Hey this is Tyler White. Chad Keel’s friend. Great video and great axe. It’s impressive! Great people in the Ukraine as well.
Thank you Sir! There is a lot to explore on this channel. I've made 20 or more axe videos so far about lots or different handmade carving axes from all over the globe. About to dive back into my northern Ontario canoe trips... So it won't get monotone on here. I appreciate the support.
Excellent instruction. Congratulations.
Perfect spoon and
beautiful ax.
Greetings from southern Brazil.
Muito Obrigado!
Hi Max here from land of THE SLEEPING GIANT. 🇨🇦. Nice to see your happy face,,Thanks for the positive vibes. Great looking axe. Thanks again. Cheers Mate.
My all time favorite comments man. Cheers and hope you are well mate.
Max you did an excellent job presenting this axe. The cons were mentioned along with the pro's...good for you. I have enjoyed many of your presentations and will own one of the axes very soon now!! Really well done!!!
Thank you very much for the feedback. I do make a living in this field but that doesn't mean I'm not staying honest and keep my integrity, after all, this isn't supposed to just be a sales channel. Thanks again.
I live quite close to the town where the original viking axe find that the Stefan Rönnqvist is based on was found. Never knew about it until I got into carving. Will try to go see it at their museum when Im able to.
Great video. Max I had my eye on that axe. Now I know it slices like I thought it did
It is a beast of an axe!
Great video with lots of knowledge shared!
Thank you brother.
Hey ive got from wilderfield forge a bushcraft tomahawk and the quality is outstanding. Fit and finish is perfect and still cuts like a laser :)
Right... I don't know what it is with the Ukrainian way of heat treating 52100 bearing steel but my forge and Maksym are just getting it right everytime on each tool I got. Knives, axes and gouges alike.
Beautiful axe! Ukraine 🇺🇦 also makes great knives. 🔪🎸
I just got this axe and agree with pretty much everything you said, I'm glad I got it before this video otherwise there may have been a waiting list. 52100 is my favorite steel, it is well known for it's edge holding ability.
52100 is the steel to beat... As you said. The edge retention and toughness is wonderful for what we do. The price adjustment was a necessary step with the higher demand and higher production cost due to staff and paying good wages. It is still very competitive and the turnaround time of all my Ukrainian axes is very fast and working with both forges has been professional all the way.
@@woodsmansfinest3814 I later realized that you were making a business connection and so I took that sentence out later.
@@quakerlyster very fair of you mate but it is all good. I have no issue being transperent about all that because I have profound reasons for all the way and why I do this. I appreciate the talk mate.
Great looking axe Sir! I really need to fetch up me an carving axe, but I can't make up my mind. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Browse the channel as I am very honest about the pros and cons of all of them. My own recent designs and these ones available all from my website have the best steel and quickest turn around on the market. That I can guarantee
I bought the medium carving head from Maksym... I'm liking it a lot. Great axe!
Thank you for the feedback! Cheers
Axes are sweet looking.
Nice talk and axe Max. I, for one, don't mind you "nerding out" about axes and carving. As a smith and a carver I find it very informative.
Thanks for the encouragement. People think I just wanna sell stuff but when you go back through my carving axe series I am the only one really trying to talk about proportions, balance, steel and compromises of designs. Thank you for stopping in.
@@woodsmansfinest3814 glad to help. No one is forcing them to buy your products. To my knowledge you are the only one who has studied and/or can express the technical aspects of carving tools. Outside of a few others (Nic Westermann, Alexander Yerks come to mind). You've definitely furthered my knowledge, thank you.
@@hillbillynick2000 there are tons of very knowledgeable people out there and I am really by far not the most informed and knowledgeable compared to the very old irons but I also took lots of time out of the last few years to build a connection to tool makers I call friends now, forged my own knives and tools to understand the subject matter better and also worked with people knowledgeable about tools on 3 different continents and so I'd say I at least got some stuff to share. Thank you for the support.
Medium viking axe. Im very interesting in purchasing one. Now could you tell or show me how? I live in Fort Myers Florida.
I just responded to your other comment. Find all new models on Woodsmansfinest.com
It's a beautiful axe. If I was a collector, I'd want one. Thanks for the video! Will you be making more knives...? What knives I've seen on your webpage are very nice.
It is a fabulous craft and carving axe too otherwise I wouldn't present it.
Thank you for the kind words. Yes there are going to be more knives shortly.
Thanks for this video Max. Ive been trying to decide which carving axe to buy. I intend to order the Wayfarer soon. As a new carver I use wildlife hatchet but it’s time for something more specific and special.
Used the wildlife hatchet for my first few years. Honestly... I wished back then I had the same little, compact, punchy axe in a more suitable head... And the Wayfarer is that head. You would absolutely love it to bits.
@@woodsmansfinest3814 I have had sooooo many axes, always looking for the 'one' gotta say after a week of constant use the wayfarer is that axe.
@@nathanelliot1596 wow... That's amazing! Really hits home with me buddy! Thank you,
I have been looking at that axe for close to two years. What I like about it is the big upsweep (did they increase the curvature?). I think that, like most people, I have a tendancy to aim as my target with the middle of the axe; therefore a big upsweep in the front allows me to have a nice sliccing action. I also like thin axe because they make better sliccer. You also pointed out the two elements that have me hesitating: the weight and the large distance between the edge and the handle.
Like you were saying, I am one that crave for the use of mythic tools, I don’t need an other axe but I still have two of them in my vue. That Wild Fields Forge is one of them.
By the way, I would really like you to review the little finnish carver axe from Kharkiv Forge. I am very curious about that design. For me, it address the problem of the distance between the edge and the handle. Unfortunately, it seems heavy.
Thanks for the fantastic job you are doing.
Great points all over buddy. Niecely written. I've designed an equivalent of the axe you are talking about with Svarogych/Kharkiv that will be available in a few weeks. Yes... The weight is an issue if you aren't used to the right technique. I think that this can be a great axe in a combo with a second one as it was done a lot. I'd recommend you to have a look at my 800g Jounreyman and especially the 600g Wayfarer as options if you like the heat treat but aren't sure about the balance and accuracy... Those axes are 100% designed by me and I've gotten nothing but happy reviews by nearly 100 people who bought the axes in the last 4 months.
I havent found a way or website i can order one like that!
They are currently not available but I got several updated versions for preorder on my website. Actually with a 10% holiday discount right now. Woodsmansfinest.com
Just to say; is the forge not "Wild Fields Forge", not "Wild FIRE Forge" as you have in the video title? Not sure if titles can be changed.
I am loving your videos. Thanks so much for your work.
You are absolutely right. Autocorrect made it into the title and I never realized it... Thank you so much for the care.
I'm planning on buying an axe from them as my first good quality one, and I thought I'd seen every RUclips video of Maksym's work (most of them in Ukrainian which I don't speak), so I was surprised and delighted when I was working my way through your videos and this one happened to pop up. You really allayed any second-guessing I had about choosing to go with him.
@@chrysincognitio3751 that's awesome. Thank you. Links are below and prices adjusted. Wanna support the channel? This is the way to go. Cheers and have a great weekend.
