I clicked on this guy a few days earlier out of boredom.
Here I am, after like 20 videos later, knowing all kinds of things about axes :))
The knowledge he shares Is definitely useful but it is different when you do this for yourself.
Doing the same, and I live in a city ...
Psssh, I'm not going to watch an 18 minute unboxing video...
(18 minutes later)
...dang it.
+Akademee ha!
Haha
2 years late but i just got the hatchet for 37 dollars.
Lol yeah time is weird
Watch it at 2X speed: All the information and half the disappointment.
Cody, none of Europe has hickory trees. There are 5,000 year old hickory fossils, but they were wiped out during a climactic change and never came back. Eastern Asia has 3-5 varieties, but they've never made it over the mountains into Europe. America has just about 20 varieties of hickory. Early European settlers took a while to recognize the benefits of hickory.
Thanks for the info!
Rodger P who needs hickory when u have black locust? I mean it’s probably got 90% of the hardness and strength of hickory with nearly the same modulus of elasticity I believe and grows like five times as fast. Hungarian varieties can grow like hybrid poplars. Check the wood database.
England ash is very popular
That was a cool present, can't wait to watch them in action!
if I was an axe manufacturer. you would be my chief consultant.
+Steven DiGregorio Thank you Steven,
Simp
Elias Harben you dumbass he said that 4 years ago
I think a lot of manufacturers don’t have any people that have ever even seen an axe
Your channel is calming and I like it.
I have no use for axes, but I really like watching his videos anyway! Very calming.
Cott14 you suck
I like it to
But at least I am not a baby
He’s like Bob Ross, but with axes.
I know this video is three years old but I truest enjoyed watching an unboxing of italian axes. New tools to me are really fun to watch unboxing. It’s that first impression. Great video! Did you do a follow up video for these axes? Would definitely like to see that video(s) also. Great channel! Super happy I stumbled upon it. ;-)
Especially since they’re such nice axes
That is more axes than you would ever need for the rest of your life :)
Thanks for sharing - Martin
You are going to be very busy trying out that little lot and I wish you luck getting past Mrs W with the wedge to put on display.
+MukyMik busted! mrsw :)
+Wranglerstar bwahhahh...when will they ever learn?
what happened to mrsw
I want that wedge
the last small hatchet and the pack axe you like is a Hudson Bay Style axe head. I have a couple different Norland axe & hatchet with the same design. Their founder went over to Sweden to understand the making of them. They were more prominent on the East Coast. So many of us on the West Coast were not as familiar with them. I was lucky since a couple friends informed me on them.
2 Videos the same Day?! Is this already Christmas 2016?
Thank you Cody
I know, right?
+Bauer power
yea totaly
almost christmas 2017 now
I used to collect axes and hatchets. I really appreciate the older ones that had home made handle's. I polished a couple and made custom handles. I also made my own sheaths for them.
My health got bad and I had to sale everything after I got on disability. I miss my Yukon hatchets the most
So many great axes deserve: That you put the name of producer in the title. "The Ultimate Axe Video Haul: ???
dang!! i would probably buy the one utility one that you like!
Well let's see if the steel is any good
+James WB its low carbon steel (0,45%) it has 0.6% of manganese. Prandi has the info on their webpage. the steels stats are not impressive.
+tomas lainas Here in the EU, historically speaking, Itally isn't known for it's quality steel, though it has improved (their cars were known to be rustbuckets, likely to do with the difference in climate from south vs north europe)... but from what i know of steels, the temper in the end is more important when it comes to tool applications.
TheJohn8765 Yeah, that pudding :) , looking forward to seeing the testing ... well Sweden has a high quality local source, not to sure about Italy or where this company gets their iron/steel from ... like I said, it's 'historically known', that for me is like 1960s or so when cars started to become more mainstream. Obviously these things have improved, especially now with global availability of resources ... so we will have to find out I guess, or rather, Cody will and we will learn by ear and eye ;)
Rich206L Yes yes you are entirely right, hence the extensive use of 'historically', and my often explanation that now a days these things are different (and the note on the climatic differences between Italie and Northern Europe).
