I know absolutely nothing about axes. Other then swinging them to cut wood, which I’ve done maybe 5 times in my life. I found this video to be invaluable to me. Thank you so much for this video. I hope to see more ax videos in the future. Thanks again Kevin and FieldCraft

Interesting. I learn something useful every time I watch.

I love my Gränsfors small forest axe 🪓! Anyone who owns one will never be disappointed.

As a grade school kid, I read a book once called "Hatchet" Great video.

Just started reading bushcraft 101... this couldn’t have come at a better time. TY guys!

That sir was a damn fine lesson and video! Thank you! I shared with the whole family.

I'm glad you posted a video like this. I've been looking getting a field ax.

My Gränsfors small forest axe is literally one of my most coveted pieces of kit and worth the weight on any trip

Great video, Axe maintenance is almost a lost skill. Thank you for teaching the NEXT generation.

My wife has a Gransfors Bruk Small Forest Axe, I have the Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe and hopefully I'll have the Gransfors Bruk American Felling Axe in the near future. Gransfors makes killer axes that perform. I have a Husqvarna 26" Multipurpose Forest Axe that was half the price of the Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe and the Husqvarna is pretty sweet too, it just needs a little love, the grind isn't the best.

Great video, lots of good information! I have a Woodcraft 20" axe from Council Tool that has a hardened poll for hammering if needed. Both head and handle are made in USA for those that are looking for the rare items still made here.

Love my GB Small Forest Axe! Razor sharp.

I use a Fiskars made in Sweden. It's great.

Now that's timing. I've recently been thinking of purchasing a new axe. Thanks for all the tidbits of information!

Man that shirt looks super comfy. Great video as always. Learned a lot.

Great information and very well presented by Kevin.

Excellent video!! Thank you.

Great information as always.

Awesome job! I really appreciate you for sharing your knowledge.

Anyone know what jacket he's wearing?

Great video! A lot of good information, thanks for sharing

My hults burk pack axe is amazing for me and Ben very useful on several hunting trips.

Cool and first! Yet would prefer u guys talk about the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk axes in the future.

great information, especially the cold characteristics of an Ax. recently came across a video about an Ax from "Autine". A beautiful ax made in Latvia. set you back 500.00. six month lead time.

Great video! Thanks for the knowledge!

I wasn't aware I needed to know so much...great video thank yoh!

Love this guy's knowledge.

So much to learn, thank you.

Knowledge is currency and I got just a little more wealthy 🙏 great video

Definitely learned a lot from walkthrough.

Thanks for showing us your axes

Speaking on swings and blade length... I train with swords and threw a knife cut in anger at a tree, cut through the tree and stopped at the top of my shin. Lesson one, use your elbow as a stop. Lesson Two, stop. Lesson Three, don't swing in anger. Lesson Four, Super Glue and laying supine with your legs above your heart on your downstairs toilet can save you a $500+ ER visit... Just lots of glue... and a little less bone in the leg area...

The most important tool for the outdoors/ it’s like a department store 😁

Useful knowledge thanks for sharing

That my brother was a great video. I learned much. Thanks. May our great Elohim bless you

Link to the sharpening puck?

Im going to teach my children all about axe maintnence

heck of a knowledge thankyou sir

i like to heat up my blades and use frog lube on them. it works great to prevent rust.

I really think if you're going to carry an axe, use one to spilt wood/kindling, fell trees, whatever, you need to know how to hang a head on a handle and how to sharpen for the task at hand. If you're splitting firewood you don't need a razor-sharp, thin profiled head. But if you're felling a tree you DO want a thin profile and a very sharp edge. etc. I owned a couple Norwegian axes, eventually sold them once I realized how rewarding it is to just refurbish an old Plumb, etc from the '30's-50's, pick out a handle blank that you shape to your hands, then hang the head on the handle. You can have the quality of a $300-500 axe for about $50-70 and a few hours time if you know what to look for and where to find it. I'm not a great carpenter/woodworker or anything; if I can do it, anyone can, lol. Just have a cheap head and store-bought handle for your first practice run, as you'll probably split the wedge your first time until you find a technique that works for you. I personally make a wedge out of spare hickory or rock maple (I've even used the wood from a shipping pallet before and it worked great) shaped to fit as tightly length-wise as possible while still being a fit, then use a tiny bit of wood glue and a "swell lock" compound on the wedge and handle. I then brace it on an anvil that is covered with a towel, wedge/head down, then use a shot mallet on the bottom of the handle. Keep driving it until the wedge will no longer insert (if you push past this point that's when you break the wedge) and then saw it off wherever you want. I've had more success this way than by driving the wedge in by hitting it with a mallet itself. Some like a flush fit with the eye, I personally like to leave 1/4in or so. Going this route a metal wedge isn't needed (though you could still use one to be safe) Oh, and the best way to test if an axe head is hung properly (especially important if buying used) is to sink it into a realy large round or standing dead tree. Then give the handle a shake from the furthest point possible (use the leverage to your advantage) while looking for any signs of movement at the eye and the base of the head. If there's a fraction of a millimeter of play, you'll find it this way when you otherwise wouldn't by just tugging on it with your hand.

Knowledge!!

Interesting stuff .TKS👍

Now I have to buy an axe.

Support timber knives, they have a wonderful store

So Scandinavian Forrest axe > small Forrest axe. Got it

As a filipino, fully appreciated the filipino joke

Love some gransfors. But technique and safety trumps brand.

Yeah, almost sliced off my thumb with a hatchet.

Love my Ray mers, had a guy offer me $500 but I turned it down.

💮

First video from your company I've seen, that the guy isn't full of shit

I wanted to Axe you guys a question? Would that be alright? (pun intended)

🤙🌿

17 minutes about axes? 😳

情報に忝いでござる

Wouldn't it be weird if highly visible military veterans acted normal instead of cravenly seeking to monetize their viewers in their post military role as social media influencers? Wouldn't it be weird if they called out the seditious acts instead of fearing that they would lose subscribers? Wouldn't that be weird?

Y’all are still missing a black rifle after what they did the Rittenhouse

Tomahawks might be inefficient cutting tools but they are fantastic killing tools. I would take one over a gun anytime.

Lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
