    So that brings the basque tally to all of us having a dud now. Fantastic

    6:41 is that’s a Oberharzer Bison axe ?

    Sad to see so many issues with the steel on the basques. The crap handles I could deal with, but that really sucks. I feel for you man. Hopefully things get better, as they really do have great geometry.

      crap handles ? bru dont talk if you are clueless about things

      @dakillah6018 80% of the handles I’ve purchased from their company have been warped. Needed to steambend to fix them. They are mass producing handle stock with low quality european beech. Turning it while it’s still green I imagine, which is a lot easier on the machines. They take a good set once dried since they never saw a kiln beforehand.

    Greetings from Spain folks. Only Tell you the basque axe is so sticky because you chose the straight bit versión, which is more fragil than the curve bit. I have the second one ant It never failed like that

    Looks like a piece of polished Chinese steel on a fancy handle. Sorry for the basque mishap. I'll stick to Council Tools, am in Canada.

    THATS EXACTLY WHY I SEARCHED FOR , MY BASQUE BROKE LIKE 1/5 OF THE BLADE LIKE DOUBLE THE SIZE OF YOUR CHIP . I ll go for a Muller thats for sure

    Might want to look into that F114 these basque axes use, maybe it's the type of tool steel that becomes brittle after much use.
    I personally don't know smack about F114.
    But I do know that some tool steels can get brittle even when it's tempered steel.

    There were several glancing blows before this happened, not that these guarantee a broken head but they don't help with such a thin edge. I'm no expert but it seems to me that the geometry of these axes make a very clean strike mandatory.

    Ben didn’t even hesitate. Exactly what I’d have done, too. He’s a good lad. I could see it before you circled around the back, but I can’t tell when it happened. You? Gotta be facecut though, eh?

    Think Simon's was a Bison oberharz? Was Ben's blue/cyan chappy a Muller of some sort? Do not recognise Owen's red job...

      No the harzer is some random make. Not sure which one. The red one Owen was using is the CT boys axe
