I used one of these for 6 seasons in the Boundary Waters. Never a problem. An excellent tool made by artists.

[@samadams9557]

I would love to canoe hunt/camp the boundary waters one day. Is that what you were doing out there?

[@MR-qw6zx]

I enjoyed this video. Having owned the small forest axe for a few years while living in the city and enjoying the backroads with my Jeep, I fell in love with the craftsmanship and quality. Never failed me on the trails small or large fallen timber. Now that I am out of the city and on a large lot of land I purchased this axe to handle the lot and compliment my small forest. Great video and detailed review!

[@jdcole2112]

I love how the channel is so thorough in description of gear.

[@DanielPerez-hb2xn]

So glad I stumbled upon this channel! God bless you and the work you do to inform us city folk on outdoor essentials.

[@zacharyriley4122]

Just so you know, the reason certain sheaths like the ones that come with GB axes have those rivets [and no one seems to care about the axe eventually hitting rivets], is curious to many. If you ask the folks somewhere like the folks at GB. they will explain that you always use any soft metal such as copper which is around 3.4 to 4 (like copper-usually is the hardest you can work copper to is about 4) or even a teeny bit harder, you are good. many chopping blocks are harder lol. But yeah, sank into that rivet a few hundredths of a mm into that brass rivet is one of the safest places that forged and hardened carbon steel edge on an axe could be! Kinda funny once it dawns on you after they explain it to you.

[@stevenragsdale9603]

I love mine it is a pie plate chunker! Sinks in deep and pulls out with ease!

[@talong1588]

where do you buy your axes from? and could you do a review on the velvicut American felling axe? thanks

[@stevenhorgan1046]

Hi, how much is the sheath for the axe in the video shipped to the UK

[@wardvandamme7929]

Which handle do you prefer the most? The straight handle or curved handle? And why?

[@4everStrong1]

Congratulations! Great job!

[@ammarhusin4389]

Very very clear how u demonstrated the exe thanks I olso interesting to have one

[@Taffyappleify]

Beautiful leather sheath, real craftsmanship.

[@cammcfarlane9256]

How is it up against hardwood like Sugar maple?

[@EskieRC]

Hey man, I hope this doesn't come off as disrespectful, but is there a way to get that sheathe without that "YAE" stamped on it? The font thats used there looks pretty Flintstone'y, but aside from that, it looks fantastic...

[@Simplelittlelife]

Really digging your channel. And indeed, praise God for everything he provides for us! Cheers!

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+Simple Little Life , hey, thank you! Glad you're enjoying it.

[@gregwalker4236]

great channel--right now i am waiting for gransfors to catch up--hopefully when they do i will still be able to justify buying the american felling axe, and i really want the sheath your dad makes for it--the axe deserves no less!

[@TheJohn93226]

You should definitely make a sheath for the Gransfors Bruks Splitting Wedge as well! Yours is top quality beyond the ones that come with Gransfors Bruks' products, especially the one that comes with their splitting wedge! :)

[@stevenhorgan1046]

Well said, keep up the good reviews & God bless you.. Regards from Yorkshire. Steve.

[@vanzetti7]

Beautiful! Would have loved to have seen it in action.

[@edwarddykstra1]

Great review, and that is a darn nice sheath, too.

[@dansnowman29]

Do you have sheaths for other GB such as the small forest axe or the splitting axe?

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+dan l , small forest axe yes, splitting axe not yet

[@johnsima7147]

How much does the axe head weigh?

[@coldwe]

I thought the whole point in a sheath with the rivets in it was to prevent the axe from coming thru the sheath in case of a hard hit. I’ve always been told don’t buy a sheath without rivets in front of the blade. It’s kinda like owning a gun with a fail safety so you don’t mess the gun up. I mean say a man is walking with the axe on his hip and he falls 6 feet or something in a deep ditch. I would rather put a nick in my axe than it to come thru the sheath and cut me.

[@samadams9557]

My wife just purchased this axe for me (Oct 2023) and there are no steel wedges. I think yours was just manufactured before they stopped. And yes, I have a wonderful wife!

[@edlimajr.1740]

I bet you have a wonderful wife, mine hates everytime I get a new hatchet-axe 😂

[@cowboysam1957]

Those sheaths your Dad makes are beautiful and so is the axe

[@michaelboone5398]

Am I crazy, isn't it Gransfors Bruk with no s at the end?

[@DeePsix501]

Did you sharpen it yourselves prior or is that a factory edge? I love the hand forging and quality Swedish work. Hard to choose between one of these and my True Temper Kelly Perfect.

