"If you touch it, it'll cut you" Sounds like my ex.
Best comment ever.
Oof
😁👍
Ah, I see you too have a weakness for hispanic women
Aren't those the axes that the "Pros" use in competitions? They look amazing.
Yep. They are.
i live in Basque country and love watching the log chopping they do every year at the Basque festival in northern Nevada.
+Matt Steers We used to go to a Basque restaurant in Minden/Gardnerville when I was growing up in Sparks in the 60' & 70's, it was a family style with large tables and 11 or 12 courses of awesome food.
Hey Matt, where is this in Nevada?
I am amazed how many of your videos I have missed over the last decade. As you have been in this transition I have been going through old videos and enjoying the immensely. Thank you
For some reason I absolutely loved the song while he was felling!
Always enjoy your ax reviews and this was no exception. Thanks for posting up
+Texas Style Cuisine thanks
@@wranglerstar what is the official name of this axe/company and where I can order one from? I didn't see a link to it. Thanks
I've never seen this design before. Thank you John and you Cody for sharing.
These axes remind me of the prop axe carried by the Tin Man in the The Wizard of Oz
what a peaceful and calming channel and content GREAT WORK!
WOW! That is really nice! I would love that design... I really like my tools close (short handle) and the simplicity is helpful in the field as well.....
You need a hoodie that says : "You know me, I'm not content... I have to mess with everything." I would buy it today!
Very interesting axes, I love the concept of the slide in handle! Food for thought. For the end of the handle, to prevent slippage, drill a hole and add an adjustable lanyard. With the right length lanyard, you can basically lock the one hand in place. Also, I've found that hockey stick tape works great for adding a more reliable grip to various handles without making them overly thick, as well as, to thicken a smaller handle to fit my hand better with 1 or 2 extra wraps of tape. I've used hockey stick tape for years, and I learned as a kid it was useful in a lot of ways, and now the tapes are far better than they were 30 years ago. Anyway, I hope these ideas help, and if not for these axes, then maybe a future project.
i dont trust anything a piece of razor sharp metal that can move on me while using...i dont care how long they been makin em like that.....not from my dollar.....
As usual I love your axe videos and your channel. I have learned so much from you. Keep it up!
That is one good-lookin' tool! We are in Basque territory here, along the eastern Sierra and lower Cascades. They have been mostly shepherds in the past, but they also have a small grocery in Susanville. Anyway we know and appreciate them. I will be sharing this video with some Basque friends, who will be delighted.
There are many videos of the Man Who made the axes. All handcrafted. If your friends do still know básque language even better. If not still good to see.
Well you know better than I, by experience, but it's easy to see what a fine tool this is. Thanks for sharing this with us Cody. Worth it.
I found your site by looking for parts for a wet/dry vac in you can imagine. You do some good work for sure. The water pump is what got my main interest and then I got onto the forge which I want to learn more about. I would like to find one like my granddad had which I do not remember the name of. More home work. I will be in touch. Keep up the good info.
Randy
Another great video. Keep the axe stuff coming, dude.
dear Cody me and jack still loving your channel. Got my fire wood chopped and fire going for the winter.Love this time of year.Merry Christmas to you , your lady and your jack.God bless you all.Adam
Those are really nice pieces of steel. I've never been exposed to Basque axes before, so I really appreciated learning about them and seeing them in action. I'd snag one in a second if I ever come across something similar.
Love the timelaps.
Best wishes proud moment seeing that as a dad. Love From South Africa
Hi, I live in Valencia Spain south of Basque country. I haven't spotted if anyone else has mentioned it but the name/brand 'Hacha Artisana' just means Artisan Axe. Artisan as in ... made by a craftsman. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful Steel! love the head design. Great Music choice! A favorite of Nutnfancy's too.
Pansies are actually incredibly tough. they come up early in the season when other flowers aren't capable, and they can survive under a snowpack!
Bought a .8 and a 1.25 kg. The big one chopped great until the handle slipped halfway down into the eye. I used the small one for the rest of the day: all was fine until the head slid down and sent me to get some stitches. Also, a round eyed tomahawk/trade axe is easy to get a handle made, these are a severe pain. If you look at pictures of Basque axes you can see allot of folks wrap or shove things around the head to keep them from sliding down one way or the other.
