It belonged to my great great grandfather He was a ship carpenter and left my dad with a great cheat of really cool tools for woodworking. I plan on restoring the handle somehow.

It is my first axe and I do plan on buying another larger model soon. I see grinding stones from $8.00 to $50.00. Can someone recommend a grinding stone?

I have not used one but I have heard good things about the Lansky Puck and it is far less expensive than a Gransfors Bruks stone. I used to use a Norton but currently, I use a Worksharp. JYD #182
