Axe Care for the Modern Forager

Foraging for food is all fun and games until you get your hands on a nice, sharp axe. But have you ever stopped to think about the axe's well-being?

Here are some axe care tips for the modern forager:

1. Don't leave your axe in the rain. Your axe will get soggy.
2. Don't share your axe with your neighbor. They'll just try to chop down your garden fence.
3. Axes love regular oiling. Don't be a monster.
4. Don't use your axe as a plant stake. It just won't end well.

Axe Sharpening Tips

Sharpening your axe is the most important part of axe care. Here are some tips:

• Only sharpen your axe when the sun is out. Your axe will get confused otherwise.
• Sharpen your axe with love and care. Don't just hack away like a savage.
• Use a whetstone, not your kitchen knife sharpener. That's just not what it's for.
