Care & Sharpening Stones

Care and sharpening stones – keep your knives and axes sharp

A knife or axe is never better than its edge. Whether you own an exclusive hunting knife or a rugged outdoor knife, the steel needs maintenance to perform at its best. We know that a sharp knife is not only more effective – it is also far safer to use. That is why we have put together a professional range of sharpening stones, honing steels and care products to keep your tools ready for the job.

Sharpening stones: from coarse grinding to a razor-sharp finish

To get the perfect edge, you need the right grit. We carry different types of sharpening tools for every need:

• Whetstones: The classic method for the serious enthusiast. Using water as a lubricant, you can achieve an extremely precise, sharp edge.

• Diamond sharpeners: Ideal for quick touch-ups in the field or for very hard steel. They are extremely durable and need minimal maintenance.

• Pocket sharpeners: Compact solutions that are indispensable in your backpack on a hunt or hike, so you can touch up the edge straight away.

Honing steels and leather strops

When the knife is already sharp but the edge needs "realigning", a honing steel or a leather strop is the right tool. Using a leather strop with polishing compound regularly removes the microscopic burrs on the steel, giving a mirror-polished, very sharp finish that glides effortlessly through everything from rope to game.

Care of steel and handle

Maintenance is not only about sharpness, but also about protection from the elements.

• Rust protection: Carbon steel knives in particular need a good oil to prevent corrosion and rust spots.

• Handle care: Wooden handles need oil to stop them drying out and cracking. We carry care products that penetrate deep into the material and bring out the natural glow of the wood.

• Cleaning: Effectively remove resin, blood and dirt without damaging the knife's temper or finish.
