restoring a axe that chopped something it should not have. almost have the chips gone but not sure what i am doing when it comes to a axe edge. here in florida i use a machete for most things and if something bigger is needed out comes the chain saw.
used a marker to along the shoulder of the edge and made some passes with the file. would like a good chopping edge but do not want it to be fragile. also do not know what to do at the ends of the edge.
am i doing something wrong or keep going till sharp?
