Yes there is a sharpening stone. It is behind the rope on the sheath and it's loose.

I did not get a sharpening stone and I am not sure if there was supposed to be one included. If it was supposed to be included then I did not get one and that makes me sad.

The handle and blade are one piece. I would recommend removing the wrap on the handle and replacing it with something smoother.The cord that comes wrapped around it makes it very uncomfortable to hold. Put a sturdy lanyard on the end & you're ready to go.

Not that I am aware of but I would suggest checking Wusthof's website. It's not terribly rough. The term "sharpening steel" is a bit misleading. This product is intended to hone the blade not reshape/reform the bevel on the blade.

This is the best knife I have ever owned/used, and I own several sets of very expensive knives. I do not recall a sheath coming with this as I store mine in a block. I consider this to be one of the best purchases I have made.

Yes there is a spot a the top corner of the sheath where the blade can poke out. I have actually cut my self by the corner of the axe . I suppose you could use a needle and thread to close the gap. For the product being as fine as it is it would be worth the extra maintenance to me. Seriously this is the best axe /hatchet I've ever owned

What details? It's a work knife, not a vase. As far as getting loose, no it won't. It's made of a single piece. It's a great knife.

A bit disappointing that - mine came with a razor edge and has held it very well. There are lots of good sharpeners out there, and it's really whatever works for you. I have a old stone, which I use under a tap to keep it wet and stop clogging. Friends of mine swear by their Lansky kits, which I never got the hang of using.

Sorry Chris, but I think the manufacturer would have to explain this one. I know it is fine since to the touch it does not feel gritty like the more coarse stones, or my steel, but it does the job to align the blade back. Can't go wrong for the price.

Yes, it is a high quality sheath that really locks the knife in well. This is a GREAT knife at a reasonable price. I have bought more since and each one has been perfect. Please let me know if you need anything else. Rjensen813@aol.com. Good lick and enjoy!!

Just pull. It is a "friction" type sheath - perhaps yours is just tight, or maybe there's a bit of glue or something there. Be careful - it's sharp.

It is not, but the small thumb grip is very useful and isn't painful to use even after many times opening if the knife is in well condition.

No, the shape of the blade is wrong. You need a rod-shaped sharpener or a steel.

i dont have any issue with it can you see anything inside the sheath? or i suppose it could be a defect

I don't have that problem. Mine works fine. Remove the blade and see if anything is loose or a stone got in

No, but it is large enough you can safely hold the stone while sharpening the knife.

The one I have has a brown leather sheath with a snap near the guard and a loop cord that fits in the brass hole in the handle I loop around the tip to keep it secure. It is one of my favorite sheath knives by the way. I hope this helps.

Yes, but there are better options. Sharpening stones are usually rectangular. You place the stone on a workbench or similar surface, and glide the knife over it. That's a bit harder to do with a tool that has a 36" handle, so this sharpener was designed to be held in the hand & glided across the axe blade that you are holding in your other hand.
