Well you've done it again! I just ordered one of the 26" multi purpose axe yesterday as a Valentine's gift to me from my wife for $95 from Acme Tools! Can't wait! Thanks for another great review Eugene!
Хороший обзор. Спасибо. Хотел купить другу на день рождения, теперь куплю. А дорабатывать всегда немного надо. Удивился когда по русски заговорили. Удачи вам.
I sanded my handle smooth and then used a stain wax by minwax to seal the wood grain with a thin layer of linseed afterward. I always finish my axe handles like furniture. I added an overstrike guard made out of a bicycle inner tube and friction tape. Then I made a lace up leather guard to go over that. The Husqvarna axe is entirely like the smaller head swedish axes. They were designed to work in a boreal pine forest. That isnt a negative point. I found a low cost whole head cover and then a scabbard for a shotgun that will carry the axe and have room for a machete sheath on the backside with molle attachments to add what you need with you. I use my Husqvarna axe with the Husqvarna chainsaw so it is my limbing axe. If I need to do heavier axe work I bring a full sized axe.
I wouldn't waste your money on this axe... it seems like a great deal but these axes are notorious for snapping at the bit... Look at the reviews on Amazon. Literally multiple people had their axes break in the same exact spot. Hope yours doesnt do that
@@cosmicbilly That was a manufacturing problem around 2015-2017. They’ve commented on it and said it’s back under control. If you change the amazon reviews to show most recent you won’t see any more of that at all. This axe is a bargain.
I just bought this axe, got it on sale for 45$ (in Roumania), the only negative part was the grind.. but with a bit of work turns out just fine. And they upgraded the sheath, now it has that leather inner layer that protects the edge. The grain on the handle it's not that perfect like u may find on a more expensive axe.. like the gransfors (i do have a hatchet from them and it's just perfect) but since i don't plan on bringing down large trees, more like trimming around the house and some fire wood, i hope it will last. It came with no varnish, just oiled (by the smell i think it's linseed oil), just how i wanned. Over all, for now, i'm satisfied with the quality and the balance (it feels great in my hands, i can swing it all day long) truly an all purpose axe.
Looks pretty impressive, I'd like to see how it splits, especially hardwoods. I just bought a Husq small spitting axe, same thing, the finish is rough and there is even a chip in the edge. Huge head compared to Gransfors small splitting axe, odd geometry too.
Sadly, its a horrible splitter. Have the exact same one for a year now and mostly had to split birch with it, that is, to say... Frustrating and paingull. Its mostly due to geometry, that is made for falling trees and cutting deep. Splitting axes are usually waay thicker and are wedge shaped. This one is more of a spatula design, so the only splitting that happens is around the eye, and maan, its a long way to get there. Otherwise its a really good axe and is one of my most prized tools!
Once again, awsome video. I think that's a really good deal for the price. I have the GB Scandinavian and love it. I'd buy the Husgvarna and be just as happy.
I thought it was cool that you gave wranglerstar props. I enjoyed your video. I ordered this axe off of Amazon. Hopefully it will be here in a couple of days.
No they're not. Last time i checked Gransfors bruks axes don't snap at the bit where the husqvarna logo is... Theres tons of reviews from people who bought this axe and the bit snapped off right where the logo is. Not just once or twice.. but alot of people experience the same exact thing.
@@joshuadocter2277 the issue was their makers mark being too deep. Thats why they all break in the same spot... every Husqvarna multi purpose axe i see has really deep markers marks which scares me because that obviously means the steal is compromised in that area... I really want to love this axe. Aesthetically it's beautiful. But im worried i would snap the bit off as soon as i use it on some harder knotty wood.. The Hultafors felling axe looks more like an axe for me.
Say Heah, When I finally got my 26" Husqvarna, It looked great, But on closer inspection there was a little glue around the eye, That didn't bother me But the eye was defective, That bothered since safety is paramount on a axe. So Robert at Bailey's was very nice and I was able to exchange it for a Ochsenkopf Axe which I am familiar with Iltis since I had a House Axe made with a Iltis Oxhead, Yeah I got a close size Axe to the Husqvarna, I got the 260 E-1257, it's 700mm heft and 2.2lbs head, But I got it with the steel sleeve and eye plate and I just paid the difference, Thanx Robert at Bailey's. Eugene can your father make a heavy duty sheath with sling like my 24" Council Wood Craft Pack Axe, Lemme know Puh-lease.
