You probably could but it would be a lot quicker just to use a grinder or even a file since an axe doesn't have to be such a clean edge.

Hey Jorge, if you are looking for a small sharpener to carry in your pocket to sharpen anything on the fly with then this is it, I've sharpened Axe"s, Hatchets, Knives and also fishing blades with this little gem... to answer your question YES.. it will sharpen just about anything, I would recommend putting the Machetes between your knee's with the handle hitting your stomach, then sharpen with a forward motion away from you, use course side first then the fine ceramic side.. also look at Smith's 50447 4-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone, it run's about $10.00, by using these two products together you will be able to just about sharpen anything to hold a good blade. Well I hope I was of some help with this product... :-)

Could cut down various sized tree. It is sharp. Depends upon the amount of physical force applied and angle used. Not designed as an axe but if given a choice I would choose this tool due to the multiple uses.

No. I use both a very small Stihl arborist chainsaw and a large Stihl Farm Boss with very different chains and it sharpens them both perfectly.

I have never used it to sharpen scalpels, etc but I do not see why not -- other than eventually wearing away the metal. The finishing triangular rods are very fine. The big advantage of the sharpener is that you gently pull the blade toward you with the blade straight up & down - so you don't have to try to guesstimate the proper degree angle. It's very effective and the mirror finish on the grind is obvious.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

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

It might be possible but really was not designed for that. Mostly used by wood workers to sharpen planer blades.

Its not a chopping axe its a hatchet. Hatchets are best suited to remove smaller dead branches and for splitting kinding. You can however use the hatchet with a hand sized log as a hammer to split larger pieces of wood. Search how to use a hatchet or hand axe on skill training on youtube to learn more.

These files are very small and it would take you a very long time to sharpen an axe unless the axe was a miniature.These files work with jewelry and very small wood projects.

This actually has a wheel. You can lift the top guide and remove the little wheel inside to clean. It works by rolling the knife end to end back and forth thru the wheels. Usually about 10 strokes and you have a very sharp edge on your knife. I have not used this for an ax, so I cannot say if it works well for it or not. Your knife fits between the grove on two wheels and it sharpens both sides at once. I have this sharpener and love it.

I have a Ka-Bar, but have not attempted to sharpen it with this sharpener. I believe that it will.

yes. i use it to sharpen axes and picks and it works fine. If you have a bunch blades to sharpen you will need extra battery.

We have never used it to sharpen our lawn mower blades. We only use it for knives. Sorry I could not be of more help

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 it on my personal x27 splitting axe with good results. The "V" notch in the plastic of this sharpener is plenty shallow to clear the additional thickness of the splitting axe with no issues. This sharpener will maintain an excellent edge and can repair minor dings. If you put a serious gouge in the edge of your axe, you may find it necessary to take a file or grinder to it... case by case basis...

Yes, It has a sharp edge and can double as an axe for that purpose. As a splitting maul, it has trouble with some cross grained Australian hardwoods, but is great for 90% of the wood I split....including most hardwoods.