The Handel and the way it's hung is just like altuna axes from Spain.
The brand is possibly "JAUREGUI" from Urnieta, Spain.
Hacha Artesana means Artisan Axe.
Cheers!
They now have a large internet presence - largely I think due to you and they are on backorder ..another great review -- Thanks for doing them..
The sound of someone chopping down a tree with a felling axe is so wonderful.
I’m wanting the .80kg pruning axe and the 1.75kg felling axe from them. Really great reviews everywhere I look.
They look really streamlined and as if they would be aerodynamic, even though its not necessary. But having the rounded profile would also limit corrosion and shattering to some extent. Id like Cliff Stamp to see some of these.
Thanks for sharing guys.
Forjadas a mano, en mi tierra. Un saludo desde Vitoria, España
Hey i ordered a splittin maul from gransfors bruk about a week ago because of you. I did a lot of research before I purchased. Like you, I take the most interest and am incredibly fond of the life style. Just wanted to say thanks for opening my eyes to qualify tools and info
Next on my list is the double bit felling axe
Very similar to a collegiate racing axe, and they are the fastest felling axes made. Lots of weight, and a long cutting face. Almost a Jersey style axe. Very cool.
+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI how much do the heads weigh Cody?
+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI ANY FOOL CAN SEE ITS VERY LITTLE. THE EDGE ON IT IS LIKE A KNIFE. THEREFORE IT WILL DULL EASILY AND NOT CLEAR OUT THE CHIPS WELL. THE FLY WEIGHT HEAD WILL MAKE IT A BITCH TO CUT WITH. YOUR ARMS WILL FALL OFF.
Get your ignorant self onto the Internet, type in
2015 Tioga County Fair Lumberjack Competition - Part 1
Watch from about 2:45 - 3:15 or so, see if you recognize the shape of their axes? ALL racing axes are very similar in shape and size and weight. You say they can't clear out chips? Do you even own an axe
+HOSSMCG CHECKED IT ! THOSE AXES ARE HEAVIER WEIGHTED HEADS THAN PICTURED HERE AND WITH MORE ANGLE TO THE EDGE. YOU WILL SEE A WEDGE IN THE END OF THE AXE HANDLE. THIS VIDEO SHOWS NONE. THE HANDLE END TAPER IS WHAT KEEPS THE HEAD FROM FLYING OFF SO THERE YOU GO. ALSO THE WOOD BEING CUT IS VERY SOFT POPULAR WOOD WHICH IS MENTIONED IN THE FIRST VIDEO. NOT SURE THEY'RE EVEN THE SAME MANUFACTURER !
I guess you just don't understand axes. They are two totally different companies, competition axes are hung the correct way, not like an adze wedge shape. My point was the shape of their cutting edges are very similar, and they will throw chips a mile. As far as weight goes, Cody even said that big one was to heavy to mess with. I have very thin edged axes, one Kelly perfect that has been ground so much on a traditional 24" round piece of sandstone, that the first inch is as thin as most kitchen knives. And it cuts like a dream, even on hardwood. Probably 75-100 years old and has never chipped in the many years I've owned it. You might want to go to their web site and check them out. As I'm sure you can speak and read Spanish, as you know it all. You never did answer my question...do you even own an axe?
Ever since I seen this video a couple years ago. I have been stocking up on these. Thanks for the video
Thinking of getting one of these to make a bug out tool incase SHTF. Would make a handle thats long enough for it to be used as a hiking stick and maybe making it so I can interchange with a pick axe and also a shovel on the other end.
I love your taste in music on all your TH-cam videos. Just such a pity you don't or can't have a link to them.
Those axes or "aizkora" in basque are made by Jose Ramón Jauregi in the town of Urnieta, Province of Gipuzkoa, basque country, spain. I'm basque and i have 1'25kg and a 2'5kg axes from jauregi, his axes are the best we can buy, they are artisan-made an he himself is an adorable person who loves his work and traditions.
