It makes feathersticks, it throws sparks, it battons, it hacks.. just look other Videos ... it is also good for hunting.. it is also a camp knife. It works for self defence. It is perfect. Greetings from Austria.

Here in the boreal forests of north Texas, on the edge of the tundra, we need a true felling ax to make wood and sod shelters when the temps drop below 50 F. It can mean the difference between life and death.
@michalurbanful Ай бұрын
Nice comparison and review. :) What I find mildly annoying about the OA is the protective collar. My opinion is it should either be longer (I mean I usually damage my axe's handles because of an overstrike which this collar will not help against) or gone.
@johnhelms8226 29 күн бұрын
Agree. Don’t understand the design of that overstrike guard.

Wow that's great. And i have a question, I'm gonna begin camping and bushcraft. I have a full Tang knife 5 mm thick. I have a saw. Do i need to buy a hatchet for my backpack and camping or it's not needed?
@scottmoore5839 Ай бұрын
Those are all camp knifes for the most part not bushcraft
@wildwaybushcraftuk Ай бұрын
Really? What would you class as a bushcraft knife?
@scottmoore5839 Ай бұрын
@@wildwaybushcraftuk Must be able to easily baton wood logs, be used as an impromptu machete or ax when needed, as well as be used as a conventional knife. All your choices are fine but not up to the task of a true bushcraft knife, they are too small and too thin in the spine. they are great as camp knifes but that's where it ends. I live in Montana, - ESSE makes quit a few, as well as the White River FC5 Firecraft. 1095 steel is excellent and so is S35VN, but there are many out there that will do the job, Its just when I hear the word bushcrafter to me it means - Do everything knife. Build a shelter, quarter a moose, baton wood, survival, etc. you just need something a little stouter than the ones in your vid. The word Bushcrafter is thrown around a little too much these days, Bushcrafter knife does not mean outdoor knife to me. Its means I can survive with just this one knife for a long long time. it's not the best at anything but can do everything.

Sounds like you’re describing a survival knife.
@svenschmalfu3093 2 ай бұрын
Yeah, but 175.-€ is a high price for this thing. Even the GB Scandi cost less. And you have a 64cm handle. And for ca. 90.-€ you could become a 800g w60cm handle 'Bison Oberharzer 1879' This is half the price! I think this is a great camp axe. Maybe you can do a comparison with that!

Now i have seen Husqvarna Wood Axe 850g cost 80.- € It looks almost indentical to the GB Scandi, and also half price. Made bei HB..

How can you review a knife and not sharpen it yourself? If you don't like the edge angle and microbevel, put on yoir own, better one.
@wildwaybushcraftuk 2 ай бұрын
It was more about the way it came out of the box. Re shaping the edge was not in the brief
@D00MTR33 2 ай бұрын
@@wildwaybushcraftuk I got that. I don't give much regard to factory edge and expect them to be sub par (it's a nice surprise when it's not). I typically sharpen most knives straight from the box. Shows me how good the steel feels and I can put on the edge angle and finish i want. I was saying, I don't see how anyone can review a knife without sharpening it because you don't know how easy it is or how the steel feels. Plus if a factory edge lasted long enough to do everything you needed for a review, it's either an amazing steel or it wasn't tested that much. Just my opinion.

I have to agree that the background music is really distracting and has an adverse effect on the video. But otherwise the content is aces. I use a parang where I am as well, rather than an axe for the same reason. The parang will handle 90% of the tasks, and a small blade will take care of the rest.

Waxed fire cord inside paracord is not new. I liked the necklace ferro rod and striker, one of the better ones i have seen, so i purchased one. I got rid of the magnetic cord. The snap magnet wasn't strong enough. Also the hexigan ferro rod design has been around awhile now also.it's a good design giving you more surface area to scrape. Good video.

Not much of a review tbh.. these are tippy, and spill quite a bit of water while pouring. You can fix both problems - get a win pouring metal disk, and stab some stakes or tent pegs around the burner to hold it in place. As for the melting neoprene, comes with the territory of wood fires.

The SFA is harldly dead. It's very good and popular. But the SFA and the Åby are very different, for different uses. The Åby is longer, has a much thicker and heavier head, and is therefore heavier overall. The thick head makes it less of a felling axe and more of a splitting axe. Both are very good all around axes, but with different focuses.
