1844 Helko Werk Germany Dual Sided Axe Sharpening File - Axe Sharpener Metal File single-cut and cross-cut hand file (Compact File #22101)

This is, by far, the best file I’ve ever owned. I purchased it for its intended purpose (axe sharpening), but discovered it works well for more delicate tasks because it has a safe edge. This file will last a lifetime but I’m purchasing a second (just in case).

Perfect size, packs well into any tool bag or belt, and does what it's supposed to. Good quality, will buy again!

Excellent quality, craftsmanship, and worked like a charm to sharpen a shovel. Well worth the money!

This file sharpens better than any wet stone

Excellent coarse and fine file set used in the field to keep my cutting tools sharp. Finish file tunes axe edges quickly. Coarse file can reshape blade edges or remove dings and burrs. Both file handles feel a little sharp in the hand, so I wear leather gloves when using. Files clean easily with a standard steel file card or small wire brush. Very happy with this set.

Prompt shipping. Items are exactly as described and immediately went to work upon arrival. Performed flawlessly and had my hatchet back to razor sharp in no time. Field sized version will be a constant in my outdoor pack setup. Quality tools that will last generations.

This a very nice file. Well made and a little smaller than a full sized file making easier for being along in a backpack or using in tighter areas. I bought it for planing and sharpening an un sharpened hachette I had. The double grit side made quick work of the planning and the single grit side sharpened it right up. Very pleased with the size and quality of the file I highly recommend it.

This is by far the best file I've found for sharpening very hard steels. I bought it specifically for sharpening some Fiskar axes and hatchets I have and it worked wonderfully on them.

bought to reprofile some Husqvarna axes. Have a Nicholson file which skates across the edge without removing any material. Just did 4 axes and hatchets in about an hour. Used the rag trick and the file bites. All are now just less than paper shaving sharp but can make feather sticks and precise bushcraft cuts. good file.

It’s really strong 💪 and well made sharpens my axe 🪓 and knife 🔪 fast so I am happy thanks 😊

File doesnt come in any sort of box so it was pretty beat up already when i got it. Also not very impressed with the over all finish of the file. In short, it looks cheap. I had an axe on order from these guys but actually cancelled the order because I was worried the axe would show up looking like the file.
