I've had mine for a couple of years and enjoy using it. The grind and shape are not suitable for chopping, splitting, forestry or bushcraft use. It's definitely not a general purpose tool. But it's great for some hewing and shaping along the grain. I abused mine a few times and have the chips to remind myself what not to do every time I take it out for use.

I love mine, plan on getting another one.

I agree with your assessment of the husky carpenters axe. Mine almost never gets used.

Always an interesting and informative watch Trev. I regularly take away some new knowledge from you. Congrats on the subs too buddy. Very well deserved indeed. Atb, J 👍.

Congrats on 500!

thank you

Great axe,, so sharp,,

I am Japanese. "I'm interested in Hutafoe's carpenters ax." Of course, it is to use it in the mood of a Japanese sword. "I'm interested in this straight handle. I'd like to touch it because the straight line of the blade is the same as a Japanese hatchet." "Perhaps, I think that there are only two husqvarna curved handles. Maybe that's the good thing about Westerners.

Very informative, thanks.

Thoughtful video. I agree it's not a general purpose axe but a more specialized tool.

While I agree that this axe can probably do more than the name suggests, it would likely be a compromise in all areas and not do any one task best. Also, great work thinning down the handle. Looks much better now.

Well thought-out vid I reckon, 500 subs👍 Bought one of these about 5 years ago and came to the same conclusion. Cool axe, good value, has potential, but never really found a solid role for it. I have used it in conjunction with a mallet to clean up joints and shape tenons in rural timber fencing, and use it occasionally to split some kindling to start the forge. Bought a longer handle for it to convert into a limbing axe (combined with reshaping the bit), but even that I never got around to. All that aside though, it's still in my shed, but in the "one day" pile. Has a lot of potential, I'm just not sure for what!👍

They also make this axe with a curved bit. Makes me wonder if it has a different edge geometry.

Halo my friend thank you for sharing New friend here I like it

I have actually been considering getting one of these at one point. After watching this I am glad I didn't. Stubai used to make a fairly cheap and readily available side axe. I bought one about 12 years ago and to be honest I don't rate it much. What I like best for carpentry and carving tasks is the old Kent pattern axes. Bear in mind that I don't spend a lo of money on axes. But I think the Kent pattern and other old English axes are very much underrated. Nice video Trev mate. Very informative.

I just bought that axe. It’s not general purpose. More of a heavy carver. I’m finding it useful. It did need a good sharpening and some slimming of the handle, but all the critical elements are there for a pretty good price. I wouldn’t recommend it as a general purpose bush crafting axe. I would as a general purpose moderately heavy carver. Felling , limbing and splitting is not its strong point.

504 tuyệt vời bạn ơi 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

Great video. I have the carpenters axe. What do you think about me trying to grind the bottom inside out more to take a little weight off of the bit? I figure it will just give it a more pronounced beard but I don't know much about potential ramifications

Where’d you get that edition of Cook’s book? I’ve never seen that cover before.

Is the eye size the same on both axes?

My husqvarna carpenter it's not sharpened , did you do this for your axe or buy it ready to use ?

you held up a carving hatchet in this video,could you tell me the maker

Hey mate, watching again. Just noticed, is that a spear up on the wall behind you?

What brand carving axe did you show? Perhaps I missed it.

A carpentry axe is used to take heavy stock removal cuts trim down to an 1/8" before you plane.why would you buy it for bushcraft horses for courses

I thought you might take more off the handle dude. Looks like a good all-around axe for chippy work. Kind of odd criticism of the axe to be fair dude. The most issues were out of context for the tool. Carpentry work ain't felling, or bushcraft work, and traditional carpentry tools are weighted heavy for daily use. It's horses for courses.

Pure garbage
