A sharp blade is essential for cutting tools in the garden. A whetstone is used to regularly sharpen—also known as honing—scythes, sickles, brush hooks, hoes, etc. The horn sheath is filled with water, and the whetstone is soaked in it. The sharpening set can be conveniently carried on your belt while you work. The traditional manual method has remained unchanged for generations.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003emade from cow horn \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe water reduces frictional heat during sharpening \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConveniently attaches to your belt \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProven over generations \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003eA traditional type of horn sheath is made from horn in the shape of a quiver. Our horn sheath is \u003cstrong\u003emade from genuine Upper Austrian cow horn\u003c\/strong\u003e. When sharpening a blade, it is important to generate as little frictional heat as possible. Dry sharpening would undesirably harden the steel and make it brittle. To prevent this, the \u003cstrong\u003ehorn sheath is filled with water\u003c\/strong\u003e, the whetstone is carried in it and kept damp at all times.
