    Just bought one and I freakin love it shaved the hair right off my arm! You can tell the crafters put a lot of time and effort into these and for that I thank you Gransfors Bruk. If you don't own one buy one now you'll be glad you did.

Lucked out and found an outdoor company about 3 hours away that will have this line a available April 18. They ship too so I'm stoked to get my hands on one now. Thanks so much for the heads up bra. Wouldn't have known had it not been for you. And even showed me how to take care of it too. Your the best.

    I watched this video with my brother n law and I've wanted one for a long time. but as soon as we wathed your video I said screw it I'm getting one so I immediately ordered one. I had to spend $200.00 on it and it was totally worth it. I love it. I got the Ray Mears edition which I don't know the difference but I freakin love it. AWESOME!

  • @PIPERJIM2024
    @PIPERJIM2024 8 лет назад

    I have an old garden shed axe which I use, I thought it was pretty good. But after watching this axe in action I think its time to hang it up and get myself one of these beauties. Great video thanks for sharing. 10/10

  • @chikitabowow
    @chikitabowow 9 лет назад

    This was a really special episode, as my grandfather used to work a lot in the forest. And their axes was always a pride to them, they would always have a personal axe this size called a Kvistyxa (Or just kvistyx in my accent), wich basically was a universal tool. And also a bigger axe for the acutal treecutting, but that was usually an axe that the whole "team" would buy together.
    And you can tell that it's a proper kvistyx by the way the head is made to be thinning much closer to the shaft than a cutting or chopping axe. That way ,when combined with high quality steel, they could make precision cuts and the axe itself would stay sharper for longer periods of time. My grandfather bought an axe that is the same model as this (but different brand) about 70 years ago, and my father still uses it today, albeit with a newer handle.
    Anyways, thanks for a great review!

  • @Ch33no
    @Ch33no 10 лет назад +2

    Really is a sick ass axe! Funny thing is gransfors says it's a felling axe, but it does split like a champ! I'd like to try the small splitting axe, it probably goes through wood like buttah.

  • @ryanbohle4953
    @ryanbohle4953 7 лет назад

    I've had my small forest axe for a couple years now and actually sharpen it on a wet stone. It's still shaving sharp and worth every penny. The best chopper bar none. I just bought their splitting maul as well and have a lot of white oak to split. I'm sure it will perform above and beyond expectations.

  • @MrTrebor3001
    @MrTrebor3001 9 лет назад

    Ha ha, nice to see that you finaly got the right tool. Now you can retire all your other axes. I use mine since abaout 10 years and love it because of its quality, edgeretention and the fact that the head ist still tight. Perfect sice to take it out for trips.
    AS = Anders Strömstedt is the smith at Gränsfors Bruk who is mainly forging the heads for the smal forest axes.
    Have a nice time with yours and always think twice where the axe is heading when you miss because you dont want to be "bitten" by her ;o)

    @fimbulvinter7126 9 лет назад

    One more fact about the axe that you didn't mentioned as far as I recall (however, it might depend on the country), it fits in a 50 cm bag, wich is a pretty standrad size of bag. Not big, not small, just standard, and it fits it perfectly. ^^ That was actually one of the main reasons I bough it in the first place.

    • @MitchS1001
      @MitchS1001 8 лет назад

      get some linseed oil on your hands (you need very much) then rub it into the handle... be sure to get the ends, then let it sit for a day to soak in. I find setting the tool in the sun to allow the handle to heat up tends to help the oil soak in and reduces any "sticky" spots.
