Think I heard you say you didn't like the handle shape but I gotta be honest this looks like a great camp axe for making a spatula or 2! Pretty impressive. I see this as very good competition for the cold steel axe gang product. Not sure I've seen a slip fit for competition throwing but I don't see why it would matter if it's legal.
The handle is great, I was mentioning I’m not a huge fan of the square body sides of the axe head. I’d definitely grind them off if the whole head wasn’t hardened! It is a fun user, keeps a nice edge. From what I’m seeing here it’s better built than the cold steel axes, so definitely a good option
Pretty cool of em to send you that. Where are they made, is it a US company? Pretty suprised to see 60+ on a throwing axe, could get a bit chippy. Kids look like they havin fun, good stuff👍
I don’t believe it’s a U.S. company in actually not sure where they are based. The axe is definitely hard! I was surprised by that too. I kind of wish the whole head wasn’t hardened because I was planning on doing a big re shaping of the whole thing. Fun axe to chuck around the yard though!
It still has a beard. It is more of a Nordic axe than a tomahawk. I ground the beards off my cheap tomahawk. Mine is hard as a rock, too. I still have not mastered throwing it, yet. After you polished it you ought to rust blue it 4TBs of peroxide, one TBS of vinegar and 3/4 TSP of plain salt. Boil in distilled water and card with 0000 steel wool - six coats for a good blue luster.
I also reviewed one of these axes last winter and I liked it but it looks like they've made several improvements, which is great. They appear to have upped the hardness, which is nice, but mainly retaining a bit more wood on the handle and adding a sheath addresses the major issues I had. I'd like to think my feedback was helpful.
Yo my brother, i have a question, i plan on getting a jersey slasher axe (and iam from germany so the delivery is quite expensive its like 70 dollars for an axe) so it should be worth the money i looked at and axe from collins legitimus what do you think about that brand is it good quality ? (I plan on felling trees and chopping some bonfire wood with it)
@@urbanlumberjack Yes a few people here have kelly axes so i thought about getting one but on ebay they are more expensive and i cant afford that , but thanks for your opinion ,👍 have a great day
The prices are crazy high for them, especially. The jersey patterns. I think pretty highly of the German axe makers, they are kind of expensive over here, just like the Kelly’s and Collin’s are in Europe. Maybe we can do a trade! lol
@@urbanlumberjack Yeah the problem is mostly the delivery though... the delivery for a jersey axehead alone is 70 Euros thats like 80 Dollars which is just extremly overpriced , german axes are great , but in germany we mostly only have like 2 or 3 axe patterns , thats why i want to get an us pattern , so i have some variety between my axes
Throwing axes is really fun! 🪓 I made a video about it a while ago too. There are different techniques to learn, including no-spin. It's a lot of fun!!
Hey brother, love your content, just want to say thank you for the videos you make and God bless you and your family!🙏🏼🤙🏼
This made my day thank you!

@@urbanlumberjack Must have misheard. I noticed the pretty oak right when I saw that endgrain. Reminds me a bit of the Japanese oak handle I have.

I’m sure it was! I’ll check out your video
Looks like you have the throwing dialed in pretty well! Nice handle, decent sheath and interesting shape.
It’s a fun axe. For oak the handle is definitely great. A nice one to learn throwing
Looks like a fun little axe !
It really is!
8:33 Ill just say for now that this brew looks tasty 🍻
I thought the goat was gonna get it with the first throw.
Haha she was farther back than she looks but the video makes it look so close! I showed them away so many times and they kept coming back…

Hey man! The Collins Legitimus axes are some of the best ever made IMHO. Very good, also very sought after. The Kelly Woodslashers are great too.
