Will this work to sharpen an axe blade or is it primarily for knives?

The edge angle of an axe is greater (25-28 degrees) than the angle for knives (19-22). Although the carbide steel would do the job, the axe would lose its edge quickly. The diamond hone could work for the axe but would be a very long process. This sharpener is primarily for knives.

This sharpener is primarily used for knives. I do not believe the space is large enough to accommodate an ax blade.

This sharpener is for knives, would not really be feasible to use on an ax blade.

I would say it is possible but dependent on the size and shape of the bit and head of the axe you have to sharpen. This sharpeners primary intended design appears to me for putting a quick edge on typical knives. I have been very satisfied with the purchase of this product for that purpose.

I bought this mostly to sharpen my ax, however I did use it on my cheapo machete. It works fine, but being as small as it is, it scares me because there is no way to protect your hand if you slip off the edge. Wear a good pair of leather work gloves if you try.

It doesnt sharpen, it just brings the blade bach to its "true" so the blade will be sharper than it was but if your knives need sharpening the stone is best.

This jig is not suitable for sharpening knives, it's for sharpening chisels, planer blades and such.

Yes, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.

No, it is good to keep your kitchen knives sharp but to small for machetes and axes. I wanted it for skinning knives because I don't like to take the time to sharpen a knife with a wet stone. It won't get a spinner sharp enough. I did see on sharpener advertised for what you want on Amazon however.

Hi, it's one sided and it's not used for sharpening blades. Main is to keep the sharpening stone flat

It has a suction cup base, you could mount it on your counter nearby and swipe it once or twice as needed, it definitely will sharpen them. It will shave a small amount of steel off each time.

I would advise against it. It is not designed for swords. Small to medium size folding knives and/or fixed blades, this sharpener works well.

The slots would probably be too narrow for axes , but machetes should work fine. I have found that although it scratched my knife blades the Furi Rachael Ray Ozitech Diamond Fingers Pro Knife Sharpener works great on axes. It should be fine for machetes too.

I have used the sharpener for a variety of kitchen knives and it seemed to do the job. I think--especially for the price--it would work for pocket and hunting knives.

I personally use a simple hand sharpener for garden tools to keep a good edge that isn't so thin it curls up when used. But I recommend to keep in mind this is a survival tool and anything hard enough to wear away tool steel will work.

I use it for sharpening only. I hone blades on a stone. This is not diamond coated.

It might work, but you will be sharpening it often. It does come with a sharpening stone.

Probably not your best sharpener for a large blade. Works great with small knifes and blades.

No, unfortunetly. It will work on anything with a straight blade (hand pruners, pruning shears, old fashioned hand hedge trimmers, and even a knife) but it is not intended to sharpen anything with a serrated edge (example-any sort of saw with teeth)
