I doubt those were made by him. I've seen that mark multiple times, both in the Cascades and in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I'm guessing that, given the small number of marks which can be easily cut into a tree with an axe, there is probably a lot of overlap between woodsmen.

Yet you still take the time to test the common man bushcraft items, and genuinely give them a go, and are honest about your experiences, good or bad. Including with non-common man items, like the mentioned Spyderco axe. I just really appreciate you, man. I love the detail you go into the, sorry, unfucking of the tool, sometimes. Just simple things that make them worth 3x the price. All my axes are sharper, all my tools are Ballistol'd. Thanks.

[@DonaldsmechanicalknowitallYT]

Yuppp

[@OverlandOne]

I bought one a few years back and did a few modifications to it and it works just great. I sanded and polished the entire head before I sharpened it and sanded the handle and oiled it with several coats of mineral oil. I bought a sheath for it too. It is a great tool and much better than many others out there for a lot more money, just like you said.

[@VTPSTTU]

The other important point is that someone could buy several of these, make the modifications that you did, and leave them in a couple of places. For instance, if someone had a hunting camp, this ax could stay at the camp. If one forgot to bring an ax, this one is there but doesn't represent a huge financial loss if something happens to it. If one remembers to bring another ax from home but two people are at camp, then two people can work on chopping chores.

[@CleaveMountaineering]

That's why I have an axe or hatchet in each vehicle, and a basic tool kit, and a basic camping kit, etc. Any tuned axe is better than no axe. Shop estate sales, etc.

[@apocalypticwarrior9695]

I bought the full size HF hickory handle axe several months ago, I've been so impressed with it I recently purchased another one (I liked the grain in the handle better than the first one I picked) and also grabbed the only hickory hatchet they had left! I was so excited to get one, I know silly... But it's a great thing when a $12 tool can give you the fizz. I'll call that a win every day of the week! Looking forward to putting the hatchet through it's paces.

Being a professional homeowner myself, Harbor Freight items are amazing for when you just need something that is "good enough to do the job". I LOVE the oscillating tools they carry that go for $15. I'm a proud owner of 3 so when one tears up due to rough use I just pitch it and grab another. Still getting off cheaper than one of the "high end" brands and concern myself less with the care and handling of the tool. By the way I've given them the name of Oscar. Lol

Just based on his filing of it in the other video and what I can intuit from it and his comments in this video, it's a bit on the soft side. Seems well worth the price though and you can keep a sharpening palm stone or similar with you. I mean, that handle is just about worth the price even.

I snagged one at my local HF. They had 6 on the rack, and I picked the best (straightest) grained handle, and after stripping the varnish and giving 4 coats of BLO the handle was very nice. I took a file to the head and cleaned it up and reset the angle. I found a nice nylon cover for it and I have enjoyed using it. I have two Swedish hand axes and the frugal part of me enjoys using the $13 HF axe. 50K thumbs up. Well, this is 5 days into the video and it's already at 29K. I smell a summit video in the future. :-)
