	Rock Climbing.com View topic - Adze filing...why???...how???
		I don’t usually use the Adz on my Rages but I heard that some climbers file the adze for various reasons (that I don’t know)can u tell how is it done and whyI just don’t see it
		I filed the shop corners off my adzes on my technical axes so when I do take an adze to the face it does a little more or less damage depending on if sharp pointy would have meant a cleaner cut then the blunt edge I filed down to.
		Either way you definitely will remember the adze is pretty dangerous when a tool pops in your face.
