No this was rushed, just throwing the edge on it to put teeth on it so I can split a half dozen logs while camping for 1 night. It was not put through any rigors that would be identified as sharpening OR honing by a sensible person. It just came out of storage, not my regular use axe, and was a cheap(semi disposable, as much as I hate the word) hatchet. Not even an actual axe, surely not coping down a tree with it. I probably have 100 pounds more of stone, a lot more knowledge to weild both blade and stone now as well so that also changes things a little as well.Profiled on a wheel? You mean an axe with a concave grind? I thought the edge is supposed to be convex on an axe? Or is it concave on the main body and then convex at the edge?
