Excellent. Love that sound too. I use this axe for most of my manual felling and bucking. I worked on the profile, thinning it, and I thinned the handle of course. I really like this axe now. Greetings from Aveyron

Hello my friend. I own the Iltis Canada with 800 grams. The cutting edge was a 'factory cut' and could still be significantly improved. The ax handle is much too thick and inflexible in its original condition. After the handle was 6 mm slimmer and the very pronounced 'neck' was also greatly reduced, it is now the perfect addition to my 362 chainsaw. Nice Video! Stay healthy!

Hello, thanks. I don't polish or keep my heads shinny at all, I like them aging. All I do is make sure to keep rust away, usually oiling the head from time to time is enough, I use the olive oil from the kitchen, just a little spoon does the job.

The sound that you like it makes, is an indication of a perfectly heat treated Carbon steel! the worst the heat treatment, or the softest the steel, the more lower the pitch of the sound, means it starts to sound like it was a hard plastic instead of metal!

Hi! I love this video, but i have a few questions: -I have a stihl universal axe which is also made by ox, i tried thinning the main part of it into 3/4 an inch of thickness, in an oval shape, feels pretty good, but when it comes to the area of the knob, i left it into aproximately half an inch thick, it hurts the back of the thumb, what should i do? leave it in a tear eyed shape instead while the rest is oval-shaped? thick or more thin? -I'm planning to buy an iltis soon, would you mind writing or sending a diagram using the measurements and shapes of the parts of the handle, like thickness and width -Which camera you used for this?

- Hello, the best way to shape a palm swell is to look at your hand when you swing it and see what's in contact, where it huts etc, and try to reshape it accordingly to your hand. I don't believe there is a rule for this, everyone is different. - Regarding the iltis it's a 27 inch long, 2 inch thick near the head and 1,5 inch at the thinnest part near the middle of the handle, width around 5 inch nea the head going down to 2,5 near before the palm swell. But again there is no rule for this, it's how I lie the feel of it but someone else may not like it. - I'm using an old half broken nikon p900

No real advice, start by pushing the cheeks back as much as you can and see how it works from there. The AFA can become really sticky if grinded too much, but it can be solved by shortening the blade a little bit after. I did that, and it became a better splitter while remaining good for chopping.

@@skinnybearthedogs2654 bah écoute je ne suis pas un "ultra" à ce niveau. Personne dans notre groupe, je pense, ne peux prétendre en être déjà à 100% de "sans pétrole", ne serait-ce que parce que tous nous nous retrouvons sur le Net et que le Net ça ne marche pas vraiment sans pétrole :) Il faut savoir faire la part des choses et l'idée est quand-même, puisque nous vivons dans le monde tel qu'il est, d'avoir une attitude responsable et raisonnée de ce qui fonctionne "avec". Moi aussi j'utilise encore une tronçonneuse électrique quand elle est nécessaire. J'ai un travail à temps plein et de gros besoins en bois de chauffe, matériellement je n'aurais simplement pas le temps de tout faire à la main. Mais à chaque fois que je peux et que c'est indiqué je sors la hache plutôt que la machine. Pour faire deux stères pour le fun tout le monde peut se passer de la tronçonneuse. Et puis il y a aussi les circonstances, comme dans ton cas, pas du tout à la cool niveau topologie, tu bosses dans des conditions difficiles et pas sans risques. S'accorder un petit coup de pouce tout à fait raisonnable me semble totalement acceptable. A toi de voir donc...

Merci l'ami, aucune idée du poids final, la tête fait toujours 1.8kg, le point de gravité est quasiment dessus, ce qui fait que je ne sens absolument pas le poids du manche. C'est très étrange parce qu'au final la hache me semble vraiment légère, extrêmement précise grâce au manche court, et pourtant son poids de fer lui donne une certaine brutalité bienvenue qui peut mordre le bois jusqu'à l’œil. Je dirais qu'au final la hache fait 2kg. Mais comme toute la masse est concentrée sur le bout du manche court et le fer, ça donne la sensation qu'elle pèse beaucoup moins.

Hard for me to say, my GB has been so much modified I barely remember how it was, but right now they both great axes. I'd say I prefer the tassie but it's maybe because it's new. I feel like the tassie is less sticky tho, and the way I changed the handle makes it so light while still being an heavy axe, I don't know how to say, it just feel right to swing it now. But both need lot of work to make them good, stock from the boxes they aren't really great, maybe GB is a bit better out of the box. Steel is pretty much the same on both, GB maybe a bit harder. (it's even too hard actually, making it tedious to file) Cheers !
