Don't buff that head
Clean it up with decent files and stones
Keep the angles clean and sharp
For a camp axe you don't want it to be pathologically sharp !!

Thanks I’ll give them a bell.

Why shouldn’t I buff the head up? I’ll have to dig around to find some files. I do have some somewhere, they just don’t get used much