[@axeandturtle]

GB Factory edge is pretty good. it is shaving sharp

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+DeePsix , that is the factory edge - so far, of the axes I have, GB has perfect edges - honed to the highest standard

[@stonewintjen505]

faultroy I don’t know what you mean this axe is extremely effective but not too you because your axe skills aren’t good enough to be comfortable with it

[@johnnysal5635]

can you both fell and split north American hard wood with this axe?

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

Yes

[@RobFlesher]

Great review! Let me point out that the tool steel and RC hardness on ANY Gransfors axe will chop through rivets like a hot knife through butter.

[@joshlower1]

It works great use the axe properly and it will not chip or crack ever

[@NorwegianWoods]

Looks like a nice axe. The sheath is beautiful :) Thanks for the review - Martin

[@alexgrishkin7562]

Really NICE review. The axe is probably second to none, comparing with its siblings of other brands even though the blade goes a tiny fraction to the right. Your sheath is a masterpiece! But are there any other words, apart from NICE, to describe things in English? Enyway great job, thank you!

[@rowanashby1155]

Beautiful sheath.

[@brendatapia5229]

Yo quiero uno para mi hacha gransfors bruck pero no hay envío a México en Amazon,

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

Check out the link to our website: we have international shipping there.

[@walden6272]

Can you tell me what camera did you use to record this video? I love the quality.

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

sure thing - its a Canon Rebel T2i, lens in the description when you click "show more"

[@walden6272]

lol I should have checked. Thanks.

[@codcade]

How come I can't buy one anymore? Are the out of business or something? I can't buy a gransfors bruks axe anywhere.

[@S8250503]

Looking to buy a second chainsaw, ready next phase after plan demic. Then I thought that fuel may become rationed, so . . . here we are.

[@jonugalde1275]

Thank for the video! You forgot one of the most, if not the most, important measure, can you please give us the bit angle?

[@scottsmith6571]

I want that to be my next axe

[@evanfairbanks2013]

the sheath definitely inst the best it could be, but the rivets are brass so it will not damage the axe itself.

[@scottsmith6571]

U did kinda only do a sheath video

[@parijerviktor6020]

Привет Женя, хотел по интересоваться как тебе понравился этот топор. Не показался он тебе со своими двумя килограммами слишком тяжелым. Думал себе заказать но в магазинах их нет,чтоб пощупать. Рубить умею даже не плохо. Сил тоже хватает. Взял бы его чтоб рубить лежащие, большие и твёрдые деревья. Если что могу и написать по английски. Not much difference for me;) Заранее спасибо !

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

Привет Виктор, топор очень нравится - рубит и принимает заточку как все топоры Грансфорс - исключительно. Тяжеловат для продолжительной работы - но все дело в частоте размаха, можно привыкнуть.

[@parijerviktor6020]

ReviewOutdoorGear спасибо за быстрый reply. У меня есть small forest axe от этой фирмы. Сносил им мощный сухостой, не оптимум конечно. И колун 3,2 кг, им по махать и на спорт не надо.С ним на скорость работал. По этому играю с мыслями насчёт этого топора. У нас он стоит 180€ (в Германии). Был бы он чуть по легче. Думаю всё равно возьму. Там где мы отдыхаем много мертвой акации, очень твёрдая. Ещё раз спасибо. И удачи в дальнейшем творчестве.

[@commentz-1]

Fantastic content.

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

Thank you!

[@TheReviewPigeon]

Was hoping to see some chopping and whatnot over the shealth pitch. either way; its a nice sheath if this one ever breaks on me.

[@David-kg1hc]

Do he make sheaths for the sweedish forest axe?

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

From Gransfors?

[@David-kg1hc]

@@ReviewOutdoorGear yea

[@reality9596]

i just bought it a week ago, hasnt came yet.. : (

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+Reality , I think you'll like it!

[@reality9596]

ReviewOutdoorGear i am impressed with the forest axe, it just isnt quite big enough for the australian trees near my house, the dead gum trees are harder than i thought

[@reality9596]

ReviewOutdoorGear red gum is pretty easy though

[@johnmutton799]

Why do you chop upwards? That 90° cut would be done with a saw. When cutting with the axe just chop downwards, nothing else. Citting up is never needed and is not controlled.

[@larsvegas1505]

i hate how the back isnt flat at all.. would have to straighten that out after purchase.... and maybe polish the wole head while im at it...

[@axeandturtle]

I got that axe last year. and I feel that really perfect. razor sharp, beautiful handle finishing, exellent grip. but sheath is too thin and soft.