Still though, not every steel is made the same for some reason, though some of it also has got to do (I think) with the heat treat given to a product. But, I have seen a documentary on Japenese sword making, and they select (hand pick) steel they forged from one batch into 3 main categories. Failed junk (discarded), Soft steel (used for the outside), and hard steel (used for the inside). Then they laminate the soft steel around the hard steel during forging creating these super swords.
Obviously you have also seen the older tools on this here channel (chisels mostly) that have these darker harder steels used a cutting edges, while the softer steel makes up the rest of the tool... But this has nothing to do with Italie or anything :) just steel in general... so yeah, again, you are absolutely right, and we won't know the quality of these things until they get a proper testing ;)
Rich206L Think he just put up one, I see axes ;) ... and yeah, the swords was more to illustrate the difference in steels, like the chisel there after. Cheers Rich :)
the big boy is my mind the best splitter in the bunch, if the wood selected is large rounds like the the fir you did the test on. more weight and good geometry gives it the edge. The trade off, as you aptly defined, is it takes more energy to put the process in motion. I have a good cache of axes to suit my needs, but the one missing from the tool shed is a proper splitting maul. I'm considering the Gransfors and I'm sure it will perform like a champ, but the big daddy " Bruticus " as you call her, has piqued my interest! Love the smell of fresh cut wood in the morning! Thx for sharing :)
Your gonna have some tough hands once you try all these bad boys. Man what a gift! I smell a subscriber giveaway?
You say your diaper needs a changing?
I like that wide blade hatchet. The last one the splitting axe with built in wedge was cool too. interested in seeing it work.
With all those samples Mrs W may have to bring food out to the wood pile. You will be testing (playing) with all the new types of axe's. I am interested in the faller's axe and the wide head short axe. Guess a new series or axe test video's are in order.
Hi Cody, we definitely share a love of good craftsmanship. I am with you on the varnish...sand it off. I would be really interested in a Wranglerstar Branded Axe. I am yet to own a good axe, and I have been holding off buying one due to the high cost of the Gransfors and Wetterlings, but I really am going to need a quality axe in the next 6 months.
Thanks so much for your awesome videos.
I guess the 1000 on the head was the weight, 2.2# or 1000 grams or 1 kg
+Kristyanna Virgona Yup it was
+Kristyanna Virgona circle gets a square!
+Kristyanna Virgona What I figured instantly too. Canada - metric.
A kilo seems real light for an axe head
Cant wait to see the price. I am actually only 3 hrs away from their factory, would be neat to get one from their main store as a souvenir from Italy.
Too early for HD, too late for 240p.
I like the shorter utility axe and the smaller headed hatchet. Like the short handled splitter.
how did i get here? this is what happens when you get bored on RUclips, looks like this time i ended up in the axe department,
still enjoyed the video though xD
Between the handles and fit and finish of the axe heads ,they are truly a work of art that you'll have fun using,,,totally jealous!
Guy
Hey Cody, long time no contributions from my side, so here's one, in case you're thinking on exporting your planned signature axes: Varnish on the handles?? Many many countries, including USA and Canada, are quite strict in terms of the import of untreated wood. Applying just oil, does not guarantee that the wood will not carry some kind of tree disease or pest, so exports manufacturers choose to apply varnish, as a way of simplifying their customs processes. In my country, Chile, many of these products come with no handles at all, for the very same reason! Otherwise they have to apply varnish or be willing to watch their shipments sit in customs quarantine for some extent of time.
Best regards to you and your beautiful family, from the other end of America.
Quite interesting. The hanks for that info.
+Ale Vera
Maybe this is why they come with American Hickory handles. Good points though.
+Ale Vera If you're from "the other end of America" with the way our politics are going, I guess that means you guys got the brain. (I love Chile, had a friend in Osorno.)
+Rodger Pitts Great to hear that!! Osorno is a beautiful area, specially if you like endless forests and pristine lakes!! Lovely people too!!
i am very intrigued by the second to last hatchet that came out. i have been looking for a reasonably large hatchet that is a multipurpose from chopping small fire wood to kindling.
