Wow. I sounded out of breath during the entire video! Holy Cow! Hmmm... maybe I need to get another one of these hatchets and show the modification process and then repeat the overview, now that I'm better at doing videos and have some better equipment... What do YOU think?

I bought one a few months back for around $20.00. It paid for itself immediately. I dismantled a porch at my dad's house. When I got home, I dismantled two old couches I had lying out in my yard. With a two-pound head, it made short work out of the items listed. It is worth every penny spent.

Other than removing the spike (which I'd keep for hooking on and dragging logs and the such) I love the modifications! I'd never think of adding inch marks on the handle but it was a great idea

MAN I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE MODIFICATION OF THAT HATCHET .GREAT VIDEO KEEP THEM COMING THANKS.

[@eriksenactual]

Sad to see the spike go, it’s super useful for many things, besides that I LOVE THE MODS!!!!

[@dondr267]

Nice job, looks beautiful

[@donjuanthepiper7166]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

Yes please show how you modified & sharpened the axe! I am a budget prepped & beginner bushcrafter. Can't afford expensive gear!

[@The_Expert]

You can’t get rid of the spike! That makes it a fireman’s axe! That and some red paint. Which makes me wonder if Cerakote could be used?

[@larrywalker1435]

I bought one at the beginning of summer I left the spike on it to dig holes

[@sackett68]

Looks like a winner! Nice job.

[@Ajaxykins]

Careful using that axe, just the right length that a mistrike will go right into your shin! Its got good weight too so yeah a glancing blow with that kinda momentum is gonna be hard to stop and might just pass right through a shin bone lol. Looks great though!

[@alyfen69]

Nice come out😊

[@kentcc]

I have one and it’s superrrrrr good

[@AnthemBassMan]

The mods turned out pretty sweet. The after look is Hultafors/Wetterlings or other Swedish style. Now it looks like a cool, old school bushcraft hand axe. I stop in the Harbor Freight in Canton every so often, but I've never noticed this fireman's hatchet. I'll have to keep my eyes open the next time.

I would enjoy watching the modification of the firemans hatchet.

[@largemammaloutdoors4503]

Would definitely like to see how you did everything with this hatchet

[@bunsonhoneydew9099]

Yeah good informative video. I'll probably get one next and mod it out too. You did an excellent job removing the spike but I think I'll leave it on because it looks cool and different than the other axes.

[@huejanus5505]

Although the axe looks better modified, i would have sharpened the spike and left it on. It would come in handy for dragging logs around (like a picaroon?).

[@russellthompson6204]

New subscriber & just found your channel and enjoying. I really like what you did with that ax and would very much like to see the process.
