[@Veesaki]

"The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten". Henry Royce ....... Great. Tool Tac. !!!!!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Kirk Veesaert so true!

[@xxgoodboy1499]

Your swearing is ON POINT. Makes it really fun to watch

[@paulwidomski8608]

I got another two weeks til Im debt free. I will be buying this maul as a reward for paying everything off. Great video my friend!!!!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Congrats bro!

[@lioncross1849]

I love your style Tac. You got me into RMJ and now GBA

[@Ts_Evildroid]

That is quite an amazing beast of a maul! Beautiful too. Now get the pile split!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Tim Schmidt im tryin lol

[@improviselife6024]

Another good one tac. Helluva gift.

[@jeffstanton4250]

Nice gift Mrs Tac !

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Tac. Keep the cutting edge of the maul toward the edge of the log. Also it is best to work around a large piece rather than trying to center split. Take outside slices off first and then go for the center split. Peace.

[@daviddrake3481]

I was debating on getting a gb small splitting maul for winter backpacking excursions. You can consider it bought. Gransfor Bruks for life!

[@MaZEEZaM]

Is it just me or do you also feel like he should be wearing a power ranger outfit :D lol

[@andrewmoroney2827]

Hi Tac, Stumbled upon your channel today... absolutely love your commentary :)

[@Survival-zn2lb]

Why the hell do you only have 42 k are you fucking kidding mee

[@cbr600rrturbo]

tell me about it bro

[@survivivaled4786]

Survival 101 I know right.

[@hankm16]

Survival 101 11 mouths later and only at 52 k TF WRONG WITH KZbin :(

[@cosmicbilly]

Love your French sir. The swearing makes for a super fun video! Thanks for the content!

[@jffrocks]

Reminds me of Monty Python's Lumberjack song: Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory.

[@lyokon8]

I love to see an American person reviewing on KZbin that actually has a hint.

[@johns311]

I must have one! I need to stop watching your damn videos. But I can't! Thanks for sharing brother!

[@salottin]

Aww yeah! That thing deserves a fucking 10!

[@apollokitcnesandbathrooms]

Something else for my shopping list, a scout leader tip " pop the axe in the put the log on your shoulder. Slam the back of the axe down on the block and use its own weight to split it. Mostly works first time and much less work.

[@gaelic8]

Dude your like an axe testing deadpool.. love it haha

[@dirtydillon3196]

I'm good between three tools for splitting . My dad's 8 lb maul from when he was a kid. A simple wedge. And a regular 4 lb felling axe. I split big 4 foot poplar logs with 12+ inch diameter in less than 10 swings. (For bonfires)

[@AdventureTimeOutdoors]

I don't own a GB but it is on the list. That was awesome. What a beast of a tool

[@PsylomeAlpha]

+Adventure Time Outdoors I'll get one or two once I get my land in the country.

[@keithmckeith]

How can this hand forged Swedish beast cost less than half of some kids-toy spyderco folding knife? Truly a bargain!

[@stormypole]

I love your nervy laughter.... he he he

[@bubbavape5180]

If you all pay attention he switches the axe with a different one in the end of the video 10:30 in the video look at the diff the camera pauses

[@MIIIB]

I had seen a lot of videos..... A lot..... But this dude had an orgasm trying Gransfors Bruk . Funny and excellent video man! Perfect comparison for felling and splitting axe.

[@newhampshirebound8551]

That first piece was more than 12 inches! Thats a sick job by hand.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

NewHampshire Bound your right

[@Stallion23]

"Was that 3 or 4? Fucking Eh!" Lol Awsome!

[@jdeluisa]

First off, I love Gransfors Bruks. Their axes and tools are first rate and I own several. However, I noticed you compared a splitting axe to a splitting maul so obviously there would be a noticeable difference.. Gransfors Bruks also makes a splitting axe and that would have been a more useful comparison.. Nonetheless, their maul is AWESOME!

[@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors]

Nice badass axe there Tac, you should check out H&B Forge. If you like Grasfors and Bruks you'll like these. They focus more so on tomahawks, all handmade, 1095 and here in the USA. I know your a tomahawk guy, should try one out. Love mine, its still my favorite tomahawk. Still hair shaving sharp after a lot of use, just strap it a few times here in there, the edge is convex like my Blackjack tac ops 8.

