    it's a damn shame all the old american axe companies are gone. scandinavia makes some of the best axes these days, but you can still find vintage american gear and restore it.

    I understand why you like this axe, Gränsfors Bruk makes very good axes.
    As we use to say here in sweden:
    "The Swedish steel bites hard"

    @hickok45  14 лет назад +2

    @danebrewer10 , They seem much better balanced to me than the single bit axe. Also, one blade usually sharpened to a finer edge and the other a little more blunt, less easy to break or dull.

    I remember seeing that axe hanging up years ago in SMKW I'm omw to go buy one today because God spoke into me his word that it'll be a valuable tool at my disposal, rather than a crucial investment lol. Thanks Hickock never even saw this video in years of watching you with my dad and mom

  • @beardedaxethrower8748
    @beardedaxethrower8748 11 лет назад

    Nice! This summer I just started tossing the 29 inch throwing version of this double bit axe. They sure make great quality axes. Surprised after just 4 sessions how quick I was able to perform some great throws. Keep up your always prodigious work there Hickok45!

    I grew up in Michigan; wood heat as a main source in 3 homes. Double bladed axe heads are by far the most natural feeling for me. I love the look this one you used in the video, but I think for the price I think I might just try to forge my own.

  • @TheTruthRocks
    @TheTruthRocks 12 лет назад

    That is a beauty of an axe. Generally, a double-bit axe has two grinds; one edge is a felling grind. Called the "keen" edge, it's thin razor sharp, and faster through big wood. The other edge is a trimming or limbing edge, called the "stunt" edge. It's designed to take more abuse--ground with less taper for smaller wood, e.g., taking the limbs off a felled tree, etc.

  • @ByteMeDammit
    @ByteMeDammit 14 лет назад

    Whoa! Happy birthday. I got a GB axe for my B-day this year too! Was only a Forest Hatchet though. I'd love one of the dbl bit felling axes myself. They make excellent axes.

    most of my axes were rehab'd after finding them without handles. They are mostly pre 1950 and work amazingly well. Once I rehandle them they get put to work. I just purchased my first new one. It is a Husqvarna made by Bruks.

    Happy BD Hicock45 I gotta say I'm in love with knives too. Bought a nice one while visiting Toledo Spain and a dual knife set while visiting Alaska. (Wife was NOT happy about that purchase lol). LIve in the big city so I don't get to do much with them but they are something to see.

  • @TheAcebass666
    @TheAcebass666 10 лет назад +4

    Does it look like the blades were different thicknesses I couldn't tell ones normal thinner for cutting and ones supposed to be thicker for roots or nots or things close to the ground so you don't jack the thinner side all up

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  14 лет назад

    @mdlannin , I think it's the gunfire that keeps them stirred up! Since I shoot so much, the cicadas around here over the last 25 years have learned that they have to be louder in order to communicate! :-)

    That's a nice axe my friend. I recently picked up a little Husqvarna hatchet, which is by no means as nice as a GB, but they're nice for the money...very comparable to a Wetterlings, which is like a GB that's a little rougher around the edges, for a little less money. I believe they were actually made by Wetterlings at one time. Now they're produced by Hultafors Bruks, also out of Sweden. Apparently they use the same suppliers for the raw materials. Ground a little different tho. Happy birthday!
