuse. In my opinion that is where a GB Axe File would be used first to re-profile the edge then the Diamond file to finish.

I have also used mine to sharpen my custom knives in the field. Most of my knives are made of S30V steel and have a Scandi Grind. They see very heavy use throughout hunting season. For example, I just finished re-sharpening my Charlie May Slitter after it gutted, skinned and butchered a cow elk. The GB Diamond Axe File quickly returned it to razor sharpness.

I highly recommend anyone considering purchasing a field expedient sharpening tool to grab one of these files! You won't regret your purchase.
