You do not need to rest the axe head on anything when you are driving the handle in. Hold the axe head facing down by the middle of the handle. Strike the heal of the handle with a mallet. Remember an object at rest tents to stay at rest until acted on, bla bla, you remember middle school. The axe head will want to stay in place while the handle is driven into the eye. This will prevent the steel from being peened.
If this is how Cold Steel mounts their Axe Gang Handles, it explains why I have NINE Axe heads with no handles. First 3 bought in 2019 used for throwing. Worked great for 3 months then succumbed to wear and tear- ALL Cold Steel Axe gang Hatchets bought after broke within days. I immediately noticed a drop in the quality of the handles -some were even loose. The company became a reliable disappointment.
Same here. Any idea on replacement handles that aren't garbage? The ones mine came with were definitely not hickory. One of them broke on my first throw while sticking it. I was not happy .
All well and good but that time he messed up the knife's edge for no good reason (4:36) made me cringe in disgust. There's plenty of perfectly usable pieces of wood laying around in that shop! Even the table top is made of some kind of particle board that would've done the trick without damaging the edge.
It’s a little known fact, but the axe was actually invented by Albert Einstein (the greatest guitarists from the beatles) when he stubed is toe really hard on the corner of a stair case and found out that corners were really effective for cutting. The more you know
I got one of these and did some personalization to it. I shortened the handle and added a heat wrap for extra grip. I wanted to ask if you could patch scuffs on the paint with nail polish instead of taking off the whole head. I also don’t care if it doesn’t hold up as well as spray paint
How about build it right in the first place. Is this overstrike breakage just because the head sits on a shelf created by the handle? If so I'd like to see this hung on a more suitable handle.
Where can I get a replacement handle? Mine just split in half after the third day of using it. And I cant find a replacement for the life of me. Thanks
After you fix that axe handle , you should check out the blade on your Voyager XL , you hit that vise pretty hard with the blade and i think everyone knew that it was going to happen ....
Great but there's a problem: no more of those Chinese writings present in your original handle :-/ So my advice is, buy two Cold Steel Axe Gang Hatchet, and keep one as display only :-)
It broke because the grain orientation is running the wrong way. You don't get many with good grain. They make more money selling replacement crap handles!

This guy needs to spend some time in an axe group, learn the ropes.

Polska na Angielskim RUclips-ie !!!!!!
Not to worry its a cold steel product.
Never understood how axes are built until this video. Thank you for the info.
Outside of the CRK side by side test this is my favorite CS video I've seen!
I like where y’all are going with this style of video.
You guys should make nunchakus made out of your indestructible polypropylene that it’s used in your baseball bats.
Awesome video!!!

This was right after of course, he came home in his flying saucer after smoking some good kush with the flying spaghetti monster.
But you don't sell replacement handles! So what's the point?!
Yes they do. Email them
Wow!!! Immediately see, the man hands to work ! Greetings from Russia !!!
Hello from America, how is things over there?
I got one of these and did some personalization to it. I shortened the handle and added a heat wrap for extra grip. I wanted to ask if you could patch scuffs on the paint with nail polish instead of taking off the whole head. I also don’t care if it doesn’t hold up as well as spray paint
But where do I get a new handle

Is this fit better than the tomahawk fit? Or like what's the pros and cons
Where can I get a replacement handle? Mine just split in half after the third day of using it. And I cant find a replacement for the life of me. Thanks
How can they fail making axe handles? Tons of much cheaper axes that hold for decades.

Cool weapon
Do these break often?

Good night!!

Ayyyyy I’m early
Getting the wood out of the head is always the most time consuming!
I remember marveling at the selection in the Cold Steel stores in the malls (1980's)...but this method of hanging a handle is not good.
