    Yet another Sears rant

    Are Craftsman U.S. made? if not why buy them? buy your superb Snap-On Armstrong,Proto, Blue Point. You used to have over 50 Spanner[wrench] makers alone and not that long ago. Chinese looks nice, breaks nice too.

    ax and hachet

    I think the axemen here in Australia use an oil stone but the old stone wheel to start the sharpening process they use water not oil. You could contact the Australian axemens page.
