Sharpening Stones for Axes, Adzes, Edge Tools

A selection of useful edge tool sharpeners. The Gransfors Bruks axe stone is very popular as it is a very compact, relatively lightweight option. Also consider the ultra fine arkansas stone which gives a very keen finishing edge. This stone is popluar with competition log cutters who need their edges to be razor sharp.
If you axe edge is slightly dulled then a diamond stone will restore a cutting edge quickly but these are not finishing stones.
