I purchased 2 Ax1s and 1 Ax3. The quality control on all three were poor. All three leather masks and scabbards were made out of very low quality leather, to the point of not being safe. I even returned one of my Ax1s. The grinds {very dull} on them were not very good what so ever, again lacked quality control. I will be spending a good deal of time regrinding the two that I kept. I will also be making new leather masks and scabbard for them out of 9oz premium veg tan leather. My Ax3 was not sharp but at lease it did have a true convex grind, I can work with that. The Ax1 is going to be a task in getting the grind to a good usable convex. It's to bad because I wanted to like them, I do like the looks, just not the finished product. I do have two videos that I put out just recently on these axes. With work they will be great, but not for the price that I paid for them. My Ax3 was better than the two Ax1s.
They really are quite surprisingly expensive, especially if the finished product is normally like ours. Will check your videos out when I have time. Right now it's late and I have an early start tomorrow. I was kind of hoping that other people were having a better experience of these axes. From the comments I would guess that that isn't the case. Thanks for watching Dan.
You’re right, that’s a real head turner, thanks for the honest review. I see what you mean by the flair being a little too far from the cutting edge to be a great splitter, especially since it has that large, rounded edge…on that thought, I don’t remember if I told you that I took a deep breath and the better part of a long morning and removed a fair amount of cheek from a second, pre-owned ROSELLI axe I have… what a game changer! Carves, chops and splits like a beast now. I wonder if moving the edge back on the Beavercraft would similarly yield some better performance. Lot of work, though, that would be! Happy to see you’re building a decent snow base there now. Maggie misses not seeing Unni in this video!
I didn't realise that Unni wasn't in the video 🤣 she was there during the filming. Tell Maggie sorry. I should probably do the same to my Roselli axe. As for the Bevercraft bringing the cutting edge back would mean removing far too much metal. It's going to be mostly just a carving axe I think and never a really good splitter. Thanks for the sassafras and stickers you left me. Awesome gifts. Hope you had a great time in Finland.
Muy buen video Tim! El hacha es muy linda, seguramente debas trabajar el afilado, pero bueno... luego te quedarás con un hacha genial, te mando un gran abrazo!
I do think there are better options on the market from a practical perspective at least. If you want to look cool though, this would be a very good option. Thanks for watching Jeff
Love the shape. scandi grind may work better if its sole purpose is carving. It's a great video, I will get one next year .God bless you and your family. Lee 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thanks Lee, glad you liked the video mate. I intend to get that bevel to being pretty close to a scandi. Only slightly convex as opposed to round wich it nearly was when it arrived 😂. God bless you and yours mate and thanks for watching.
A bit too expensive for my liking, I've just got a Swedish army axe brand new for half the price. I'll keep politics from your comments out of respect for your great channel, but I do feel like people blow smoke up the arse of anything made in Ukraine good or bad, nice to hear an honest review, I'm sure beaver craft will appreciate that. I bought many wood working tools from this store about 6-7 years ago and they are still going strong, I'm sure you're constructive criticism will go a long way to improve their tools.😁👍🏻
I should have mentioned their other tools that I have are all great. Really affordable, totally practical. This seems to be built more to look cool than be a effective low price tool. Pretty much the opposite of all of their other stuff. I still don't have the edge how I would like it. I am sure it will be a good little spoon carver once I have. Thanks for watching mate.
I feel where these little axes excel is pairing them up with twig stoves.They are also good for some carving like you said.Thanks for an honest review and i like to buy from Countries i support.
Worked great with the fatwood for the twig stove. A little too small for any real firewood prep. I think it will be really useful. I still haven't got that cutting edge to where it should be. Very short of time and daylight at the moment. Thanks for watching Troy
I bought a carving axe that has a straight edge, zero curve to it. Sort of puts me in mind of the Wharncliffe vs Puukko for whittling... each can excel at different aspects of carving.
We will see how it compares when I have worked on the edge a little more. I can still get it a lot better. But finding the time at the moment is quite difficult. Lots of tourists in Lapland at the moment. Being Santa's home and all. Thanks for stopping by Erik.
@KuukkeliBushcraft Aye, I gather it is a busy time of year for you over there. Also regarding the refinishing, I realized when I saw your new edge and heard you say it could still use some work, that I have the same repeat experience: regrind, resharpen, hone and polish - and then say, ah, needs more. One might think that time was wasted on the sharpening and honing before enough material was finally removed: but come a point you don't get to see very well what still needs doing, without putting a finish on. I suppose that the finest pro makers are able to grind to the right proportions first time around through repetition. The right amount both before and after heat treatment. I gather there's an old Sheffield saying, "forge them thick and grind them thin". Looks like Beavercraft got the first part right at least. It would have been easier to remove a lot of the excess prior to heat treatment but you'll get there eventually and perhaps the steel will be better for having been forged and heat treated thick :D
Nice axe but I have the impression that the blade is too thick and impractical. I bought an axe truper steel 1095 very practical. Good video greetings tim.👍
The blade is thin enough except for just behind the cutting edge. It needs a higher grind. I am half way there at the moment. Just hard to find time to do anything at the moment. Busiest time of the year here in Lapland right now. Thanks for watching mate.
The axe looks really good. I have one of their sloid knives and two curved hook knives. I also have a BPS bushcraft knife. Supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦 is important, but both companies just make good products. Thanks 🎸🔪
I have a few beavercraft carving tools, they are excellent. I also have a couple of BPS knives to review soon. The value for money is really amazing. I think maybe Beavercraft could have put a better grind on this axe though. Always good to support the Ukraine that is true. That Dosn't mean that I am not going to point out a few flaws. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas.
Yeah !.. that looks like a superb bit of kit.. 10% off is a great deal !.. shame that it doesn't quite reach the expectations ! ..yeah with you on the politics.. I support Ukraine too ..nuff said !! I think the hatchet was a 'little gnasher' on that stump.. even blunt ~!! Great review as always Tim bro ! Blessings to you and the Unni beastie ! 🐾🐾
She is fine, she is there somewhere during most of the filming. She is working a lot at the moment. She hasn't been working with the best partners today. Had to change her partner in lead because he was too interested in what was going on behind him. The second one was kind of the same only nowhere near strong enough to stop Unni going forward. She really is a phenomenal sled dog. I just sometimes worry about her pushing herself too hard. Thanks for watching mate.

Muy buen video Tim! El hacha es muy linda, seguramente debas trabajar el afilado, pero bueno... luego te quedarás con un hacha genial, te mando un gran abrazo!
Gracias Maty, Es un Acha muy bonito pero mucho trabajo en afilar lo. Por lo menos ya se que el acero no es demassiado blando 😂.
Un abrazo
Thanks Tim, great review, and I'd say an excellent evaluation! 🙂 Stay safe, stay warn... well the best you can. 😁
Thank you, i am so glad you enjoyed the video. It's actually not so cold at the moment. A real mild start to the winter.
Muy buena el hacha Tim y el cabo esta buenísimo 🤠🤜🏻🤛🏻
Gracias Alvero, es Una hacha bonita. Viene mal afilado pero eso se puede areglar.
Un abrazo
Good honest look-see, Tim. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I like the idea of a carving axe, but I think maybe I'll wait a bit...
I do think there are better options on the market from a practical perspective at least. If you want to look cool though, this would be a very good option.

It does look like a pretty hatchet.. and handmade is all good !! 💪 ..by the time you have weaved your magic on it.. well it will be superb !!
No I got it all wrong. I turned it into a frog I just wish I had listened to the teacher more back in Hogwarts 😂.
Thanks for watching Andy.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft Oh no !! 😂😂 Cheers Tim bro !!
