    Thank you for taking the time to put this video together and including and honest review. Whether battlemerchant or any other supplier the moral of the story here is with the good bones of quality materials and some basic hand work any cheap tool can be improved. We live in a time when people buy and use disposable tools. The best equipment I have acquired is through flea markets, often only a dollar or 2 for an old rusty axe head of high quality. With some time and new handle you have a 200 plus ticket item that will be reliable for atleast 20 years.

Emailed him about not receiving it and wanting my money back...I heard nothing. Seems they disappeared. I wish someone would tell us something.

    Great video -- good point on the bandsaw cut -- odd that they would hand-forge the blade, but use a bandsaw on the handle, and then undercut so badly.
    BTW, the bulging grind that you put on the blade -- I believe that is called a "lenticular" grind.

    well done young done but don't ever think your the only one doing this I've done the same on a small knock of hatchet the original one was 185 bucks here in the states the knock of was close to yours 26 bucks I believe . Received it look good handle grain look like a looser nice color as yours took it out and on the second whack on the stump bang handle shatters nothing but knots under the color . So I called the dealer they said sorry they would send another one ,they did same problem I did not call the dealer this time they did not want the first one to be returned so now I have 2 heads were made of 1075 . So Picked up 2 hickory handles . There was another problem inside the head a void when the steel had shank in the forging process so I filled that up with a little welding filed it to fit re handled them both and they are outstanding small hatchets with a very cool look . I have also done this with low and mid range knives making new sheaths and putting on new stabilized scales of all kinds . So take care I am with you .Happy trails

    Very informative video. You have lots of good ideas. The original undercut for the handle fitment was pathetic.
    I read an American history book about early American blacksmithing. Some of the blacksmiths used sugar that was burned on the steel for a coating. Since sugar is mostly carbon it made sense. Heated the steel or wrought iron in a fire. Then covered the hot metal with sugar. The sugar burned off leaving 100% carbon coating. I tried this on an metal punch long ago in 1976. It is still on punch after 42 years. And still much better than that black paint.

    Axe prices are ridiculous. You transformed a 20 buck axe into a 120 axe in maybe 30 minutes. Except if you make over 200 bucks a hour at your daily job there is no reason to buy an expensive one.
    In the end, it's a piece of steel on a stick.

  • @erikblarg5498
    @erikblarg5498 6 лет назад

    he is talking about an "apple seed" edge. this is my favorite type of bevelling because it creates a very sturdy amount of steel so the blade has better edge retention as well as it lowers the amount of surface area in contact with whatever you are cutting, this makes it much more efficient. the apple seed edge is the same as what you will find on authentic katanas. The apple seed bevel is difficult to do well but if you do manage it then it will work very well.
