Lovely bit of time in the woods 👊 I like how you set a nice pace and just kept the axe moving.

It seems that the axe is heavier than what you're used to, but the work appears to be done with little effort - what a great axe. Been fighting the urge to get one, they're fairly pricey...

Hahaha Ben and Seth bullied me into getting one. Totally worth it if you're going to get a lot of use out of one. I'm just plodding along trying to pace myself with it in this video to see what it's like as a working tool. I will probably have a go at some underhand chopping with it sometime and crank it up a gear but ideally I'd like some chainmail first

@@elemental4rce its definitely better to pace yourself like what you demonstrated. Most accidents happen when you tire yourself or get complacent and unfortunately I can speak from experience. It's nice to see a big bruiser of an axe being used for more than just racing

@@elemental4rce: Yeah...you were tossing that thing around like I do a 3.5 pounder! I just acquired one of Tuatahi's CHINA axes. I must say...for fittysum dollars they're pretty damn impressive. I'll just have to be careful until I know what kind of heat treat it has. It does pass the file test...so I know it's hard...just not how hard. I'm still looking for a decent racing handle...but I guess I have till spring to find one. In the mean time I can start working my way up with my barely used Hytest 4.5# Craftsman with the paint still intact! The head measures 189mm X 140mm...pretty close to factory dimensions. I caught the axe bug back when I had a wood stove to feed...now I'm mainly a collector...but chop wood for fun. Thanks for the demo video.

did you stain or burn the handle? What do you think about this being a splitting axe? Sadly I don't get to do much if any bucking and felling these days so would only really be used to split my firewood. Do you think it would suit that purpose? Thanks for your input greatly appreciated mate

Definitely not worth it unless you really want to spend £350+ for an axe just to split wood. Best axes in the world imho but there are better splitters that cost a tenth of the price.

That thing’s a beast! You only had to a stack your cuts twice on a pretty sizeable log. With the boy’s axe’s I’m used to I’d stack the bit 3-4 times per side. Do you think they’re worth the money?

I’ve got enough time in and 120 acres of hardwoods, but I have no interest in timber sports. For me it’s just fun in the woods and good exercise. I actually prefer light axes. My dream axe would be 2.75lbs-3lbs on a 29” handle. Just can’t seem to locate one. Do you know of one?

@@KevinsDisobedience Kevin Ochsenkopf makes one without any paint on the head. The Ochsenkopf GEDORE OX 20 H-1257 Universal Forestry Axe, Hickory Handle 1250 g. 1250 grams is exactly 2.76 lbs. It's an inch short of what you want but it is a very well made, extremely symmetrical head. It just needs sharpening and whatever you want to do with the handle but it isn't as bulky as Ochsenkopf's other handles like the Iltis.