[@mealex303]

Yo tac!! What I picked up off my Dad was he used a felling axe a touch bigger than the old one you put together but used a heavy plastic sledge hammer along with it he would get a good strike then leave it in the wood and follow with the sledge to split the logs ? He uses the same idea with a small axe and lump hammer for camping and I find it works well. But man your New One rocks bro people shall call you Thor from now on lol!! Peace out

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Alex piv thanks bro

[@JJ-qi9zn]

When splitting wood try putting the logs in an old tire. It will save you from chasing after the wood and miss hits hit the tire saving your legs and maul.

[@tylernewcomb4509]

Hey tactical, would you go with the Becker bk2 or the Ontario rat 5? For bushcraft and survival? Are there any others of this style and in this price range you recommend? I would like it to be under $100 but I want a good quality blade. Thanks Tyler

[@davidberry8498]

Your vids rock Tact! Keep em rolling.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

David Berry will do

[@drandrewclarke]

Bought one Got it today. Fuck me. Brilliant. Worth the money

[@buckeyebunnyhunter]

Gransfors Bruks is the SHIT! Love that Maul. I have the small forest ax and love it.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

***** they make great stuff

[@jeremyg371]

Side-splitting fun, you could say your old axe kicked your axe. thx brother tac man.

[@Antoninorosetta]

WHAT MATERIAL DID YOU USE TO WRAP THE HANDLE NEAR THE HEAD??? I NEED TO KNOW!!!

[@Dustflinger80]

i have a 10lb standard maul, i split logs like that in one occasionally two whacks.

[@ТУМАН78]

good video

[@Chris-hq7ul]

What is the intro song? It was so beautiful

[@walden6272]

Miss Tact got you that? You lucky dawg. If a girl ever buys me a Gransfors I would probably put a ring on her. LOL

[@stormwolf6097]

dude your freakin awesome and funny as hell sometimes man and yea that damn axe like holy shit it is good and sharp holy mother lol

[@MattSalgeKNIFEJUNKIE13]

Hell yea brother rippin it mrs TAC is a hell of a women

[@cbr600rrturbo]

KNIFEJUNKIE 13 yes sir!

[@RichAllfieldnohit]

Don't know how I missed this vid, must be workin' too much. Holy B'Jesus, that thing is HUGE! Yeah man, it's tough to beat GB, they're some baaaad Swedish boys.

[@paulballard6771]

Hey tact could you talk about hand wrapping handles for blades. Like what is best to use? Stays tight, is waterproof and best way to do it. I have been wrapping handles lately but i have to improvise materials and techniques

[@cbr600rrturbo]

paul ballard ill see what I can do man

[@philhoffman3655]

that's one sweet blade tac,wish my misses would get me one.lol

[@voktanagain5106]

whats that first axe that you are swinging around in the intro?

[@falloutm134]

Hardcore splitting right there. Awesome axe to

[@randalflagg9086]

It's not an axe it's a maul numb nuts😂

[@PsylomeAlpha]

+Randal Flagg type of axe, man.

[@anndrogynous815]

I'm not really a fan of using a splitting log, I think it takes a lot of power out of my swing. I'd rather use a low-cut stump. I'm not really tall or strong, but splitting wood should be done close to the ground, in my opinion. I may have to liberate a plastic wire spool for a good splitting base. The flats might protect my grass or driveway?

[@LordEagle]

You can call yourself Tactical#Lumberjack. Pretty awesome Maul !!!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

jamespaul02 :)

[@woodlandsnorth]

Man, you got right excited when you saw how sharp that blade was! God vid.

[@jessewatt5528]

LMFAO 2:43 "fucking get off me bug"

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Aww Yeahhh! Very nice!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

***** thanks Mark!

[@ohhaiderhowisyou]

I really wanna see you test a John Neeman brother! The price tag on them though.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Fsims 97 me to!

[@TKDLION]

That is nice. I don't know if I have gotten a gift that good.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

TKDLION I hope soon you do :)

[@miles02000]

Frickin tactical Chris Farley...

[@totemtommy4097]

Nice comparison playboy! Gotta get me sum! :)

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Totem Tommy it rocks bro!

[@Foges584584]

I wonder how good the Condor Splitting Axe would be for the budget minded. As this one is close to $300 where I live and the Condor is $90.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Foges584584 I should find out

[@Foges584584]

***** Yes you should bro. Haha

[@williamm.2934]

hey TAC are you Canadian ?

[@ericferguson9989]

Get off my axe, fly!! Haha!

[@gracianinathaniel]

Nice vid tac

[@cbr600rrturbo]

nathaniel graciani thanks

[@flatbillboy85]

Love the LOTR music at the beginning! Great video as always, man.

