How To Choose Your Racing Axe Head Grind And Size
At Engineered For Axemen, we’re often asked about the different types of axes as our customers try to find the right axe for their needs. When choosing an axe, it’s important to have a clear idea of its intended purpose. What kind of wood are you chopping? Are you using it in competition? As one of mankind’s oldest tools, it’s only natural that axes come in all shapes and sizes. The team at Engineered For Axemen is here to help you narrow it down by showing you how to choose your racing axe head grind and size.
The three accessories every competitive axeman and woman needs
Most axemen and women spend their time and money selecting the perfect racing axe, but it’s crucial to pay just as much care and attention when choosing accessories. Here are our top three must-have accessories for all competition axemen and women.
- Competition racing axe sharpening jig. A custom jig and stones allow you to edge or maintain the edge on your axe easily. The Engineered For Axemen team have designed this jig using Japanese diamond plates and stones, so you get a brilliant edge every time. This set consists of two aluminium blocks with two sharpening surfaces on each block. The CNC machined thread in both ends of the block means the guide rod is perfectly aligned with the stone surface to give you a more accurate edge. The rod can also be moved to the other half of the stone when needed, giving you more life out of each surface.
- Competition plates and stones.Most of the stones that wood choppers currently use are no longer manufactured and are also extremely expensive. When it comes to modern competition racing axe sharpeners, you can’t do better than Japanese diamond stones. Diamond sheets are brilliant for competition axes, as they’re easy to replace. They fit perfectly in your hand, making it easy for you to give your axe the perfect edge.
- Leather axe cover. Our high-quality Australian leather covers are designed by Kenny Olney and feature a beautiful thick felt layer to protect the edge. They’re double stitched with a great-length strap to wrap around the handle twice and come in three sizes; small, medium, and large.