Yes,I've seen the sheath for sale on Amazon,though it's always out of stock.The ax itself on Amazon is $77 + free shipping.I have the Husqy hatchet,and use it alot.Not shaving sharp,but came with a decent factory edge.I' m checking the reviews on the ax before I buy it.Sure would save alot of time using an ax over a saw,assuming it's kept sharp.But the reason I use a saw is that I want a clean cut when building a shelte,r or say, poles for a tripod,etc.Nevertheless,for clearing an area of small trees,an ax would be what I'd need.Thanks for the review.
+Russell Suender, the sheaths will be up for sale shortly, check back soon. It's difficult to keep with the demand. Also, about axes vs saws: having used both, I'd say that a good saw is actually quicker and more efficient at cutting down a small tree, but an axe always has its place.
I believe having an ax should be a must for the wood'sman.Though I have the Husqvarna hatchet,which is more for carving,and carpentry chores,as well as a Bahco Laplander folding saw in my pack,a decent Swedish ax is a necessity as well.Could you possibly email me at r_suend111@yahoo.com to let me know when these sheaths(actually known as ax or hatchet "mask")are available again?Thanks for your speedy reply.
Praise God, indeed. Nice axe. I am looking to buy a wood-handled axe, either a Gransfor-Bruk or Helko or other good axe, but I do like the Husky except there a bunch of comments on Amazon with photos of broken axe heads, that broke evenly along the temper line. You might mention that after reviewing the comments yourself if you do another Husky review. And NICE sheath. I will definitely buy one from you if I buy the Husqvarna,
Beautiful sheath. I have this axe which I love but have never been a fan of the factory sheath. Keeping an eye out on amazon. Plan to order one as soon as they are available again. Thanks for the video.
Lol... The stealth is nearly the same price as the axe. I get that you want to sell these but the sheath that comes with it is 100% suitable for the head and nothing wrong with it. Very nice sheath but not worth the money.
Sensibility_offender Your an idiot . You don't understand value and that sheath clearly isn't worth what it's priced at . I could make one nice for 10$ . I'm not wasting money on something that I don't need when it came with one perfectly fine . It's like putting a new engine in a brand new car .
I just bought a Counciltool Velvicut Saddle Axe and would LOVE to get a throat guard to match the ROG guards I have on my 13" and 19" Husqvarna's I have(and still plan to get the Multi Forest). Can you guys help me out?
First, I really appreciate your faith in God...it's great. Secondly, wow...if I had not of heard you speaking the other language I would have truly thought you were American. Well maybe you are American Idk...but your English is perfect! Btw what language were speaking at the end of the video?
Maybe it was just my luck then but I did not see any dings on mine, One great thing about this too is that I never have to sharpen mine! Whats your preferred way to sharpen.
Nice review; thanks! I'm glad to have found your video as I just got this axe today. I followed your link and ordered your sheath - looking forward to receiving it! I'm just south of Coeur d' Alene myself. What language were you speaking to your daughter? God bless you and your family!
ReviewOutdoorGear , I received the sheath and it's outstanding. I've just ordered a second one for my Hultafors Classic Hunting Axe 850G, which I discovered your sheath fits exactly (the axe head dimensions are nearly identical). Thanks for a great product and great videos! I love the one showing how the sheath is made too.
Nice vid bro... I'm new to axes and survival/bushcraft. I got a Husq Forest and my edge doesn't look great, I think I need to redo it. Yours edge looks beautiful. I've been looking for a way to do it. I could find "how to sharp an axe" in your playlist. But, I think I need to work its profile again... Any tips..?
Just ordered this axe based on your and Wranglerstar's videos. Can't wait to use it. Also, was that Russian at the end of the video? Are you from Russia? I have a cousin that was on a church mission in Russia for 2 years.
Eugene, I'm sending this info through your YT page as I'm not getting any response through your standard email . I have ordered TWO sheaths for this exact axe through Amazon and they both came with straps that were short by over an inch! (evidentiary pics have been sent with the emails I sent you)Even after moving the throat guard down and out of the way it was almost an inch short of the snaps connecting! I plan to order my (hopefully final) sheath for this Husqvarna 26" Multipurpose axe directly through your website as I subsequently plan to order a Council Tools 24" Woodcraft pack axe and will need a throat guard from you for it as well. PLEASE RESPOND SO I KNOW THIS IS ALL GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF! Bill Doyle(and thank you as always!)
