Perhaps consider this to be part 2. Tomorrow I will try cutting some logs with it if its nice out.
I begin to refine and reprofile the edge of the Innovation Factory's Trucker's Friend axe blade with a steel file and some metal working sandpaper. I mounted the Trucker's Friend onto the handle of my garden cart with a new clamp that I got in Sears. The sandpaper is for auto body work that I got in Advanced Auto Parts, and is backed with emory cloth, which is far more rugged than standard sandpaper. The steel file is also from Sears. It was in a 3 pack of different files for $6.99.  Sandpaper was in a 6 pack of 3 different grits, 2 each, in Advanced for $6.99 also.  I got the Trucker's Friend on Amazon for $35 - $40, I forget. Its made in USA by Innovation Factory: www.innovationfactory.com
