- 1st impressions of the rinaldi 'racing axe'. Thanks again to Theud Bald for getting this to me despite the red tape. So far I am really impressed with this axe and it has potential to be good at a lot of jobs

Going back to th 70,s with that haircut😁
That looks like a great option, I really like the bit length combined with the extra weight.
Thanks Ben, that axe is a beast, too heavy for my arms for now. It's really close to the Cadore pattern on their catalog.
The problem you point about availability is also a thing for me as a reseller. Gas and steel prices make it difficult for south European tool makers. They might have to stop production because their market is drawn by low prices. Maybe the Axe community has something to play about this...
It’s gonna be soon available in Canada 🇨🇦! Working on it!
Cheers for the vid Ben always good to see you out bush. That is a cool axe!
Definitely gets the job done! Enjoyable video!
Brilliant video..looks like it's up to the task and then some👍all the best Lincoln 👍🤙
Exciting to be in the woods again:)
I like how you kept in the moment when the camera fell over 😅
Thanks for the review!
Great video, really like the look of these axes,
Great looking axe. I havnt been able to find one yet, well I did but they were not available. But thanks for the video brother. & I agree 100% with the heavier axes. I really like my 6lb Tuatahi work axe. But never really is practical to work with, so I used the Tuatahi camp axe haha. Witch is hands down one of the best axes I've ever used. Take care brother
Bring 'Er down these parts. We'll find some green wood for it
With the long hair you look a bit like Alessandro Altobelli.
Good job 👍
Ben, I picked up a maul and an axe two weeks ago. First time I had my wood splitting tools out this spring season. I split a cord of wood ( cheery and maple) for my next door neighbors. They were going to bring they're hydraulic wood splitter from home four hours away, I said I'd do it by hand. It took me five consecutive days and three hours, each day. I used my Husqvarna 2800, Fiskars X27 and Fiskars 8 pound Isocore maul. It was so rewarding. I never split that much with the weather in upstate New York. The rain held up nicely and the temperatures were cool and not so warm. You take it to the next level though, lol! Have you just had the axes out lately or a combination of crosscut saw and chainsaw too?
I split almost every day, its my job along with sawmilling. Its good work if abit monotonous and tiring. Having nice tools makes it enjoyable
Yea it's been really rainy. Whereabouts upstate

Great video sharing
That axe looks really fun to use. Perfectly functional, with the added bonus of intimidation lol.
Looks like it would be a good coppicing axe. Do you notice if the balance feels weird with that front heavy bit?
I dont notice the balance
4:33 About slipping. I recently used the Müller handle with Lacquer not scraped off and it felt decent, its more slippery than scraped off.
Then i sanded with P100 and P240, i dont like to use it so since its too slippery. So i applied Linen Oil and it became much more grippy.
When i started i just scraped off the Lacquer because i heard it on TH-cam and was too influenced by people.
Do you still oil your handles or leave them untreaded, do you feel a difference in grip?
I give them one coat of oil or leave them plain on racing axes
Hi,
After watching your last video, I was wondering what you think of the heat treatment and steel of Prandi axes as opposed to the Rinaldi.
Heat treatment is hard to determine, all i can say is both chop wood without damage
Hello shoe maker, it's an important question. Rinaldi axes are harder than Prandi axes. Rinaldi axes have the best finitions and edge durability, but can't be modified with a file. So, if you like to custom axes by hand (not really needed on Rinaldi axes), or prefer to be able to repair an Axe by hand than with a power grinder, Prandi axes are better on that point.
Hey Ben, someone recently just listed a bunch of Rinaldis on eBay here in the US and after hearing you talk about them so much I decided to pick up a few. I got a 1300g Trento head, a 700g Trento head, and Rinaldi "Normal" Axe they called it, which is 400g head with 4.25" edge. I think I'll be happy with the 700g Trento but curious on your thoughts about the 1300g Trento for felling soft woods up here in Alaska, or would something with not as long an edge / thicker geometry be better for felling? Appreciate it, keep up the vids!
Edit: Just found your Prandi Trentin video again so that answers my question haha
for trees up to 12" the rinaldi will work fine
Hi Ben, it seems to have a smilar head to the Ochsenkopf fortestry axe with slightly more flare of the cutting edge on the Rinaldi.
Yes its a very typical head shape in central europe
@@benscottwoodchopper Thanks for the reply Ben. just curious about the angle you put on the cutting edge of this axe.
@@paulhomsy2751 about 20 degrees
@@benscottwoodchopper Thank you !
That one and the Trentin look really similar in the way they handle; which is your preferred out of those two?
Both are nice, i like the heavier rinaldi though it has more wedge shaped geometry which pops chips better
Its hard to tell in the video, but the geometry looks very thin and flat. Is there any convexity or HCL ? Also the shorter handle looks more useable than the Trenti handle.
Its flat and wedge shaped
Where are you getting rinaldi axes from?
la-frontiere.fr/
I see that Rinaldi and Prandi make similar designs. Which brand do you recommend more? Thx
I think rinaldi is a bit better but depends if you can actually get them
@@benscottwoodchopperI see. Thank you.
@@benscottwoodchopper you’re right my friend. Very hard to find. Any dealers or websites that you would recommend?
@@johnseropyan depends where you live
@@benscottwoodchopper I’m in US
Hi Ben what do you think about the gedore champion axe I really want to get it
Get a tuatahi. Its not bad but the ochsenkopf needs a lot of work
@@benscottwoodchopper ok isn't it a lot more monay though because of import tax and what not because of brexit
Also do you know where you can buy runaldi in the UK I've looked but I have not found any
I just had a look and the tuatahi camp axe looks amazing I might end up buying it thanks for the advice great video BTW you really inspired me to get into axes a couple of years ago
@@lexor101 thats the problem, very hard to get. Only thanks to theud bald that i could get this one in the UK
First!
I feel the slip fit is kind of like the pineapple on pizza thing. People don't like it because it's trendy not to like it a lot of the time.