There is almost 5k thumbs up on this one, so for 5K thumbs up we want to see the wedge video first.
Hi Cody, beautiful axes!
A note from my side, it sounds that the weight of the axe head is in Grams on the back of the head. I might be wrong but it sounds the most logical. Or it might be width of the blade in Millimeters, but that does not make sense.
Either way, beautiful set you are definitely blessed.
That wedge gave me goosebumps in my gooch
Love the one you said like the sheath with the snap ,
Cody, you remind me of Mr. Rogers with shop tools! I have followed you for a year now and I've enjoyed your family and videos. thank you very much for your kind spirit and wholesome content. You and family are in my prayers and may God continue to prosper your endeavors.
What is important about the grain orientation? Why do you not like the varnish? I like both of the splitting mauls and the wedge. I am not sure about which axe I like best.
I don't think I've ever even touched an axe in my life and I just stumbled on this video after watching some Japanese cats splitting shingles but - I need one. Hell! I need them ALL! They're just gorgeous! Wow! I had no idea there was such an axe...cult, LOL! Wow...fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Acquired 25 axes in two weeks after getting the fever.
Don't be a poser, don't get an axe if you have never seen or touched an axe that's one way how accidents happen.
ROFL! So, you're saying I should touch OTHER people's axes...I bet you'd have the exact same hissy fit, ROFL!
Awesome video , gorgeous craftsmanship. Leave it to Italy 👍. The wedge is revolutionary in the industry
Whoa, beautiful. Those Italians are masters. Hopefully they sort you out on the benefits of metric.
Americans are masters too.
grr ummmpee there are a few
Metric and imperial systems shouldn't be a problem to convert. For your purposes 2.2 lbs per 1 kg or 2.54 cm per 1 inch.
My pick would be the same one you chose at the end. I would definitely buy one. it looks great Thanks for sharing all those axes. I love axes and Knives.
Oh sweet Jesus, I'll bet they're expensive.
I'm leaving to go start a homestead and have some idea as to the axe, maul, hatchet scenario. Seeing these makes me really think, "I don't know squat!" Recently found your channel and am glad I did. Need anyone else to "test" a few of those amazing Prandi jems?
define affordable.....
+John Hunter How about you define affordable,
+Wranglerstar what axe are we talking about being affordable?
+John Hunter www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Define%3A+affordable
+Wranglerstar $50USD
+TheeIndubitably
$80 Canadian right?
I like the two small hatchets; one looks like it would be at home in a workshop (thinner blade, looks like it's for tooling), the other looks like a camp hatchet (more of my line). But, my favorite is the one with the 20-22" or so handle. Big enough for a serious swing; small enough to pack.
For farm use, those big boys look really nice.
Not sure how to word this, but I like the "depth" of the handle. Or width. From butt to cutting edge plane, is what I mean. The thickness there indicates to me that there's extra strength and resiliency on impact. It may be purely cosmetic, but, it's confidence inspiring.
If you're not needing that set for a few days... :-)
Seriously, it's been a few months...any follow ups? or did I miss it.
Grazi!
~Dan'l
Can you plug your axe into an amp? :)
\m/
I like the utility axe. Good length and love the shape.
what ever happen to the Prandi Axe's??
A/C Solutions LLC I see them for sale in amazon
The small american style axe would find it´s way in to my backpack on the hiking trail for sure!
Cody theses are IDENTICAL to the German OCHSENKOPF "ox head" including that big maul. They all look like a knock off? And the Swedish style ones too. Not to say they are good but you can already get any one of these identical axes almost anywhere. I think they just get Ochsenkpoh the make these for them just like Stihl. I believe you could do something way more original and stick with and American maker.
www.ochsenkopf.com/en/products/index.html
Can they confirm to you where the heads are being sourced. To me the handles look the same as well. Also most of the ox heads that I see now are terrible grain orientation. I think they just sent you the good ones.
www.helkonorthamerica.com/store/c2/Traditional_.html. They also look exactly like these. Look at the one with wedge splitting axe.
