Since you have so many axes, you should do side by side comparison with axes in the same league (meaning same length). Would love to see this axe vs a Gransfors Small forest axe vs Wetterlings Hunters axe vs Council Tool Pact axe. See how they all compare doing different tasks.
It's nice to see an actually good sheath. Your father does good work. I spent years doing custom leather work, and I cringe every time I see someone say the default sheaths most axes come with are good quality.
You, sir, are one one of the most skillful axe reviewer i have watched... Your chopping is accurate with calculated notch with respect to the size of the log. Many tool reviewers cannot chop properly thus it is difficult to judge the tool... And i subbed for the exit comment of yours because you did not shy away from faith in this highly secular world... God bless
I like the blade angle. The Granfors Bruks small axes I got have a very thin angle. Extremely thin for slicing I believe. Trying to split something with them is an exercise in futility. They are still good axes. I use a carpenter hatchet when falling trees. I carry it on my belt with a learher attachment on my belt that has a hole in it that the handle slides down in and out easily. I beat it to death pounding on wedges and it's held up pretty good. I highly suggest reflective orange tape on the handle in at least one spot for when it gets dropped by accident.
2:55 Mine hast the same gap there! Good to see that others have that, too. Doesn't matter anyway, I was just wondering when I saw it. Awesome video by the way! Keep it up! Awesome axe!
Enjoyed your video. However, I am one that doesn't like snaps on a sheath. I'm always worried the snaps will pull thru. I do own the Hulks Bruk AKKA Forest Axe. Before using this axe, I did reseal the handle and put a leather handle guard on with lace up. Back to your dads sheaths, they look good, but again if he, your dad can make a better sheath that has No Snaps. I would be interested. Maybe many people that sometimes uses their tools once in a while don't care. However, 14-21 days a month I am in the woods practicing Solo Bushcraft. Rarely do I ever video my projects. Manly due to the distance I hike. I already carry 33lbs. I don't need another 10lbs in camera gear.
Say Heah Eugene, Yeah, I bought a closeout 17" Agdor Hatchet. Infact I got one of your Axe Holster for it. Your right the steel is excellent and it's made very we'll, I guess they dropped my hatchet for the up-grade, The newer ones have the Swedish look where mine is more European. But the large Holster work's great on mine. But I got mine at a great price and it came spot on. I had to put a nice edge on it, but everything like I said was spit on. Infact it's one of my Fav. Bush Craft Hatchet's. But I do have a Small Forest Axe too. But the 1 3/4 lbs. head is great to process firewood and it's compact and that's exactly what I wanted.,,.
Viktor Ragulin it is a direct competitor. literaly chev vs ford. and almost accross the street from oneanother. I have this one, and a friend has the gransfors version. Most similar. Both cuts like a laser beam. I strop my edge even. Time willing. Holds such a nice edge! The geomytry of both is superior plus weight reduction. Awesomeness.
Hey I see your from Washington and have done some trips in eastern Washington and Idaho, I live in Spokane Washington and I was wondering what are some good backpacking trips nearby, I want some good spots not to far away. I know there are tons of good areas on the cascades but I want some closer trip ideas. Thanks.
ReviewOutdoorGear also I was wondering what are some good ways for getting maps, I was thinking about going with AllTrails pro, just seeing if there is better options or possibly free options for getting good trail maps.
love the reviews! and videos of course. Definitely looking forward to a new movie and behind the scenes. Its hard to tell in the pictures but in the video here you can see that the poll looks slightly more rounded than a regular axe. which lends to ease in skinning of animals. an lessens the possibility of tearing the hide. Is the Aneby the same? Just curious. Again it is so hard to tell from pictures as every website seems to have slightly different pictures of the same axes. Anyway, Thank you! as always
Was that log made of butter or is the axe that good 😀 I'm getting one myself I haven't seen a bad review on them great job showing what the axe is capable of and fair play to your father for the exceptional sheaths
You got that right. Dont use the back of the axe-head as a hammer on metal - unless you want to ruin both the axe-head as well as the wood - the strokes will deform the wood inside the eye of the axe and make it prone to coming loose ahead of its time. The rounded (beveled?) edges on the back of the head is for stripping the skin off of animals you have cought huntaing - hence the name "hunters axe". And yup: Hults Bruk and Hultafors is the same. And are the worlds oldest axe manufacturer company.
Thank you for the video. Am shopping for something relatable to a small Forest axe at a cheaper price. Noticed your watch too. Not a Rolex Exlporer right? Also couldn't be sure it's a Seiko? Props either way!
I'm still confused with the two different names. I've looked them both up and they have different websites and apparently different line ups of axes. They're both expensive though fitting in well with the other Swedish axes.
I have no idea which of the three Swedish companies are the best. A side by side by side look at each class of these axe would make one hell of a video series. I just hear all 3 are good axes but never the advantages each axe has on each other. I'm talking wetterlings, gransfors bruk, and hults.
Can you recommend a good and light bearded carving hatchet? I’ve been looking at Hoffman but so pricy (yet beautiful). Also, do you guys make the sheath for a good carving hatchet? I got my sheath for my GB small forest ace from you guys. Nice quality.
The original sheath is better anyway. What this guy fails to mention is that the edge never comes in contact with those rivets because there's a big chunk of leather in the way.
Scares me to watch you chopping with your leg right behind the tree. If you miss the axe will go straight into your leg. Be carefull. Otherwise, great review. 👍

