This reminds me of my grandfather born 1907 who was really good with an axe. He lived in a wood heated house until 1957. He only had oak harwood timber and he only used double bit axes. In fact no farmer or rancher in that area ever had a single bit axe. We used the double bit for clearing land which would ruin a single bit. The axe head was handy for hooking downed brush and limbs so you could drag it to a burn pile. The back side or dull blade was used to chop roots. The double bit is easier to sharpen. It is way better for country with lots of briars because you have to hack at roots a lot. One humorous bit of trivia My grandfather was working on a fence line one day as I walked across the pasture toward him. He was about 1/4 mile away and I could easily hear the axe. The distance was so great he would be raising the axe for the next swing when I heard the whack.
My grandfather told me the same. One side for clean wood, the other for roots and rocky areas. Still have his axe and have a few more double bit axes to keep it company.
+AsH Watchoutforthattree wow ! thanks a lot ! I really love my tools indeed but it would be a shame to just hang them on a wall. They perform awesome ! Thanks for watching friend.
I think a double bit axe feels more balance but that's what I started out on. And they work great for splitting kindling. Stick axe in chopping block and use the other side. Place wood over the axe sticking up and use a Mallet or another axe hammer etc to split
Thanks to watching your channel in particular , I decided to buy a Granfors Bruk myself :o) I bought today the G.B. #415 , Wildlife Hatchet. I love it !
Haha ! I love these axes so much, I actually miss them (backpaking in australia right now). Try the scandinavian if you have the wildlife and need a bigger one for big work. My favourite axe so far. (with the cruiser, and the small forest, and the felling axe, and... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
that's a brilliant Video! Thanks for sharing ... good to see that you actually use those axes, in the way that they were made for. - i would also guess that the Felling Axe has a slight Advantage for felling trees (due to the curved handle). I have a straight handled double-bit (but the shorter Version, the Throwing axe), and as far as i have experienced, a curved grip is better for felling. Cheers, Erik
+Erik1970Viking Thanks a lot Erik. Yep I feel the same way with the handle, I more used to the curved handle. It's probably a habbit problem because I'ts not that much of an issue with my cruiser. Thanks for watching. Guillaume

+Bushcraft Sweden Tak ! I thought I was over my '' too many knives '' syndrom but I think the too many axes is even stronger :) The more I play with other axes, other brands, the more I find these awesome. Have a nice day :) (more axes videos comming when I get the chance to film :) )
+Bushcraft Sweden ah :) eh bien wetterlings est plus facile à trouver en France dans les magasins (pour GB il y a seullement 4 boutiques qui en vendent il me semble) Lebesson bbois armebastille et gaillard millon.

Cool, j'ai fais une partie de la kungsleden l'été dernier (abisco - kvikjok), c'est un pays magnifique, j'y retournerai certainement.
Just bought a tuatahi work axe with the wings ground out, 11 degrees side, 3.1 kg, sharpest axe I have ever seen, looking forward to getting a tree to test it on...
Now I have just bought a slightly used GB double bit with the long handle like in your video, for the equivalent of about 125 euro...this axe stuff is getting expensive! Going to do a comparison video soon.
+Shelley Raskin Thanks ! Well I did compare the ray mears, the GB scandinavian forest axe and the Wetterlings Swedish axe when I went in the alps in the ax'men meeting in october. Here's the '' testing '' part ruclips.net/video/5D8IrO3NgKU/видео.htmlm42s I don't have any weterlings even though I used some because I like the thinner geometry of the GB. It cuts better imo. maybe I'll manage to make a full review/comparison between these in the next meeting :) Hope that helps. G
The single bit looked sharper, too. The edge on the double bitbdid not seem to be as sharp as the single bit from what I could tell. I like a single bit to cut trees, too, but I like one of my chainsaws better. Double bits are generally lighter than single bits -force = mass times acceleration, so they will generally cut better when sharp. A double bit’s primary advantage is it has two edges. If one edge gets dull you can use the other edge
Great vid. I am looking for my first axe. I want a double bit but looking at the small felling axe. It will be nice to have a well rounded axe and i am no lumberjack. However i did grow up using a maul and chisel to split wood for my dads basement. Also i am a carpenter and like that a smaller axe can shape smaller pieces. Do you agree a small felling axe should work for me? Considering i do want to drop smaller trees along my way:]
The double bit seemed to twist thanks to the extra weight on the back being further away. Maybe I just saw it more because it's more obvious. Plus the handle shape isn't ideal since you have to be able to use it either way.
@@Handsy_McGee there's an Adirondack version of handle for double bit axes that is curved for the side you use most but you can choke up on the handle a bit and use it in the other direction for the 2nd bit that would be beveled in a different way like he remarks that he has his smaller cruiser saddle axe set up that way as far as the two bit are concerned. I think the straight handle vs the curved handle and being used to one over the other and being more used to a single bit would influence his swing more than the one bit vs 2 bits, having more experience with one over the other it would make sense that one had a bit better swing etc. Great video thanks for posting it!
Does anyone know if this steel can handle freezing temp wood? Others manufacturers can and can not but others that are from older mfgs in the USA can and cost 1/16th of the cost if one has a good wife that will shop
Hi , i haven't tried them in frozen wood but i reckon just making the bevel a bit fatter it would be good to go. 1 / 16 th of a GB that's 1 / 16 of 160 euros , so 10 euros axe ? interesting.
salut guillaume , peu tu me dire lequel est le model que tu utilise pour la gransfors american axe ? la version 80 cm , 81 cm ou la 90 cm ? Merci pour ta super video. @ bientot. Bruno.
+bubu 0110 Salut Bruno, merci beaucoup. C'est a plus longue, la 434-2 de 90 cm. Je suis dit que tant qu'a faire d'avoir la plus grosse de leurs haches autant avoir la plus puissante. (Et l'habitude d'utiliser un merlin de 90 aide pour la precision, même longueur, même geste). Bonne journée.

