BUDGET vs Luxury! What's the REAL Difference?

[@VikingPreparedness]

I knew before you started (and suspect you did as well) the final order would be Plumb, Fiskars, Space Hatchet. Loved the vid thanks.

[@ONThree]

Yes! Thanks for watching.

[@Wheeling88]

If ya are willing to spend $200 on a hatchet ,so be it .i prefer the warmth of a wood handle ,especially for 15-20 bucks, then take the other 185-180 $ to buy a limbing axe with mask & sharpening system for them both & still have cash left over..just my .02 tho to each his own. Great info Jason 👍🏻

[@ONThree]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

[@davidgodwin651]

I buy old vintage Plumbs, Collins, True Temper and Norlund hatchets and re-handle them and refurbish them, excellent heat treat and performance and the satisfaction of knowing they worked well for my ancestors and they will do well for me.

[@JohnTBlock]

The Plumb, no question.

[@kentgreenough75]

Here in Finland we have all kinds of Sanvik hatchets and axes in old used tool shops, cheap, sometimes as little as €5! A thing of joy!

[@ONThree]

Wow. What a treasure to be found. I’d love to visit Finland one day.

[@garthland]

Estwing makes great ones too

[@richardhenry1969]

I was gonna say the same thing and its a very affordable hatch that most people have owned over 20years.

[@jeremybryant5778]

Indeed

[@ONThree]

Thanks for sharing

[@ChrisEdwards-o6b]

Love my Fiskars!! I have the splitting ax and the camp ax. Neither have ever failed me.

[@greyscout01]

I imagine the light Titanium hatchet was designed specifically as a "Pack Hatchet", for minimal weight on long hikes. Hard to beat old school hickory! It's a winner! I do have a Fiskars because it's what I could afford at the time... it does the job well.

[@thevirginiabushcrafter8833]

A Hatchet, the Estwing Sportsman Hatchet, is my go-to cutting tool.

[@ONThree]

Awesome

[@DiegoMolina-m9q]

Hey Jason! Huge fan of your videos! EDC today is sencut sachse an old ka-bar hunter, Victorinox huntsman, bic slim flick custom mini altoids tin, DIY mechanical pencil, CRKT minimalist rovyvon e1 hybrid, times e perdition, zebra v-301, big idea design mini pen, timex expedition, grim workshop paracord bracelet, a banana bandana, and smith and Wesson swf-606

[@SakuraisabelBuonanotte]

more comfortable, and it’s also not a big deal, which makes me feel relieved. I love a good kislux because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing. That’s the part. That’s it. I feel like people discriminate against knockoffs, but for me, I pause when I buy trendy stuff in bulk or when I feel the over-consumption frenzy is coming for me. (This is something I struggle with, haha! I can be easily convinced to buy things I don’t wear or use. They literally have tags on them and I’ll forget I even bought something and I’ll still have 2 or 3 of those in my closet.) Love this video!

[@forrestgoodwin5693]

I like the old school one .

[@jasongarling20]

@12:45. The book hatchet comes to mind ... and also.. the best hatchet is the one you have on you!

[@dannygrissom754]

I have the Fiskars hatchet and enjoy it alot. I will soon pick up one of the "old school" hatchets from Harbor Freight bc I do belive it will do a great job for what I need!! Thanks for another great video!

[@thomasbrandon5111]

The plum gets my vote

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing , YAH bless brother !

[@larryduttry9400]

I love vintage axes/hatchets.. that being said Fiskars are actually a great value. Basically the Morakniv companion HD of the axe world. They are extremely versatile and cost effective. The vintage hatchets, especially in a scout/sportsman’s style are made to be used hard and will just perform sooooo well. Excellent steel, excellent heat treatment.. everything is designed for function and it has form. I’ll take a good vintage axe or a fiskars (in that order) over these boutique gimmick tools every time.

[@dlrmon1]

I would also say your E-bike is similar to the Titanium Hatchet. You’re Plumb Hatchet is very similar to an old Swiss hatchet I’ve had since I was a kid. It’s on its third re-handle and te-profile similar to my twice restored 73 Yamaha CT175 that I paid 250 bucks for in 1975. Both still going strong!