As an addition, Jauregi also makes racing axes "apustu aizkorak" for professional competitors who compete in both national and international competitions (such as the basques Aitzol atutxa, Mikel Larrañaga and Iker Vicente)
Those axe heads are wild. I have never seed anything like them ever!
Seed
+Ethan Nuijens Well, the N is very close to the D, so that is bound to happen.
Me nu my phone has autocorrect, and it put seed instead of seen. No reason to be judgmental, I just didn't catch it.
@@MIgardener I agree my Bro
Hi Cody, could you let us know what the music at the end was please, many thanks.
Beautiful tools. Thanks for the review. They look like a high grade of Stainless Steel...
I have one thats really rusted over and put through a lot and its still great tbh
Never commented on the performance of the axe....great video ad usual keep it up
The axe head was probably made like that over time... to be comfortable in the hand, to be used as a hand knife. Skinning game, prepping game and vegetables for cooking , cutting cooked meat for eating, etc....very nice design. The Basque history has had more than enough time to perfect the tools that they would use " everyday".
beatiful axes and felling brother and always great review
Hey Wranglerstar! If you could choose one axe for a good all around axe, which would you choose between the basque or the prandi axes? Also, which model?
+Wranglerstar Nice Video! What kind of sharpening stones were those?
The definition of "hacha artesana" is artesanal hatchet. Good video by the way.
*artesanal axe
Hey Cody! I really enjoy your new style of video! Keep it up! Love the music! What song is that at the end?
Interesting design. The tree huggers will be angry as you cannot say "no trees were harmed in the making of this video". LOL
great video lots of great information. ...
As a Basque man from the US who loves bushcraft I massively appreciate this video.
John Nivek dont sound basque......
@@jorgeguanche5327 you got me. Because my name online is Nivek which happens to be a made up stage name the lead singer of Skinny Puppy goes by, I'm definitely lying about my heritage. For what purpose? Even I may never know.
@@jorgeguanche5327 because people totally can't just put anything as their name on TH-cam.
Here another Jon from the Basque Country! Nice vid, thanks
+Wranglerstar can you please tell me where you can get these axes?
Pieces of art!
Urnieta is a village placed in Guipuzcoa, Spain. The axe's brandy is Jauregui. This is the surname of the artisan axemaker: José Manuel Jauregui.
Thank you for the video....What are the weights of these axes....particularly the "boys axe?
Will you sell one? I need one for felling but less than 30" handle. Thank you
Beautiful looking tools.
Thank you for the video!
Cody, your desire for a palm swell got me thinking of a way to add a removable palm swell. My wood working experience only goes about as far as constructing fences, but it seems that with some sort of dove tail router bit, you could start a grove flush with the handle that gets deeper as it moves toward the base of the handle then comes to a stop before running all the way through. Then you could build a palm swell with that is inserted from above and slid down to the bottom (much like the axe head is installed). It probably wouldn't be super durable, and it might be a pain to remove after 300 swings, but it could be a fun project just to see if you could get it to work.
what is the best axe for wood splitting ???
now I really want one. they are just really beautiful
Those axes are a ART work, the mirror finish helps them cut.
Also the edges are not flat as an American ax, they have a slight roundness to them, therefore less drag and therefor cut much deeper.
Also the edge is not long, they go right into widening, which will split wood much nicer.
Pure ART WORK
They are available
Do you have any idea of where to get a basque axe?
A very interesting axe, and, as usual, a very well put together video, more of the same please!!!!
Where can we find one of these to buy
I want to refurbish my first axe. I would like to give it to my boy. I found a Plumb online that looks like it would be nice to restore what is your opinion on their steel? Instead of Hickory I have some nice bamboo stock I was going to work into a handle any thoughts are pitfalls on that. I appreciate all your videos and thank you for your time hope to hear back from you thanks.
+wranglerstar Speaking of palm swells, I have a hatchet that has a swell the size of your hand. It would make a good template.
The Jauregui axes are not traditional basque, but australian pattern. The traditional has a wedge shape and straight bit.
What's the weight of the axes, you said heavy can you weigh them? Lamnia.com does have them and will ship to the US, but they list them by Kg and not by numbers. Thanks.
