I found this stone in my late grandpa’s things. I can’t find a tutorial on how to use it safely. Any ideas?

Don’t need a tutorial, really.

Those are for axes and hatchets. You just use them either along the edge, or from back to front, depending on your preferences. Neither method is going to be dangerous as long as you don’t get in a hurry

You wouldn’t use one of these to do proper sharpening, where you’d be maintaining the angle. It’s just a field tool to keep things working well. I mean, you can do proper sharpening with one, it would just be slower and more annoying than a bench stone.

Thank you! I’ll make sure not to get carried away.