Kaze agree completely. This would be invaluable
I think that would be a great video to see. They're all good tools, but it's always nice to see how they really compare.

Hultafors is the company that bought the Hults Bruk forge.
Nice sheath you made! Good idea to avoid rivots where the edge/blade of the axe is. I´d switch out the button with a leather strap though.
Thank you for the review, great review on an awesome looking axe. You're sheaths dresses up every axe beautifully.

Hi, just wondering if I can get a coupon code for the axe sheath?

Awesome axe!
It's nice to see a review from someone who actually knows how to use an axe.
Hi from England. Hultrafors for me forever.
I love my Hultafors HY20! I think it is the same head with a little longer handle.
Enjoyed your video. However, I am one that doesn't like snaps on a sheath. I'm always worried the snaps will pull thru.
I do own the Hulks Bruk AKKA Forest Axe.

One version of this axe has a head that is polished? What is the difference of these two besides the colour? Can someone plz explain this to me?
Have 1 of those sheaths on the way from Amazon actually

how does it compare to the GB SFA price-quality relationship wise?

Wow! I’ll be picking up a sheath, beautiful! And made on this side of the world 🙏🏻
I've just ordered the sheath and leather handle guard for the same axe as yours. They call it the Hultan axe, but I believe its the same one though.
I'm in the UK, amazon wouldn't send it to me but your site does, so thanks in advance...
Hello, How to buy the sheeth in germany?
On our website : ReviewOG.com
Hultafors owns Hults Bruk, they bought the factory in 1992, but the factory still runs independently and also sells Axes without Hultafors Brand
Wts the width and how thick is the middle of the handle ?

Northern Idaho - around Priest Lake to the East and Bonners Ferry areas are both beautiful.

Hi! Nice tool to carry... What's your watch ?
i like the video, love the axe, love the leather sheath too. but I don't love the product plug that takes up a third of a video about an axe...
Was that log made of butter or is the axe that good 😀 I'm getting one myself I haven't seen a bad review on them great job showing what the axe is capable of and fair play to your father for the exceptional sheaths

you have to check out the Husqvarna small forest axe. Excellent value and a very good product.
The Poll on a hunting axe is meant for skinning an animal. That's why it's polished and rounded.
Very good chopping skill
Hultafors axe cases are amazing!
Beautiful axe. Seems to have a great steel.
Man I got to buy that axe enjoyed the video keep up the good work
Congrats on 30k

Which is better the hultafors hunting axe or the husqvarna camping axe

I don't think any of them is better. Thay are all brilliant companies. It probably comes down to personal preference...

My grand force brooks his crap so I'm looking for something else how would this compare
If you think that GFB is crap than nothing will please you my friend
41 dollars for an axe sheath and nearly 20 to ship. Nearly as expensive as the axe itself
The original sheath is better anyway. What this guy fails to mention is that the edge never comes in contact with those rivets because there's a big chunk of leather in the way.
thanks for sharing great video great info God bless you
Amen!
Scares me to watch you chopping with your leg right behind the tree. If you miss the axe will go straight into your leg. Be carefull. Otherwise, great review. 👍
Why do you take so many un nessesary measurements ? Just tell is the handle size the cutting edge and that's all is nessesary .
+Jacob 014 what do I tell the guy who has the opposite question?
