Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a pick axe and a pick mattock?
A. A pick axe has a longer, thinner blade and is used to break up rocky soil or clean trenches, whereas a mattock has a shorter, horizontal blade that is excellent for digging.
Q. How do you keep a pick mattock?
A. Use either a grind or a manual file to maintain a sharp edge on both ends of a mattock. A mattock's adze blade and axe should be kept free of burrs and any significant dents or chips should be ground or filed out. However, the adze's cutting edge shouldn't be kept as sharp as the axe's.