@@ReviewOutdoorGear Eugene, I assume you and your dad are busy and have absolutely no doubt you will make right on this. A- I have not rcv'd a response as of yet(and yes, I did check my spam folder too). I'm not wasting my time with Amazon as they can only process orders. What I need as you can see from the three images I sent you today is a sheath for this particular axe with a strap at least an inch longer than what I have been rcv'g. Yes, I have your throat guard installed but as you can see from the third picture I sent this morning it is still short even if I move the guard out of the way which has not been necessary on the 13" curved handle hatchet nor the Council Tools Hudson Bay Axe that I have set up similarly. I am not looking for anything free and fully intend to pay for my wares but this has been frustrating beyond belief! Bill Doyle
Great video - I am looking for a camping/backpacking axe. I am in between this Multipurpose axe and the Husqvarna Carpenters axe that you also reviewed. For processing wood for a fire - which would be better in your opinion? Thanks!
Just buy the gransfors bruks large forest axe sheath since it’s the EXACT SAME AXE literally down to the length axe head size and all that. Literally copied , wouldn’t be surprised if the blacksmiths that left GBA went to Husqvarna and said they could make a “similar” axe and just did the same thing lol
will the YAE sheath for the 26 inch axe work for the 13 inch hatchet? I noticed same dimensions listed on amazon. But amazon is out of 13 inch hatchet sheaths.
What did you use to get the deep grind marks off the bit? Basically, how did you polish the bit. I have this axe and i have been using sandpaper and it looks much better, but the deeper grindmarks are very stubborn. I wish i had a belt sander or orbital sander, it would go alot faster than by hand.
Gavin McDonnell , send me a private message, and we can discuss options...I can't seem to activate the ability to ship to Europe on Amazon..If I figure it out, I'll let you know as well.
After watching your awesome review, I went ahead and purchased this axe for Christmas. Was also lucky enough to purchase your sheath for Christmas as well. Super lucky that it came in the dark brown version. I even sanded it down and did the boiled linseed oil as well. Took it out last week for the first time and cracked the handle by overstriking. I'm super bummed and am wondering if this is covered under the warranty to send back? Or do I just chalk this up as a loss due to lack of chopping wood experience? I have your awesome sheath now with no axe. What do you think I should do? I see that amazon now is selling tihs axe for 60 bucks. last time I ordered from amazon, they sent me the carpenter's axe by mistake. I'd hate to go through that again. Now I am torn between just going with the fiskers x25 while I am getting some practice or do you think i should try my luck again with the husqvarna? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Again, your sheath is awesome! Cheers!
+Montreal Yess , No. Most of the axe head is softer metal (only cutting edge is tempered), so if you use it as a hammer it might widen and handle could become loose.
*Brother, You may be one experienced outdoorsman, but if I may give you a piece of advice, **9:34** NEVER ever shave branches with feet on each side of the log. Because the axe may ricochet into your shin.I had a friend, who insisted on doing exactly like you did on **9:34**.. I said, stop, don't stand in that position. Idiot continued, and what do you know, the axe hit his shin..You should stand on the opposite side of the log where you are shaving branches of, that way, if you miss, it will ricochet outwards away from you and won't hit your leg as you're protected by the log itself.* //Jay Rex Instagram: solisoutdoors
Wanted one of these axes until I just read some amazon reviews. A lot of people had their axe heads break! And Husqvarna wouldn't help after only 90 days. NO THANKS! I don't do business with companies like that.
Exactly! And from what ive been reading its STILL a problem. Peoples who bought this axe said it broke the same day they bought it. Waste of money. Glad i didnt buy it. Its a beautiful axe... Just not really reliable.
