Nice video. You got right to the point. So many other videos are blah, blah, blah...then the point. Yours was 👍

[@1969rbmustangboss]

Very nice video. I did learn a thing or two. Several things, in fact. Thanks for the vid.

[@MrWhiteguy6]

[@Danishbushcrafter]

[@TheDude1603]

I have the small hunthing axe SaW and that's hell of a good product !!

[@daleschmidt7157]

Ballistol works great too. This has been around and used by sportsmen worldwide before WWI. It protects steel, rubber, wood and leather. I've used it on my firearms and fishing equipment for decades.

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Thanks Tom! Good to hear!

[@ekhaat]

Good advice

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Thanks!

the axes I store for long term, I rub them heavily with stick candles. This seals in the metal and it also gives the axe lubrication when splitting and cutting wood. With leather dressing be sure to read the lable carefully. neats foot oil is great for leather but neats foot oil 'compound' has mineral oil added. Mineral oil is not bad for leather but it will damage the stitching that hold the leather together. I use full head covering sheaths. I found a low cost supplier if interested

[@Danishbushcrafter]

I think i need to check that out! :D

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Very much welcome John! :-) Thanks man, i appreciate it! Yeah, you are so right! People need to know how dangerous a piece of cloth with linseed oil is! It could potentially cost them their home, family, pets or even their own life. Take care mate Rasmus.

[@Danishbushcrafter]

As far as the wood goes, it's more difficult. The metal head can easily be protected with lard, tallow or even resin spread out to form a coating on the metal.

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Thanks! I will! :-)

[@MBSRbushcraft]

Good instruction my friend. But next time when you open a botlle like that: Push and turn... that's the secret LOL. I've got a light weight Fiskars axe with not much to maintain ;-)

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Thanks man...

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Thanks ;) Haha, yes! I will remember that! xD Yeah, fiskars axes don't take much care time at all, and they work great as well!

[@T2MOSurvival]

Nice work brother. Atb Argo

[@simonless7351]

perfect :-)

[@Danishbushcrafter]

You're right! Vaseline will do an alright job aswell, true, true!

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Sure, i will! :)

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Good comment

[@MBSRbushcraft]

p.s. I forgot to say: Do you know Balistol oil? It can be used for almost everything such as metal, leather, wood, skin, fur weapons etc. I really love this product!

[@dragland7268]

Is that leather treatment the same as mink oil? Very well-done and informative video. I should be getting the Wildlife axe next Saturday. Looking forward to it.

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Så lidt, håber du kunne bruge det Jeppe ;)

[@thecrowrains]

@ approximately 0.11 seconds he states that his particular axe in hand as a "Grands ______ Brooks" (?) small forest axe? Anyone care to restate his favorite axe brand? GREAT video and thank you from Alaska for sharing :)

[@Danishbushcrafter]

True, true... Hultafors do well also, but the finish is not near the same...

[@Gluckstadt007]

How about the inside of the Sheath. Could you put a little of your leather cleaner into the inside? thanks!

[@matoscristiano]

condor also got very good axe for less money, check them out

[@pbbeast1788]

always work from the pole (back) of the Axe to the edge and you can't cut yourself

[@Danishbushcrafter]

LOOOL

[@Darthdeedee91]

Can you jsut use linseed oil on the metal part as well?

[@Danishbushcrafter]

Darryl Lobo I don't see why you shouldnt...

[@pbbeast1788]

it makes it sticky but you could

[@AIsForMan]

Er det rå linolie du bruger?

[@Danishbushcrafter]

AIsForMan Ja.