+Wranglerstar
+Michael Rhodes will look at
Well they definitely look good. Hopefully they perform as well as they look. If i'm not mistaken you had a video where a axe looked okay but then had issues with keeping an edge due poor quality steel. I look forward to the videos coming to show off how well they perform and hold up.
Sorry for my ignorance. But what is grain orientation?
It's how the grain of the wood is aligned to the head of the axe. You want the grain to run parallel to the striking or cutting edge of a tool. The grain can be seen at the bottom of a handle.
the grain orientation is the direction of the wood grain. It tends to be different depending on the tool. With axes good grain orientation would be in line with the blade not horizontal.
+mfk12340 Its which way the grain of the wood is heading looking at the butt of the axe. Think about a big block of wood you were gonna cut a handle out of. Depending on which was you lay the wood down to cut the profile you could either make it as stiff and strong as possible or as springy and weak as you would want. Looking at the butt of the tool, with the blade facing up, you want the grain running up and down. Not left to right. Hope that helps.
axtra92 Yeah that would be of great help.
All three posted at the same time. Thought that would go without saying. No good deed go unpunished...
The Gransfors small forest axe is probably the most beautiful axe ever
Google doesn't show any U.S. distributors and all I can find on ebay are three fiberglass handle versions. I really liked a couple of those designs, but since they're not available it doesn't matter. Might be worth revisiting this if they ever find some U.S. distributors.
Wow! Those look terrific, I hope Prandi finds a US distributor.
they are all very nice, I like them all for different uses
40 pounds of Italian axes? Hundreds of dollars. Watching a great RUclipsr talk about those axes for 18 minutes? Priceless.
that forest axe was my favorite
There is just something about quality tools that is almost undefinable with words....especially those made with wood and steel....as if they have their own soul.
That short multi-purpose short axe is quite nice, but they all look amazing and ooze quality...at least visually. Attention to detail leads one to think they most probably _are_ as good as they look
I always thought that the heavier maul was better until I got a ames super splitter and I love it.
The only type of haul video I’ll ever watch
My Fav would have to be the Felling Axe. But that being said they all look like they are great quality and I would definitely add one or 6 or these to my workshop selection.
That being said, down here in South Florida I'm always on the look out for an excellent Machete and bill hook for brush clearing and plant lopping. Do they have any of these tools?
+CossieWill - Oh and price wise i would be happy to pay around 130USD max for a decent axe.
Splitting axe,the last one was superb
I would enjoy owning a few of those axes and that wedge
Please make a video about different axe types and what would be good for what. For example I live in Oregon and am looking to invest in a quality axe (watching your videos) but I'm having a hard time which to buy first, second and third.
I'm looking for an all around good axe to make kindling, split wood? And take down dead trees. I have a solostove campfire model and I need small pieces about 6" long. So what would be a good all around axe for the camp site and to carry on my pack? What's the purpose of a small hatchet and what type of situations would you need one? Of course we all know the duty of the large ones to cut down trees but at which point does an axe go from one purpose to another? At this point I'm looking for a small hatchet to carry on my shoulder pack and a "Carpenter" axe? for general cutting and making kindling for my solo stove or traditional log sizes for fire pits..
All of those axes are my favorite!
lovely looking axes, can't wait to see you put them to good use! :)
Wranglerstar, Hello from Smithers BC... love your video's keep up the great work!
What a variety of axes. they look like quality. the last small axe second to last looks like a tomahawk design because of the fanned out wide cutting surface. It might throw good. I am really looking forward to seeing you try them out. They all seem to have different purposes. I have made a few homemade throwing axes they are fun. The tomahawk looking one is beautiful. I really like it. I wonder which one is best for splitting I am bout to make my self sick trying to split wood with with my ulcers I think my spiting axe is not any good I always have to drive it through with a sledge hammer to get to go on the oak trees we have in Oklahoma. LOL. I need a better splitting axe.
