The Best File Handle Ever (And It Costs $0)

Preorder PROhO Axe Care Kit - wranglerstarmerch.com/products/proho-axe-care-kit-preorder Yesterday I put a nasty nick in my forged broad axe — and before I start re-profiling the edge, I wanted to show you one of the most useful shop hacks I’ve learned over the years. The best file handle I’ve ever used isn’t store-bought. It’s a golf ball. In this video I show you how to turn a simple golf ball (or wooden sphere) into a round file handle that gives better control, better comfort, and better rotation than traditional handles. We cover: • Why traditional file handles aren’t ideal • How to size the drill bit properly • Installing a threaded insert for a tight fit • Why round handles improve control when filing • A simple setup that costs almost nothing If you sharpen axes, restore tools, or spend time filing steel in the shop, this is a small upgrade that makes a big difference. Next video we’ll re-profile the broad axe and bring that edge back to shaving sharp.
