Can this be used to sharpen an axe blade?

Perhaps if it was a very small ax blade like a hatchet. But probably not a full ax like a single bit lumber ax.

I do not know, because I don't own those type of knives. However, the instructions indicate that this sharpen can be used to sharpen this type of knife.

While I have not needed yet to replace the blade, as one can sharpen the old blade, the link through Amazon I found is Clearing Axe - REPLACEMENT BLADE . Another web link related to the manufacturer is http://www.bahco.com/english/ .

Yes you can. I never have, but I know Amazon sells a sharpener for it. I think it's cheaper just to replace the blade then buy a sharpener though. So unless you plan on using it a whole lot.......

No, not unless you have a special sharpener that is made for that type of bade.

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.

see if you can download the user manual, as it shows you EVERYTHING you can sharpen. To answer your question though, yes.

Yes, I do. I originally bought this to sharpen some of the Henckel knives I have, but used it on others that were not as expensive and it worked great!

You can if you are using a water stone. There are several types of sharpening stones; some require oil, some water, some nothing at all.

Yes but to make sharper .. YouTube a video on how.. as simple as raising the blade closer to the edge

Not for sharpening saw blades at all. You can only sharpen straight blades well. The sharpening tool for the serrated edged of a blade (round part)only does a fair job as a touch up sharpening tool. CRAB

Yes, I have sharpened a 3-1/2 inch bladed knife on mine and it worked great. The one issue I can see is that if the knife is too small then you run the risk of scrapping your hand on the stone.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

Yes..just make sure you angle it right Its hard to sharpen the whole scissor blade

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

Yes, but there are better options. Sharpening stones are usually rectangular. You place the stone on a workbench or similar surface, and glide the knife over it. That's a bit harder to do with a tool that has a 36" handle, so this sharpener was designed to be held in the hand & glided across the axe blade that you are holding in your other hand.

Yes. I have 2 Ka-Bars and I have used this to field sharpen them. I have even removed nicks on the blade. When I get back home, I can then use my Diamond Rods to get a fine razor sharp edge. Be gentle with it though because it does remove more steel than the diamond rod which is how it can erase a nick.