The double bit ax is known to be the preferred choice of the professional American woodsman of old. I don't think there is much to compare, because they're the double bit ax will always be superior solely because it has two edges!
+The Bare-Footed Cambodian Hi. I know it was used a lot by lumberjacks in america but how's the axe superior solely because it has 2 edges ? I get it will take longer into use without having to sharpen it. However that doesn't mean it will perform better at cutting one tree does it ?
+bluesGs Good questions, and I'm glad you asked! In this context(that is, what's more useful in general) the double bit ax is superior because you have a keen edge for felling and a relatively dull edge for limbing. Limbs are notorious for chipping a felling ax's edge solely because their edges need to be keen. So in that regard, the double bit has a one up! And contrary to popular believe, curved handles give no benefit to power as the amount of force applied x's mass will still be the same. Double bit ax's are better in this sense as well because a proper felling ax requires a straight handle. Curved handles are purely aesthetic and lend to inaccuracy. Also, cutting into roots would be a problem for a single bit felling as because they are so densely packed you will inevitably roll the edge or chip it. As far as cutting power: the weight in a single bit ax is in it's poll, but the weight in a double bit ax is in it's edge; this may not be noticeable to someone who isn't privy to cutting a lot of trees! In those regards, the double bit ax is superior if you're only comparing the two.
The edges on a double bit axe are different. one has a sharp cutting grind on it and the other has a splitting edge ( blunter). I usually put a cutting grind on both blades, because I have a 5# splitting axe.
C'est un tres bon choix :) J'ai fais des videos aussi avec la scandinavian si tu veux regarder dans mes videos. La scandi a une tete assez légere mais un manche relativement long ce qui lui donne une puissance assez incroyable pour son poid. Top. C'est une des dernieres que je lacherai je pense la scandi.
@@Migger_29 it's not true. It bites depper because it has a small bit. The double bit is alot wider and has more surface area to cut through. If the double bit had a smaller bit, say like 4 inches it would bite significantly more.
I’m an axe nerd so I’m going to say this, some of your swings were wasted and inaccurate. If you ever want to use one of those gransfors a ton, make sure to thin down the handle. A thinner handle gives off less shock to the user. I also noticed you didn’t seem to make a back cut? You may not have needed to use the rope if you could’ve made a backcut. You did a good job bucking, I recommend making the notch on the opposite side of the oof from you, not on the top of the log. This I done for both safety and to keep your axe out the dirt.
Hi , i'm one of the axe junkies so i need to use my axes even though my technique is far from perfect. Moreover the video is about 4 years old so i probably improved a bit since :) We did make a back cut , you can see me chopping at 9:50 , we had to pull the tree with the rope because it was leaning in the wrong direction. The handle could feel thick on the double bit , on the single bit , that's not really an issue. Thanks for watching :)
Will Taylor - Bushcraft Good to know, just what I saw personally so it’s hard to make a truly accurate assumption. I have just seen and felt that most Bruk axes have stupidly thick handles that don’t bend
Very nice collection. However I would highly advise you to learn how to properly swing an axe. your doing it wrong and you are gonna cause yourself to have back problems.
Hi, not really :) I bought 3 bark rivers and dozens of knives but in the end i always use my swiss army knife and my fallkniven F1 . I carry a hatchet, a boy's axe or a full size axe depending on what i'm going to do. So yeah, i don't really need any big blades anymore, cool looking, but that's pretty much it (to me, to each their own :) )
This reminds me of my grandfather born 1907 who was really good with an axe. He lived in a wood heated house until 1957.
He only had oak harwood timber and he only used double bit axes. In fact no farmer or rancher in that area ever had a single bit axe.
We used the double bit for clearing land which would ruin a single bit. The axe head was handy for hooking downed brush and limbs so you could drag it to a burn pile. The back side or dull blade was used to chop roots. The double bit is easier to sharpen. It is way better for country with lots of briars because you have to hack at roots a lot.