Cosmic Billy the axe is still in great condition and of great quality. I cleaned the handle up with linseed oil and fire burned it a touch. The axe head is great still works great and is good quality it is just too light for heavy chopping. I prefer a heavier head for chopping but for small stuff and limbing and pounding wedges t works great(assuming they’re plastic)
Learn how to cut a tree properly, learn how to aim. Also just because the axe cuts paper doesn't mean the cutting geometry is good (it's crap from new). Also no mention of the terrible fat handle these come with, the poly finish that should be removed... List goes on. I have one of these axes and I love it but straight from the store it needs a lot of work (beyond just polishing the edge).. You and Wranglegodboy can go praise whoever you like but if you keep cutting trees like that and having them fall in your face you won't be prising no-one.
I'd love to see your video on reprofiling the edge geometry and proper axemanship. I also have this axe and it didn't come with a poly coating on the handle. I just lightly sanded it and put boiled linseed oil on it.

Even with out a Welt on the sheath (which there should be). The brass rivets shouldn't deny or affect the steal edge. Brass is Much softer.
eh I wouldn't be so sure of that. If you took a wood working axe and struck a giant lump of brass, it would still blunt it.
Yeah that's why they use brass, that chip may be from something else or maybe faulty tempering in the bit

This is a very good axe, the curved handle is not a safe handle however. The axe would be a lot safer with a straight handle.
These are Hults bruk axes...great axe maker..Every bit as good as Gransfor for sure

Links in the description:)
+ReviewOutdoorGear says it is currently unavailable to purchase...
yes, will become available soon.
Just buy the gransfors bruks large forest axe sheath since it’s the EXACT SAME AXE literally down to the length axe head size and all that. Literally copied , wouldn’t be surprised if the blacksmiths that left GBA went to Husqvarna and said they could make a “similar” axe and just did the same thing lol
The cover is not to protect the axe. It is to protect everything else.
how much for husky sheath im interested im in ontario canada
you mean the one made by Husqvarna that I don't like? Or the handmade replacement?
Хорошо по-русски говоришь!
Yes Praise God! Love your love for God!
Many Blessings 😊
this axe is now $224 on amazon
So you can’t even pound wedges in while felling a tree?
That would be acceptable. You just aren’t supposed to pound steel on steel. Composite felling wedges are just fine to pound.
Do the Multipurpose and Carpenters axes have the same size eyehole?
will the YAE sheath for the 26 inch axe work for the 13 inch hatchet? I noticed same dimensions listed on amazon. But amazon is out of 13 inch hatchet sheaths.
+Cory Vanliere , the strap is different lengths on them, significantly longer on the 26 inch axe sheath.
+ReviewOutdoorGear Thank you!
Great video.
That is a very very deep makers mark
Yup. Which causes all of their axe heads to snap off on the bit. To this day it is still an issue.
hand made one thank you
I sent you a message, check your inbox :)
What did you use to get the deep grind marks off the bit? Basically, how did you polish the bit. I have this axe and i have been using sandpaper and it looks much better, but the deeper grindmarks are very stubborn. I wish i had a belt sander or orbital sander, it would go alot faster than by hand.
Used a good quality file and then sharpening stones and then finally sand paper.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear thanks!
You have video of u sharping axe
Yes
Hey great video... I live in Ireland so Amazon won't let the sheath ship here... any suggestions?
Gavin McDonnell , send me a private message, and we can discuss options...I can't seem to activate the ability to ship to Europe on Amazon..If I figure it out, I'll let you know as well.
DO YOU MAKE A SHEATH FOR A OCHSENKOPF OX 20 H-1257 ?
I need a sheath for this axe please
After watching your awesome review, I went ahead and purchased this axe for Christmas. Was also lucky enough to purchase your sheath for Christmas as well. Super lucky that it came in the dark brown version. I even sanded it down and did the boiled linseed oil as well. Took it out last week for the first time and cracked the handle by overstriking. I'm super bummed and am wondering if this is covered under the warranty to send back? Or do I just chalk this up as a loss due to lack of chopping wood experience? I have your awesome sheath now with no axe. What do you think I should do? I see that amazon now is selling tihs axe for 60 bucks. last time I ordered from amazon, they sent me the carpenter's axe by mistake. I'd hate to go through that again. Now I am torn between just going with the fiskers x25 while I am getting some practice or do you think i should try my luck again with the husqvarna? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Again, your sheath is awesome!
Cheers!
+Kacia Sato Where did you buy the axe from?
