[QUOTE="reefer, post: 579204, member: 775"] AAHHH!...Excuse my ignorance :lol: But there's obviously something I'm missing here!...Years ago...66 to 71 I was privilidged to work with the great...something, grandson of Ned Kelly's mother. His name was Paddy Quinn. He was once a sleeper cutter and he showed me his Adze one time and what a beautiful tool it was. It was also...ridiculously sharp! He maintained the blade with a small..(10 INCH) [u]flat[/u] file...followed up with oil on a fine honing stone.So my question is...what is the advantage of what appears to me to be a (round) File...and have I been doing it the wrong way for over half a century! :8 [/QUOTE]