[@t.knotto8942]

that Axe is sharper than some of my knives 😢

[@czechmate9591]

Go the GB you can't beat it, good video

[@cbr600rrturbo]

czechmate9591 so true

[@thomasmark1808]

mb milton bradley ?

[@Donlewis4683]

It's easier if you split it on the ground and not on a stump. You're losing half of you're down force swing. 👍

[@chippytucker6318]

Where can I get one of those in Canada? I want one now!!

[@keithderinger7140]

+Chippy Tucker lee valley bro

[@gajner]

Is that a CRACK that is visible on the handle from 1:36 to 1:39 ??? OMG

[@DJMoore-001]

LMAO, Oh the smart ass I could be, But that is a Bad Ass Splitter. Awesome Job Brother.

[@jardimmanuelpijpker9781]

Tac is this the Large version or a smaller splitting maul (;

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Jardim Manuel Pijpker large

[@davidbarb1636]

He sounds like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys. Lmao

[@Dick.C.Normous]

I fucking love you Tac, S/O from Ireland!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Dick C. Normous haha your awesome

[@guncotton1950]

All good Canadians have these splitting mauls for emergency if your beer keg tap breaks and a keg must be split like a beer nut--- cheers from Americas hat

[@ryanpetroff6136]

I think the booklet said its Damascus steel

[@MrMatts076]

Is your name John? You live in Ontario? Used to live in Newbrunswick?

[@hennessy9993]

+Matt S no hahaha hes in new york

[@cupcakemadness909]

Sweet like cupcakes that axe. :)

[@MartyInTheWoods]

3:45 why does it not split? The axe head was not made for splitting really. Good choice getting a splitting maul!

[@farouq1983]

I need a maul in my life! :D

[@chazzops]

Holy SH*T! OMC! Split that!!!

[@allanwells4886]

GB make great axes and mauls but the new Fiskars Iso core maul (not the x27axe) is incredible. At my age (ancient) I can't justify buying one as the x27 plus my old maul meet my needs. Anything tougher and I resort to the chainsaw or hydraulic splitter but if your young and just starting out check out the Fiskars maul.

[@PsylomeAlpha]

it took you four hits to get the old axe _in_ to the wood by about two inches.

[@trippeetoast6440]

that first axe looks more like a forest axe, maybe a felling axe

[@hunterduncan1078]

TrippeeToast that's what I thought. The grind on that axe and the thickness of it looks much more like a felling axe as opposed to an actual splitting maul which has a much more wedge-like shape to the entire blade.

[@dib0018]

Is this the only channel that hasn't sold out?

[@FR3EKELITE]

5lb maul Nice and light. 8lbs is where its at.

[@charliemcawesome5012]

You need a wedge. That’s how to properly do that size of wood.

[@frankdatank6651]

Brother tac, you sold me on the GB Small Forrest Axe…now you sold me on the splitting maul haha. Now I gotta get it haha

[@dan-dan-da-treeman]

Damn it ***** I am sitting here is drinking my beer and you are getting me all wore out watching you swing that pos ax. Stop it! Use that bad as cack shaving mall! Lol.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

dandandatreeman haha :)

[@MartyInTheWoods]

1:30 MB = Mattias Blixt-Pettersson

[@captiankidandcrew]

MB made my small forest ax!

[@mattrobson8230]

RMFN same here 😮

[@jeffwilliams5155]

you might try using a set block that is not so tall as you are losing a significant amount of torgue in your shortened swing.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

I switched to a lower one

[@justindawson3872]

tac do a video showing how you put a tap wrap on an axe

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Justin Dawson I did

[@sbenton827]

I thought he sounded a little like Chris Farley ,... then he laughed...

[@miles02000]

Steven Benton that's what I'm saying! He's gotta be going after that sound

[@nrod6097]

Damn how much land do you have?

[@cbr600rrturbo]

Just 12 acres but surrounded by over 1,000

[@somedude1590]

Whuddya mean " I'll even aim for the crack" ? You ALWAYS aim for the crack.

[@stormypole]

Some dude ..... that’s the way with dudes... a crack is hypnotising for guys

[@Tardisius]

Nice Zombie Killer =))

[@cbr600rrturbo]

***** hell ya!

[@hugoakerlund5114]

the steel is high carbon steel

[@MetalManiac95]

This dude cracks me up lol

[@axeandturtle]

Greatfors!!!!!!!

[@johncraftenworth7847]

Hey friends, check out the Canadian Outdoor Equipment Company (google it). 163 I think US...and free shipping to the USA! They also have other Gransfors Bruks axes at good prices.

[@alexanderfernestad9460]