[@jeremybryant5778]

Fiskars ftw. I personally own and use the 24" hatchet and 36" and love em both. They serve me very well

[@ONThree]

Nice!

[@stevelovesmusic4788]

Same . ... Love on 3

[@ONThree]

Thanks!

[@jasongarling20]

I'm an old school kinda guy myself, the petina.. the comfort is also very important to me!

[@williamirelan9332]

Simple the less energy you expend carrying the hatchet the more energy required to cut wood . The more wood you cut the more it pays to carry the heavy hatchet and the less time you spend cutting.

[@chris1638]

Good to know. Thanks

[@ONThree]

You bet

[@oldbonesbushcraftrodjackso474]

The old plumb is the most expensive in that bunch it is a beautiful hatchet I have never spent more than 5 dollars on a axe head . Even for my near mint hudsons bay loggers axe I would love to own that plumb. The titanium you can chuck it The fiskers will break Give me the plumb. ultralite is dangerous Toughen up pack some weight . Those half assed tools will get you into trouble can,t stress that enough . Assoon as i seen the plumb i never even paid attention to the others That titanium is a joke .

[@CathyDickersonFireflyMill]

I like a wood handle on a hatchet.

[@Allthingsprepping]

There is no school like old school... I just love the wooden handle axe. That would be my choice.

[@nicorando3788]

In D2 just Crazy!!!

[@RyanThompson-f9y]

Nothing wrong with $15. Gets the job done and you can make another handle if needed. .....And it's nice to see another Southpaw! "Everyone was born right handed, but only the greatest overcome." -not sure who said this. lol

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

The way i see it, it has 3 main categories: steel structure, type of edge geometry, & fitNfinish...are the 3 big things that effects quality/pricing, eh?

[@hoss5852]

You have an amazing property . I'm jealous. God bless you.

[@jamesflener6889]

I have a ww2 hatchet marked US on the blade, my favorite!

[@ONThree]

Awesome

[@jeffechols5302]

See ya on the next one

[@stevencunningham4680]

The Plumb is my first choice then the Fishers and last but not least I'd take the space hatchet if I had to. That all metal design would give your arms spasms after a while. Jason if you're not careful I'll sneak in your barn at night and steal that Plumb hatchet. LOL 😆. Those jewels are getting hard to find.

[@whammointhewoods]

Algorithmic post! I like my Council Tools Woodcraft Pack Axe. It serves my purposes perfectly. Fun video!

[@ONThree]

Cool, thanks!

[@christopherhill1678]

Fiskars makes a folding saw that i would put up against a silky or Bahco Laplander any day. When it comes to the hatchets and play devils advocate, if you only had the axe (no knife), would your choice be the same?

[@tomritter493]

If i use one i use my old plumb or collins

[@blueridgerealtor]

Great info!

[@Q-BinTom]

Fiskars kind of guy right here.

[@mediurs]

I don't know if you know it. Fiskars gives lifelong guaranty. I changend here on the farm to Firskas years ago without any issue

[@ONThree]

I didn’t. Thanks for informing me

[@ronald-d7u]

Old school every day the wood is replaced easily I have some over 60 years old that are still as good as new.

[@jasongarling20]

@7:22 is that a gun in your waist or you happy to see me!?!? Lol... pelvic crush... is the yt friendly version!😂😂

[@ONThree]

Yes and yes 😄

[@calebdoner]

By luxury, I though you were going to be testing a gransfors bruks. That silly titanium thing doesn't deserve the title if luxury no matter what it costs.

[@shaneanderson4872]

If I'm paying 200 dollars for a hatchet titanium or not it better have something better than a paracord handle that's ozark trail quality

[@ONThree]

Yes!

[@JakeRyan-k6h]

Wouldn't want a D2 hatchet. Instead of rolling and being easily sharpened in field, D2 would chip and be harder to sharpen. It being that light, it's more like a tomahawk

[@tomritter493]

Jason hows granny doing ?

[@ONThree]

Fantastic. Still running circles around me

[@johnpoole8321]

I'd take a dozen plumbs over that skinny 200$ thing any day all day.

[@johnpoole8321]

Also not a fan of the back of the Fiskar

[@ONThree]

Me too