I think your endorsement would carry a lot of weight with a large section of the community, but to break into the U.S. market I think they'd really have to price aggressively at first to build momentum and legitimacy. That said, they look amazing, enjoy them. I can't wait to see them in action. Thanks for all you share.
Beautiful.. And Their Prices Are Not BAD
Any updates about Prandi and Wranglerstar getting together to make a custom Wranglerstar edition axe?
Have you thought about doing that wranglestar exclusive axe?
I didn't think he was ever going to stop pulling axes out hahaha
Such beauty!
oh man they look good !
markings are in grams. 600 means cca 1.3 lbs
the numbers stamped on the heads will be the weight in grams (metric) 2.2lbs to the KG !!
at 10:18, my still axe head is exactly the same, has the '1000' embossed into it at exact same location...hmm
Nice I like the small German and the medium German but Swedish are usually my favorite use axes
Did you ever use the American Felling? I wanna see what you thought of it.
I want the splitting maul! That was beautiful. I currently use an USA made eight pound splitting maul. I love it, and I love that weight. However I want something forged and not cast. I'd be willing to pay $150+
Wow, very nice axes! I want one!
those are seem nice. congrats on possible having your own axe series. that is a huge accomplishment. can't wait to order one
Phenomenal!!! I like the non-american style of hatchet. I love that that cutting edge opens up real wide! Elegant!
I've got a really nice 26" 3lb head prandi that was purchased for me by my work and it's wonderful for pounding wedges and after re profiling it on the Tormek it's a decent limbing axe too
OMG! Magnificent axes. Congratulations on video and by acquisitions.
Love axes, hatchets and tomahawks.
Big hug from southern Brazil.
Wait wait wait...a Wranglerstar official ax? Where do I sign?! I see all these comments about how much is affordable? I could justify spending $100ish on an ax of YOUR standards, YOUR design, with YOUR mark, being approved by YOU personally. I'm sure that it would be worth more than that , but knowing how expensive some "bushcraft" style axes are now, the $50 notion is just not realistic for a quality production. (Not that I wouldn't love it at $50) I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Great unboxing video.
btw y'all, some Prandi products are available at knifecenter.com
Lucky number 7 for me!
Man, you got some major equipment there.....the Ferrari of axes! Gonna be too pretty to use...LOL! Would like to see axes used on fire lines....my brother and I spent lots of time on those.
they look amazing and it says a lot that each one got you excited and received a lot of praise. they look beautiful but my only gripe (coming purely from watching a video on youtube) is that they could design that 'Original U.S.A Hickory' detail to be a lot nicer. to me that's the only detail that doesn't appear as considered and thoughtful as the rest of the axe.
anyway, great job and i hope they test well.
I like & want them all.
I like the American hatchet and that huge maul
I really want to see that splitting wedge in action.
I found an old Ochsenkopf axehead in not so great shape. I removed all the rust and so on and now its all shiny. I oiled it and seated a modified gransfors brucks hickory handle on it.
I would've made a Handle myself but my god, hickory is hard to get here in Germany... And i made a leather sheath for it.
I did cut down one tree with it but now it hangs on my Wall waiting to get used one day.
If there was a wrangerstar axe, I would think a Swedish or American company would best suit the style of what the channel uses for axes. But I don't know if anyone else has called. Perhaps price range for good acceptable quality will determine. By the way, cody has way too many tools now, I will gladly take donations. lol.
So how would one remove a round wedge without cutting handle off?
For the pride of America, you should definitely get into axe manufacturing. Make your own company for high quality full function axes.
Can I borrow the last splitting maul, I can trade you a nice old drill press or a single man cross cut saw.
Never ask a gadget guy which one he wants -- ALL OF THEM. I like the small hatchet and the large splitting maul.
With videos like this, if I never see a woman in shorts again I will die happy -- a man and his axe -- what else do you need in life!!!!
What I would not give to get a box of axes like those..
Sometimes in the early evening I like to cover myself with dirt, and pretend I'm a carrot.
A carrot? On your day off look for a real good counselor, before you end up in a camble soup can. Please don't wait..🤣😂😁
made my day
