Forging the Northmen Hunter's Hatchet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- We’re announcing new lineup of axe models crafted by the Northmen Guild’s master craftsmen and craftswomen - custom made axes that will be offered as ready to ship products on our website.
These axes will be offered on average once a month in a limited number. There are two new hatchet models - Ranger’s Hatchet and Hunter’s Hatchet; the classic large American Felling Axe and the versatile Northlander Forest Axe. These axes are designed and made by the Northmen Guild's master bladesmith Mr. Liepins. The axes are hand-forged from a solid piece of high-quality tool steel AISI 1066 (65G). This is the main difference between our axes. This new solid steel technique allows for a more consistent results and longer edge life when sharpening the blade through years. The axe handles are made from European Ash and are soaked in a special tung oil mixture. The axes have black leather sheaths made from full grain leather that we source from a local tannery.
Another novelty is that each axe will have its own unique serial number on the back side of the handle. Also the names of the master craftsmen and craftswomen who made the specific axe plus the month and year of birth when the axe was crafted are engraved below the serial number.
We’re also now offering custom engravings on the axe handles. Please put your custom engraving wish in the notes section when placing your order.
The very first axes and the first limited batch of hatchets are available on our website.

Lifetime warranty. As for everything we make.

I miss the old northmen videos with the most amazing music....
Off topic: Jacob, we (at least I) want an update on the lost method of debarking live trees to harden the wood
Understood! The task is clear!
I was thinking about exactly the same question today. He talked about it briefly in an interview about his house!
@@theuns390 yep, a 1 hour podcast. I'd love a proper update with the lessons they learned. How much you have to debark, how easy the wood can be debarked when cut down, how the trunk diameter changer and how the hardness compares against trees around
YES THANK YOU
Clickspring and Northmen video on the same day? I'm in my happy place.
Still one of my favorite RUclips channels of all time.
❤❤❤ keep up the good work thanks again that was really great to see. We love it ❤❤❤

Thank you!
This is REALLY GREAT to see you guys at forge.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
You are doing great work. I love you so much. I am inspired by your videos. Greetings from Turkey
Birth of a tool was a much better production
God I love these videos. Long time ago they inspired me to start some primitive woodworking, and they keep inspiring me.
Thank you, Jacob
The birth of an outstanding impressive tool - I'd like to see it used in the woods.
We'll do a video with using it. A bit later this autumn.
@@northmenguild Excellent!
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Northmen, awesome video dude
Thank you!
Gaurentee this guy has had shrapnel in his eye ball. Good video 🤙
Steel rivet through head of the axe and hansle from side as mine has keeps axe head from ever falling off.
Really great! Luckily I got no excess money but own my 30 yo Fiskars handy 1000. Just keeps on givin’, modern north man axe.
❤
Gentlemen, who is the music in this one? You guys turned me on to Bones of JR Jones and Foreign Fields years ago.
Muito bom o vídeo más ficou faltando o cabo. Más valeu é sempre legal assistir os videos do northmen 👍
I love the craft, I love the video, I love the channel, I hate the gloves 😄
Haha! 😀
👍🏻
👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Hey I was wondering if you are able to forge a slip fit axe (basically a basque axe) and what the price would be?
I want one
They're available here - northmen.com/en/products/axes. Thanks for watching!
Great video! How long approx does it take to create one axe?
Nice! If it is a `hunters´ axe, should it not have rounded neck, without corners? When you want the skin to let loose from the meat, you get marks in the skin with corners on the neck?
Just placed an order. Do all axes come with the same edge sharpness?
Yes, they all come sharp! Thank you for ordering!
What would you use the hunters ax for? Especially if you have a hunting knife. I don’t understand the specific use for this axe or hatchet.
You can use it for anything. It is designed to be a bit heavier than our regular hatchet and has a bit longer handle too. It is meant to be as a companion when going on a hunting trip. Not too heavy, not too light. It can do some work on a deer too if needed. Thanks for asking!
Shame its not forged to shape anymore. Just splatted and ground to shape... Spose it saves time but its quite wasteful and not traditional.
All waste material is recycled and turned into usable steel again. We don't waste anything. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@northmenguild it's still very cool, and you're super talented!
@@s.willfd Thank you for understanding! Stay strong!
''Hand-forged''
😅
Did you expect him to punch the red hot steel into shape?
Tssssss Master!!!
Where are your wallets? I’ve been waiting on you to bring them back. Also a survival knife and a nice pocket folder knife
The wallets will be back really soon!
Can somebody in the comments or somebody that watches this video explained to me, what this would be used for as far as hunting purposes? I hunt deer and I hunt elk, I already have a really nice knife from this company and many other knives that are great hunting knives. I would like to know what would make me carry this ax all day long Hunting?how would I use it on the animal? What would I use it for? I wanna justify paying 400 some dollars for it. I wanna make sure I have a use, but I seriously cannot figure out what use I would have for this if I already have a hunting knife.
I read on an "outdoors" forum maybe 10 years ago that a hunters axe had a smooth and rounded poll for separating the hide from the flesh when you were skinning. You'd peel the hide off a ways and gently strike with the round poll where the hide meets the flesh on the inside. Never personally tried anything like that so I can't speak to it's efficacy. Also this hatchet doesn't appear to have the rounded poll. Photo examples of antique hunting axes on that forum had very dramatic rounding, to the point that you couldn't really use the poll for any kind of other work. This is all based on anecdotal evidence if forum users saying things like "my great-grandfather used these", and "I've tried it and it works."
I think for this hatchet "hunter's" is more of just a name to identify the model.
A hunter's axel would be a smaller axe to be easier to carry while hunting, but still usable to camp with or establish a blind etc. A woodman's axe would be larger and meant for felling trees, etc, on a daily basis.
So much wasted material
That’s what you gotta do when you make something at a production price. If it was forged to shape there would be a lot more time in it, thus making it more expensive. Then, someone would complain that it costs too much.
