The Trento #3 is a good size to start with manual and forestry work of all kinds with an axe, neither too small nor too big with a head weighing around 900-950g, it's is an excellent choice for learning about felling, pruning, limbing and squaring trunks (hewing) the old-fashioned way.
Like the other members of the Trento family, it is very versatile and has a wide, rounded edge. Its flared shape gives it a battle axe look.

This wide carpenter's stone measures 160 x 80 mm (6.3'' x 3.15'') is designed for large bevel tools like wood chisels and slicks, but also works great for knives, machetes and other sharp tools.
This small slurry stone which measures 40 x 40 mm (1.5'' x 1.5'') is particularly useful for bringing out the dye (slurry) of another larger blue Coticule. You simply have to rub it circularly on the other stone and the mud will form in no time.
