@@ethanhowell-ht8du Hi Ethan, this can be purchased from Engineered for Axemen on their website engineeredforaxemen.com.au/ thanks Liam

@@johnleahu9503 Hi John, thanks for commenting. It is hard to tell as I haven’t used this axe much. Right away I can tell this one is better for limbing with a wider cutting edge and thinner profile. I have used the Tuatahi camp axe allot and in my opinion it is the ultimate all round work axe so I would have to go with the Tuatahi in that respect. Thanks Liam

@@liamturner9568 thank you so much for answering.... I do appreciate you much! I have the Tuatahi Camp axe, so I was not sure how they would compare. I have the choice to buy the Chopper from Axemen or the Camp axe from Tuatahi. I think you opened my eyes, and I will probably purchase the Chopper..... In your opinion, long handle or 3/4 handle, which one is better? Thanks again sir!

@@johnleahu9503 I have the 3/4 handle and it feels real good. I would imagine that the full length handle would also be good. With this size of cutting edge I think that the shorter handle is better

@@liamturner9568 thank you sir! I appreciate your input! God bless you Liam!

@@ronkay1573 thanks for commenting. It comes with a very nice 20deg chisel as the secondary bevel and small micro bevel. All I have done to maintain it is touch up the micro bevel with a stone every now then. I haven’t had to touch the secondary bevel yet. Thanks Liam

In conclusion. It comes with a very serviceable edge that is very effective and very durable and easy to maintain. Tuatahi have definitely hit the sweet spot with this axe

This fast growing Redgum is always a bit sticky with any axe. In general the Tuatahi camp axe is a very free axe and bounces right out of the cut on denser wood. Just a bit sticky in this particular tree but definitely does the job well. Thanks for commenting, it’s much appreciated

@@liamturner9568 no worries liam. Being a west aussie we dont have the wide variety of different timbers that the east coast does. But karri can be bloody hard and its well known amongst log choppers that jarrah is very hard as well.

I have heard that out west the timber is very tough. I have worked with Jarrah a bit and it is definitely very dense and hard. It really depends where it is grown. This particular tree was grown in a forest in the hills so it grew fast and tall. Redgum that is grown in the Mallee is a lot tougher and harder. Every tree is different and some axe work better in certain timber

@@liamturner9568 absolutely and i enjoy talking to people like yourself about it all. Great stuff cheers and regards Dave

Thanks for taking the time to comment, it is much appreciated. Thanks Liam

Thanks mate, I’m glad you enjoyed them

Hi mate, the poll is definitely much bigger on the sneddens. The poll doesn’t really come in the factory unless you are swinging horizontally such at felling and wedge banging. It doesn’t make a difference when chopping underhand as gravity is in your favour

It is an absolute beast of an axe you will love it. I waited about 3 months for mine a few years ago

@@liamturner9568 ok sounds good thanks. Yeah the website said 3 months. Weather will be cooling off up here in New Hampshire by then, the Fall is the perfect axe swinging season!

Hi Brett thanks for commenting. yeah mate just me and some axes in the bush chopping a bit of timber. I try and upload something every fortnight so stay tuned for more

Thanks mate, appreciate it

Thanks mate, it throws some big chips. Definitely my favourite axe to use

It is definitely a very good limber. I’m interested to see how it goes in some bigger timber

Definitely is mate

Thanks mate, yeah it’s an absolutely beautiful axe

It’s nice wood to chop when you can get it to stay still. The area I fell this tree in was covered in granite rock so i didn’t want to buck it all up on the ground and risk damaging my axe

Cheers Kurt, appreciate it

Thanks mate. I definitely need a better setup

Cheers Bushy, appreciate it mate. I have a few good axes in the works that I will be testing out directly once they are ready to go. It should make for some good footage

@@liamturner9568 sweet 🪓🪓🪓

Thank you mate, it’s much appreciated. The Knife I am carrying is a Helle Utvaer

Thanks mate, appreciate it

Great axe you certainly do have the physic 4 that B PROUD my brother B PROUD What fixblade u carrying ? Regards Richard. 🇿🇦

It definitely is, there was no way I was letting the Tuatahi get that close to the ground so the Brades took one for the team.

Thanks mate appreciate it. It is one of Chris new handles that he makes in house at Engineered for Axemen. He has 3 different lengths and 3 different species being Hickory, Beech and Spottedgum

Hi mate, I just uploaded an extended version to this video if you want to check it out. Thanks Liam

@@liamturner9568 cheers for letting me know, i will look up their website,

@@liamturner9568 watching now, thanks

Hi mate, just realised it is Pete not Chris from Engineered for Axemen. Thanks Liam

Thanks mate, appreciate it

She’s a beauty I love it. They all have thinned down spottedgum Kruger handles except for the 4 1/2 on a Vandieman Racing handle

Yes it is a Tasmanian pattern

I was surprised how quick it got through with a thick grind. The heel really bites on this axe

This one is definitely my favourite aswell

Hi mate. It is a 750mm racing handle

Thanks mate. The handle is 30 inches
