I have an "axe" made in the 50's by my grandfather. It's a piece of leaf spring welded to a piece of 3/4x1.5, ¼ wall tube. It has been in countless deer. I'm glad to see someone else thinking of an axe as more than just a spitting tool. Keep up the great work.

[@williamirelan9332]

I don't know if you have ever experienced the head of a tomahawk shaving the handle with use ;a piece of deer rawhide between the head and handle will protect the handle it also makes a good shim for a thin handle incase it does shrink.

[@nicorando3788]

Great video, Not many people do this anymore because miss understood in their potential and versatility. Rudimental little handle will make the all process of making the long handle even faster

I mentioned this in another video but when I was in Boy Scouts we carried a hatchet A pocket knife and usually a fixed blade if you can nothing huge tho. And we use knives For knife tasks, and we use the hatchet for Big Wood processing Tasks. My grandfather always had a saying big tools for big tasks, in small tools for small tasks. I know you can baton modern knifes, but many of them you can't as well and you miss out on opportunities of carrying a cool knife for other particular reasons. Basically don't Baton your knife, because that's what your hatchet is for was the idea. I understand the one tool mentality, I get it its cool, and any pinch if it's all you had. But I'd much rather carry a pocket knife and (The hatchet) for my main survival tool, more than a survival knife One last a survival knife could split wood or chop wood as well As a hatchet. Then use the hatchet/tomahawk/ boys axe, ECT, to Baton/split, process wood for everything else. There's a great many things you can do to your hatchet/tomahawk, to make it a magnificent Fire Starting tool, 90 the top of the axe head for striking a Ferro Rod, high carbon steel so you can throw Sparks on char, (thin the bit) so it can slice or skinn better, tho thats a knife task put the proper Hatchet / tomahawk can you do the same. But still keep the back of the head wide to split good, use the back for a hammer for wooden Stakes or peggs, hell split stones, or splinter bone. It's a really versatile tool with little work, not to mention self-defense as just 1 more reason.

The Jason’s are super talented. Job well done

[@desertchild.]

Having a fat wood handle for your feral rod is genius! That is the first time I have ever seen that. Thank you for the idea I'm going to make me one now 💯

[@unfi6798]

Great job mate, just with that Tomhead. Now try making a boomerang with that Tomahawk using the same wood. A challenge if you wish to accept it.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Never made a boomerang. I like it!!

[@bobc9744]

Good stuff Jason. Thanks for taking us along.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Happy Easter Jason & Family I like the half size axe handle great for those who are 5'3 lol.

[@darthbaggins6262]

I’d love to have a hand forged Hawk. Gonna have to look into it. This made me bust out the cold steel trail hawk again though.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Hard to be Hobo Forge. Buy once and pass it down to the grandkids.

[@marvinbrock960]

Great video! ♥️. Happy Easter!

[@tomritter493]

Great job Jason thays a skill needed tool repair

[@frankhernigle8102]

I love making my own handles. Just word of warning though.put a plug in the tomahawks eye or else you risk bending it when you beat it with a baton.

[@loriflarson4236]

Awesome! Thanks Jason

[@michaelallen9571]

Really would like to see a more detailed video of using the sun for navigation. If you could do that sometime? Or if anyone can recommended a good video please do. Navigation in the outdoors is definitely a week point for me and any video using natural sources would be great to learn. I know how to use a compass but would like to understand it without a compass

[@johngalt5504]

If it does loosen up when it dries, you could just put a wedge in it.

[@johnpoole8321]

Great job Jason , happy Easter to you and the family. Made me glad I picked up 4 hickory handles tho recently for redoes seeing i'm getting past those barbaric days as the wife always called it LOL.

[@KrKr_FL]

Very useful info. Haven't seen a handle making vid in years. Great vid

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Glad it was helpful!

Great video brother

[@jeffslaven]

Nice job Jason! I have a CRKT Woods Chogan. All the work was done by the factory accept the sharpening. I can slice paper with it now!

[@stephenbarabas6286]

😂 for $70 CRKT doesn't do the most important part? A dull hatchet is useless and not many people can or want to spend extra time doing what CRKT should have already done.

[@jeffslaven]

@@stephenbarabas6286 Dude, if you can't put an edge on your own tools, you need to go back to prepper school and take some notes.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

@@jeffslaven 🙄 sure guy... That's like saying "it's a great car but I had to rebuild the engine" or "it's a great house except I had to put walls up' I guess using your logic I could sell you a rock a tell you it's a ball but it doesn't bounce. And I love how people read into shit. What's the 1 function of a hatchet? To chop correct? Well I hate to break it to you but people aren't willing to drop $70 plus on a product that doesn't do the 1 thing it's meant for. I'll get right on buying a grinder,files, sharpening stone etc to do what CRKT should have done. Odd how I can buy a estwing,fisker,hults bruk etc and they all work right out of the box. But you keep telling yourself that CRKT is doing a great job.

[@jeffslaven]

@@stephenbarabas6286 Ok, I get your point.

[@miamivice966]

Just curious, how long in real time did it take to craft that handle?

[@SurvivalDispatch]

About 2 hours

Need some boots?

[@jeh966]

Nothing new under the sun

It is amazing what we can accomplish when we have just the basic necessities. This video was worth watching beginning to end 100%. The slight char made it even more authentic, in my opinion. 👍 🔥 🪓
