Using a double cut file as you did makes a horrible mess out of any axe and creates a ton more work later trying to fix the roughness. As for not using water on a stone, the water helps keep the stone clean and makes them last a lot longer as well as working much faster than a dry stone.

You should sharp it with machine then gonna work perfectly well m8

Woodcraft hamster I finds a worn sanding disc in angle grinder does fantastic job then I uses a diamond sharpener but where's you gets ya smurf poop I uses flexcut block its yellow and bit small yours is bigger 💪🐺🐾👌

Unfortunately this company has almost NO quality control. We sell these at my place of employment, recently I have seen a few of their products that seemed like decently made items fail miserably. The steel is very bad, the blade was so soft I had no trouble filing it and when I attempted to fix a slight bend in a blade it snapped. The other blades had cracks in the steel that should’ve caught by any decent quality control, yet weren’t. The plastic in the handle also broke after ONE swing. This was sold as a tactical tomahawk, so that’s not good. This stuff is garbage, avoid it.