+ReviewOutdoorGear , Aardvark Trading via amazon.com
+Kacia Sato why not just replace the handle yourself? You can order a new handle or make one. It isn't that hard to hang the heads to a handle.
It's c60 steel
In a pinch can the back be used to hammer in nails or is it to smooth?
+Batman The Superman Killer , yes it can
so its not good if i use it as a hammer?
+Montreal Yess , No. Most of the axe head is softer metal (only cutting edge is tempered), so if you use it as a hammer it might widen and handle could become loose.
you not comparing like with like
is that a wettterlings or a hultafors?
Axe head is forged by wetterlings.
+ReviewOutdoorGear thank you sir , nice videos.
great! I like your video and
Who else uses those round wedges?

+keith geringer , a few are available on amazon now :)
+ReviewOutdoorGear doesent ship to my area :(
*Brother, You may be one experienced outdoorsman, but if I may give you a piece of advice, **9:34** NEVER ever shave branches with feet on each side of the log. Because the axe may ricochet into your shin.I had a friend, who insisted on doing exactly like you did on **9:34**.. I said, stop, don't stand in that position. Idiot continued, and what do you know, the axe hit his shin..You should stand on the opposite side of the log where you are shaving branches of, that way, if you miss, it will ricochet outwards away from you and won't hit your leg as you're protected by the log itself.*

Nice 👍🏻
just save up a little more and get a wetterlings
This is a wetterlings. Did you not listen to the review?
What did you use to reprofile and sharpen bro??
I have a video about that: th-cam.com/video/NjEv0VqXtlw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ReviewOutdoorGear
Are you still making the sheeth for the ax
Yes
See our website
please contact me about sheaths, I have a couple of questions too so please e-mail me, , ,
Can YAE sheaths be bought in Canada
Yes
Any word in the sheaths?
+TheChase0378 Available now!
Every sheath I have ever had that came with a knife or axe I threw away and made my own. I hate factory made sheaths.
Please don't chop your foot off
Wanted one of these axes until I just read some amazon reviews. A lot of people had their axe heads break! And Husqvarna wouldn't help after only 90 days. NO THANKS! I don't do business with companies like that.
Exactly! And from what ive been reading its STILL a problem. Peoples who bought this axe said it broke the same day they bought it. Waste of money. Glad i didnt buy it. Its a beautiful axe... Just not really reliable.
how do you have like, no accent?
+Aidan Buckingham-Taylor , moved here when I was young
+ReviewOutdoorGear oh that makes sense 😀
Do not buy this as thinking your going to do heavy chopping it’s far too light I bought mine thinking this and I learned the hard way
Let me guess.... The tip of the axe bit snapped off right across the logo?
Cosmic Billy the axe is still in great condition and of great quality. I cleaned the handle up with linseed oil and fire burned it a touch. The axe head is great still works great and is good quality it is just too light for heavy chopping. I prefer a heavier head for chopping but for small stuff and limbing and pounding wedges t works great(assuming they’re plastic)
more like a sheath advertisement...
you should try to cut old nibong tree with that axe and the nice word wont come out.😅😅😅
Ashton Kutcher reviews axes now. lol
+Returning Shadow gotta do what you gotta do.
Poor mans gransfors scandi forest axe?
Learn how to cut a tree properly, learn how to aim. Also just because the axe cuts paper doesn't mean the cutting geometry is good (it's crap from new). Also no mention of the terrible fat handle these come with, the poly finish that should be removed... List goes on. I have one of these axes and I love it but straight from the store it needs a lot of work (beyond just polishing the edge).. You and Wranglegodboy can go praise whoever you like but if you keep cutting trees like that and having them fall in your face you won't be prising no-one.
I'd love to see your video on reprofiling the edge geometry and proper axemanship. I also have this axe and it didn't come with a poly coating on the handle. I just lightly sanded it and put boiled linseed oil on it.
when i was young ,we didnt have axes we had to punch the trees with our fists (minecraft joke : 3)

Try a Husqvarna chainsaw. You may never pick up an axe again.
+Bill Astell We use Stihl chainsaws. Chopping with an axe is still fun! :)
Gonna go camping with a chainsaw from now on, thanks.
Bill Astell Can you suggest a good backpacking/bushcraft chainsaw?
Praise god. 😅which one....?