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+신진호신진호 yes

[@caseyrutledge5168]

the blade was bent to the right of the eye 2:44 ish . most husqvarna, wetterlings, and hultafors are the same way

[@MW-lw5mn]

That was a bit of an optical illusion. Sure that eye-forged peaces have at least a few unsymmetrical spaces, but specially here its not as serious as it seems at the first picture. The rounded edges as well as the camera angle make it look as if it was bent to the right, also because you don't really get a look at the edge at that moment. On other pictures you see that the edge is pretty well centered.

[@jacobausmus5969]

You folks are in the pacific northwest?

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+jacob ausmus , yes

[@jacobausmus5969]

Awesome! I love it here its a great climate to live in good folks out here too

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

jacob ausmus amen

[@brendatapia5229]

Esa funda está gruesa como la de mis hachas helko werk

[@matthewrisley9070]

How is this axe for chopping wood?

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+Matthew Risley chopping great, splitting not so much

[@ozyrob1266]

A much more useful tool than the "toy" forest axe. The little forest axe isn't great for serious work. This one is. (Yes I have and use the forest axe and many others).

[@bibigreen6533]

🤦🏾‍♂️

[@joshfontanella]

I have no idea why but you remind me of Marshall from how I met your mother

[@resipsaloquitur13]

Yea, dads sheath wins; very fine indeed.

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

+Christopher Long , haha. Thanks

[@juliojordio601]

Less talking about your sheaths, and more of the axe being used, and talked about while being used, would be more useful than a sales pitch...

[@vcjhunt999]

that comment is totally unfair

[@juliojordio601]

Is it? How? Its a 9 min review, with 40 seconds of the axe being used, just to chop a tree down, a further five minutes talking about the axe, with the last 3 and a half minutes pitching the sheath. Is there anything incorrect in what I'm saying? To say this is a r3eview is unfair to use viewrs! lol

[@vcjhunt999]

Julio Jordio well he starts by talking about the lack of quality in the sheath which is a huge let down for gransfors bruks, he introduces his sheath at 6:30 so 3 and a half minutes is a tad off. What has he not covered in this video about the axe which you have seen covered elsewhere. Enlighten me

[@juliojordio601]

I don't find the GB sheaths lacking, Wetterlings yes, but not GB. What I meant, was that I would have liked to have seen the axe in action more, with him talking about what he thinks. You don't just use an axe to fell a tree, I want to see him snedding with it, making feathersticks with it, tent pegs, stakes, I would have liked to have seen him splitting a few rounds with it, do you see what I mean?

[@vcjhunt999]

Julio Jordio I agree wetterlings sheaths are poor as they don't have welts but for the price you pay for a gransfors axe you would expect better quality sheaths. You may disagree but thousands agree with me on that so having him show his alternative is a nice addition to the video.

[@eriklorentzen6510]

I’m confused by a 9 minute review if a wood processing tool…. Where no wood was processed… there was a lot of good information, but effectively what you’d get from the comments section of a forum. It was a pleasant video, but I simply don’t understand tool reviews that don’t actually show the tool in use…

[@branislavboba1699]

It's supposed to be a review of a large felling axe. So it should be about felling large trees!!!

[@Steve_G88]

bro...you gotta chop up some hardwood trees with an American felling axe

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

Thank you

[@Dutch_Prepper]

Thanks Ulrik Nilsson for making mine :o) (#415 Wildlife Hatchet) See 4:11

[@petrosspetrosgali]

Ulrich made my scandi. Thanks Ulrich!

[@Dutch_Prepper]

How about the both of us starting an Ulrik fanclub?! :o)

[@randalflagg9086]

He made my Scandinavian forest axe too, not impressed with his fit and finish!!

[@sebastianmonea75]

Mine is made of TT (Tobias Thelin) Is just beautiful....

[@rileydirckx2468]

You forgot to yell "Timber!"

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

Just did it. Too late? =D

[@rileydirckx2468]

That's a good comeback.

[@loganchappell6272]

He didn't even do any cutting and so much of this was a sheath ad.

[@nicklasbrundin]

This was a "first look" not an review...

[@jeffcoulter7181]

America might but the rest of the world doesn’t understand inches

[@fredrikernofsson4227]

All I see is a review on sheaths

[@Weirdyzz]

Why fell with an axe when you can use a saw.

[@wwjd8833]

Because an axe is way more fun.

[@llewen123]

I have never seen someone chop with a sheath on by accident ....ever.....it's never happened.....is this just a sales pitch?

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

I’ve seen it multiple times, when a friend picks up an axe

[@ingostoll2552]

it is a scandinavian axe,no a american axe ,man!

[@ReviewOutdoorGear]

wrong.

[@randalflagg9086]

It is made in Scandinavia yes so technically you're right but the pattern or model of axe is the American felling axe, hope that makes sense!

[@rusty32541]

Bruh, the tree in the very beginning fell against your notch. Anything you may say after is subject...
