Smith's 50582 Axe & Machete Sharpener, Standard, Yellow

Product Information

ABOUT US – Smith’s is dedicated and constantly strives to improve the methods for providing consumers with the best edge. Apply moderate downward pressure and pull the sharpener over the cutting edge from one end to the other. Maybe you’re someone who does a lot of yard work, or a humble friar looking for purpose in the deserts of Mexico. For these tasks, we recommend using a heavy machete sharpener designed to remove significant amounts of metal. Though there are many options for sharpening a machete, we have found that the simplest and most effective method is by using a Lansky Sharpening Puck.

It has a durable, plastic head, soft-grip handle and an oversized finger guard for safe and secure sharpening at all times.From simple fixed pull-through sharpeners to sophisticated Precisions Kits in a wide range of materials including manual and electrical options, you are sure to find what you need. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . When you turn the blade over, check for burrs (thin projections of metal created during the grinding process). For people experienced in sharpening blades, a grinding wheel can be useful for removing the initial bluntness of the machete.

Next, take the puck in your dominant hand and place it on the edge of the machete starting at the part closest to your body. The burr can be on either side, and develops on the opposite side of the blade from where you are sharpening. After almost two hours, I still see lots of scrapes on the blade from use though it will kind of cut paper now.For chisel grinds you’ll want to just sharpen the ground side and knock off any burr that forms on the back of the blade. For oversized/irregular packages (gun safes, gun slips, shooting sticks, etc) we use ParcelForce and different charges apply. While maintaining the edge angle, use smooth, circular motions while moving the puck along the edge until you reach the tip of the machete.

Any suggestions where to find a medium grit hand held sharpener for it will be GREATLY appreciated, thank you! Belt sanders with some give in the belt work best, as the machete can be given a convex utility edge in the belly of the belt. To remove brush, press on end of brush closest to sharpening head to raise opposite end, then grasp handle and remove from cavity. Your age check will be completed during checkout using your bank-verified information through OneID. If you’re looking for a simple way to sharpen and maintain your machete, this process will get the job done.Grinding wheels will aggressively sharpen the blade, and are a good option only for initial sharpening, removing large nicks, or restoring rusty and worn machetes.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Every aspect of the item/garment must be free from signs of wear and odour and must be in re-sellable condition. The first time you sharpen a ground edge with this sharpener or if you are sharpening a damaged edge, repeat this action approximately 15 – 20 pulls.

Smith does not have medium grit blades for it and I cannot find a similar sharpener with a medium grit. If you are using your machete mainly to cut grass or non-woody vegetation, small sharpening angles of 20-25 degrees work best, as razor-sharpness is necessary, and there is little risk of chipping the fine edge.
