Gränsfors Axe Diamond File with Leather CoverThe Gränsfors Axe Diamond File is a compact, reliable sharpening tool designed for maintaining axe edges in the workshop or out in the field. It features a straight diamond file with two working faces: a coarse side for reshaping and removing damage, and a finer side for refining and finishing the edge.The small wooden handle is thoughtfully shaped, slightly wider near the blade, so it sits comfortably in the hand and gives you good control while sharpening. The file is typically used with water to improve cutting action and reduce clogging, but it can also be used dry when needed.This diamond file has a 230-grit coarse side for faster material removal and a 400-grit fine side for smoothing and edge refinement. Like all Gränsfors sharpening tools, it’s built for practical use and long service life rather than quick fixes.Gränsfors Bruk offers three sharpening options — the Sharpening Stone, Diamond File, and Natural Whetstone. While they all serve a similar purpose, the differences come down to material, grit, and shape. Choosing between them is largely a matter of personal preference and sharpening style.A vegetable-tanned leather sheath is included to protect the file and keep it safely stored in your pack or tool roll.Key FeaturesDual-sided diamond file230 grit (coarse side) and 400 grit (fine side)Wooden handle with ergonomic gripCan be used with water or dryIncludes vegetable-tanned leather sheathSpecificationsSKU: 4032Grit: 230 (coarse), 400 (fine)Weight: 74 gSheath: Vegetable-tanned leatherA solid choice for anyone who wants precise, controlled axe sharpening in a compact, durable tool.ABOUT GRANSFORS BRUKFor more than 100 years, Gränsfors Bruk has built up a business around the production of hand-forged axes and axe knowledge. With a main focus on quality and environmental responsibility.AXE MODELSWe are often asked about what type of axe to choose. When selecting your axe, it becomes crucial to determine its intended purpose. Are you planning to use it for chopping wood in the forest or constructing a log house? The main difference between axes is the edge. Most commonly, the edge faces the direction of travel, parallel with the handle. There are also axes where the edge is perpendicular, although these are less common. Examples include Gränsfors Bruk’s Straight Adzes and Gutter Adzes.A typical chopper is Gränsfors Bruk’s Splitting Axe, which has quite a thin edge but a much broader and thicker poll. This helps to split the wood apart. A prime example of a carving axe is Gränsfors Bruk’s Carpenter’s Axe. This has a long, thin and straight edge with a straight, pointed bevel face and a narrower poll, which makes it perfect for carving. The Carpenter’s Axe is not suitable for heavier work such as tree felling and log splitting. The pointed angle of the blade is not designed for that.In today’s world, people primarily use axes as tools, and they can be categorized into three main groups: Forest Axes, Splitting Axes, and Log-building Axes.Explore More with our Camping gear:Enhance your Camping experience by checking out our full range of Camping Gear.Visit our YouTube Channel:For in-depth insights and demonstrations, head over to our YouTube channel.