Are your parts in yet to complete the wood box project?
ill bet you could make a removable palm swell for that handle...
I have an idea for a new video. Maybe you made it because there is a massive quantity of videos that i am still watching.
I think that these basque axes are not only different for the culture but as well for the type of wood that used to chop in the area Oaks, beech... hard woods. On the other hand i saw a lots of videos of you and I realize how good were the axes you use for a softer kind of woods.
I do not think that there is better axe or better wood, but I think that each of it has its possitive side or qualities for some buildings or structures and negative for other types of works and so on.
So here is the idea... What about to try different axes in diferent woods. Choping trees, cuting big pieces and small logs of wood. So we can find which axe is better for hard, medium and soft wood, even for a different type works..... just an idea.
What size and weight Basque axe did you use to fall that fir tree Cody?
I've use mine for 6 years I did get a crack to run down the back of the axe head but I quick weld fixed it and stopped it from spreading
In case anyone was interested, they are called Jauregi Urnieta axes.
Those edge profiles already look pretty slim... nice
how would you compare this to lets say a granfors bruks felling or scandinavian forest axe?
Where did you get those sharpening stones? Love the videos. Keep up the good work.!
4 years still no reply. If you said you found his wallet.........zip zip narcissist. also you don't file into the blade. Ha wranglerstar my but cant even use a axe properly goose!. Ha
reminds me very much of the "racing" axes used in the timber sports shows.
Yes. Because these are Indeed Basque competition axes.
What do you think about stihl axes? Are they any good? Worth the money?
You are correct, I've never seen such as this. I want one or three. It is beautiful and elegant. I agree.
+plant man I hadn't noticed. OMG. I've become a monster. LOL
They are available from a Finnish company called Lamnia.
They ship to the US at very reasonable prices (less than $10.00).
I got the small curved bit felling ax (1.25Kg).
Quite sharp upon arrival.
The hafts are made of European Beech wood which is very straight grained.
Very different from American Hickory and not as smoothly finished "out of the box" as a Council Velvicut or Gransfors Bruks but finish pretty well with some diligent hand sanding and some linseed oil.
Haven't employed it for its intended purpose as of yet but it's a neat little item!
The red sticker basically says "made by hand".
The manufacturer is a guy named Jauregi Urnieta.
Cheers!
Hey Cody what are the weights on these three?
Did you post a link for these? Thanks
Basque aka VASQUEZ! I dig the profile. ...and get a kick out of the relation to my heritage/genealogy...
The Basque people also have a long tradition of casually crossing the Atlantic to fish in North America during the middle-ages without realizing that it was a different continent and actually a really big deal. In Québec we have a region called Les Basques in their honor.
Perhaps wrapping leather cordage around the palm swell would give a little better grip to keep your hand from sliding off. Great video!
Can you provide a link or contact for purchase ?
Are these available in the United States I'd certainly buy one.
Man you are a beast, no question about it. Felling trees with an axe is no joke. Well done.
You run into people who cannot believe anyone would pay the price this axe commands. They are WORTH every penny. They make your work/life so much easier they are worth twice the price. I have 2 Gransfors Bruks that are worth all the money I paid for them in the effort they save and now I am going to save up for one of these. Thank you! (Grants on the 1.1 mil subs. I have followed you for awhile and you earned each sub!)
I seen All your videos on axe ..and few others lol.. I thought you out chit to say !!! teehee.. Wow.. Really like the axe style. Weres mine ? Wrap it in metal for safety /protect handle and Dial - pin to hold all together and secure the no slip off. handle till its ready to be repraced.
How did you get the tree to raise back up? That was crazy
I wish you did more felling videos like this. but with out the speed up just the full length original speed and more broad axe
Where do I get one of these??
Cody, as so often an excellent choice of background music. Where do you find all those pieces?
I heard this song on one of nutnfancy' videos, which I do not remember the title of. It's one of his outdoor adventure videos. You'll have to watch all of them to find the comment below where they name the person who made this song. lol :P The guitar riff reminds me of Paradise City by Guns N' Roses. ;)
