Chop on firm wooden block, and

An ak is not a hammer or a

is by far the best from the stand
point Of both safety and utility for
the average camper, The ak should
weight at least two pounds, and
under no consideration should the
handle be less than "a inches long.
Ordinarily a new AK will have
to be sharpened to give its best per

wet grindstone, not an emery
wheel Start the grind back two
or three inches from the cutting
edge making the grind semicircular

from the edge make a bevel down to

your ak on both sides you will
seldom, if ever, need to use a grind
stone again. You can keep it in
shape with flat file and a sharpen
ing stone.
When using the file never drag
it back over the ak. Push the file |
from the blade toward the back of |

before repeating your stroke.
Finally, to put a keen cutting

There is no quicker way to judge
an outdoorsman than by the way
he cares for and uses his ak. Here's
a check list prepared by Writer
Harold Rogers, so you can test your
self:
Keep your AK sharp. A dull ak
is dangerous as well as useless.
Keep the handle tight. An ak
with a loose head is as dangerous
as a loaded gun.
Make sure that brush, branches
or other obstacles are cleared away
before beginning to chop. Secure
a firm footing.
In cold weather warm you ak be-
fore beginning to chop.
