Dude, when you're limbing a fallen tree only take off the limbs on the opposite side of the tree, then move to the other side of tree and take the limbs on the other side. It's going to skip off there sometime and you're going to take a hatchet to the shin one day.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

That’s a fact

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

Hultafors group owns Hults Bruk and Husqvarna. Both are excellent but the quality is a little better with the Hults Bruk in my experience. I thought the heads on the Husqvarna were cast where as the heads on the Hults Bruk was hammer forged. I could be wrong though.

[@francissobotka8725]

Husqvarna head is forged just the same with the same steel ,Difference is level of finishing and the makers msrk.

[@amirabbaslotfi1191]

Good and expert explanation. Thanks alot.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TSNchannel]

Excelents axes, good revitions

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Thank you kindly!

How did you get John Malkovich to narrate?

[@MarcBtrs]

Better to compare the Husqvarna camping axe vs the almike they are exactly the same tool with less than half the price. Marketing wise when you engrave the brand hults bruk on something it's going to get a higher price than Husqvarna's brand. Regarding which is sharper than which, after using the axes for a period of time you will have to resharpen them anyway i have the Husqvarna camping axe got it for 65$ in Lebanon 🇱🇧 it's an amazing axe

[@brentfraunfelder892]

Very helpful, i like the hults better.

[@SmithWesson90]

I just ordered the Helko Werk Traditional Rheinland Pack axe hand made in 🇩🇪.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Very cool!

[@rajeevprasad3711]

Hi, enjoy your channel and content. I'm no bushcrafting expert or a lumberjack - only an armchair observer. I believe that the differences may also be due to whether the axe/hatchet head is either a Felling or Splitting type design. Afterall, not everybody in the world bushcrafts in Boreal type forests - hence type of trees' and their respective wood densities all over the world differ. As a side research, do have a look at what the shape of axe-heads of competition lumberjacks look like.... Kindest regards and all the best from Gold Coast, Australia. :)

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

I've been hearing that lately. Maybe that is a point to concede on. As my experiences hover around Alaska and the Boreal Forest at large.

[@maguraboy]

The difference between the Husqvarna and the Hults Bruk is not the brand but the model.Husqvarna has absolutely the same model like the lighter Hults Bruk you show here.So is the Hults Bruk Anake the same as the Husqvarna shown in this video.

[@marklobbett455]

I stand to be corrected but the Husky carbon steel axes are made by Hultafors & are their 2nd quality finish but are very good!!

[@j.p.4541]

Great info on axes, where’s the CR Pacific?

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Im mortified. 😳😳😳😳

[@johnmutton799]

Try the husqvarna hiking hatchet!

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Will do!

[@julesgardet659]

The Husqkvarna is a different type of ax, it is intended for chopping and splitting not as a bush crafting as the other two are.

[@DarkZtorm]

Haha Husquarna are made by Hults bruk. Lol, same guys hand forge them.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Yikes

[@EmilReiko]

@@AlaskanFrontier1 why yikes, its pretty cool - you can get husquarna axes that are identical to hults bruks... The further the reach the better, when you buy either - its really about supporting a very very old axe forge and buying into the continuation of some industral cultural history...

[@shorty7943]

I love my CRK Pacific its just perfect... but to be true mine looks totaly different than yours and has no long wood handle 😂

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

😳😳😳😳😳 I'm mortified

[@wamps0127]

I thought this was a Chris Reeves video? Glad I'm not the only one who F's up! LOL

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Oof 😬😬😬😬😬

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Hey at least you have all your fingers speaking of F ups!!!

[@kevinmonahan54]

4:15 just wanted to throw this out there u can get that same thin edge on the cheaper none premium haultafors axes...so not really notable

[@menotel]

I got a Husqvarna to give to the neighbor when they want to borrow an axe.

[@johnmutton799]

All made by the same company! Husqvarna make another hatchet called the camp axe and same as wildlife, but curved handle. They all have the same steel. And Husqvarna have better grain orientation in the handles. I bought camp axe, forest axe,and carpenter axe for the same price of the small forest axe! Makes sense. And the masks re not the basic as you have on the basic hatchet. That cost £20 in the uk.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Thanks for the info!

[@martinmiller1087]

Where's the Chris Reeve Pacific? ... Have you been smoking too much Tanana Red?

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

😳😳😳😳😳 corrected.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Wrong video for the title. It's axes not crk pacific

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

I realize that now 😳😬

[@Wildwestwrangler]

@@AlaskanFrontier1 still a good video, but might be in need of a title edit lol although if you didn't have time or a place to fix up the Husqvarna then I'd definitely buy the hults or gransfors

[@feelthebowes]

Good comparison brother! Thanks. Pretty sure “fitment” isn’t a real word… but who cares it sounds good! Lol ✌🏼

[@NGMonocrom]

Sure, the Husqvarna is handmade in Sweden.... with realistically the absolute barest minimum amount of time spent by that human-being in going over each one, since they typically sell for only $50.oo a pop. Compared to _almost_ 3x as much for a similar sized Hults Bruk. *That* is the one getting the amount of time a well-made hatchet deserves in human hands. Yet, technically, both brands are telling the truth when they say their hatchets are handmade in Sweden. The devil is in the details though.

[@urbanlumberjack]

You would hope the price increase means a quality increase. But it really doesn’t work like that. The hults bruk axes fail just like the husqvarna. I have both HB and Husqvarna axes. Handles are the same, heads are the same with the HB having a slightly longer bit. The Husqvarna stamp is actually far more clear. On the husky. The sheath is better on the HB but not by much. It wouldn’t justify the double or double and a half price increase

[@calebfuller4713]

Ironically, they are both made by Hultafors in the same factory. Hultafors, Hultsbruk and the Swedish-made Husqvarna axes are basically the same thing, although perhaps they spend less time finishing/sharpening the Husqvarnas. In any case the Huskies are exceptional value overall IMHO.

[@roberthandsome2015]

At 2:57 you said, "let's jump into it". My GOD!

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Sorry!

[@B61Mod12]

move the axe closer to the camera

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Sorry about that

[@bladerunner_92]

lol, maybee u wold take husqvarna camping axe and then compare and talk? because this comparison is totally wrong

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Interesting.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

No you are not supposed to do more work with an unrefined hatchet!!! You are supposed to do more work, before you work!!! For nearly a hundred dollars saved what did you expect?!!! You are supposed to do the refinements yourself in lieu of paying!!! So no whining, grab a file and a puck, and some sand paper and make it what you want and it'll be as good as the bruks!!!

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

😳😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭😭

[@Wildwestwrangler]

@@AlaskanFrontier1 it's ok I still love you buddy!!!

[@gtrul3s387]

A good axe will last you a lifetime. Do i care about spending 100$ more and getting a beautiful piece of art with a 20 years warranty? Absolutely not! Even more when I’m thinking about all the good time i’ll pass in the wood enjoying my perfect tool. To each their own i guess!!!

[@Airik1111bibles]

Somebody didn't title this one right ... That's it I'm unsubbing this is false advertisement😏😜

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

I would too.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

😳😳😳😬😬😬😬

[@messerprinz]

Something wrong with the titel????

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Yep I screwed up 😳😳😳

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Apparently something is wrong with your spell check!!! Lol😉😄😝
