How to Wrap An Axe Handle

[@kaladriasilverleaf]

Thanks Bjorn. I was actually thinking about how to do this the other day, but didn’t take the time to look it up. So I enjoyed having you show us. You always make things very easy and understandable. Plus, it was a nice way to finish the last few sips of my morning coffee. Cheers!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thanks! I am glad it was helpful!

[@Karlhrafnsson]

I have sewed a rawhide making a armor collar on many axes, both work excellent

[@RomanPepper]

Спасибо!

[@allisonemig8578]

Vibrant green setting. Reminds me of Ireland or Scotland. Beautiful!🌲

[@srcsixty7]

Thank you, Bjorn for the excellent tip. I will definitely try this with my axe.

[@jrnbuckachristensen6597]

Looks cool too. Thanks 👍

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JJ-nb4ci]

Thank you!!!❤

[@williamdowdy8846]

So a while back i wanted to wrap a Hatchet handle just to add bulk. Before I was done, I had wrapped the entire thing. Looks goofy but has the best grip and protects the handle from over strike...

[@jamesmcgee2447]

Thanks for the info Bjorn.

[@GivePeaceAChance1968]

Awesome, thank you Bjorn ✌️

That’s a great technique and quite handy 👍👍👍👍 Cheers Bjorn ☕️☕️☕️☕️

[@Wolf9of9Odin]

I love my Helko Werk axes, I bought a leather protector for one of them that ties very nicely. Very good informative video brother. Something about working with an axe that feels so good and sometimes i crave swinging one! My favorite tool for sure!

[@BobCarolgees-p8f]

Thats a posh looking 🪓 there very 👍🏻 nice

[@TheLeanBerets]

I was just going to search this topic so I can wrap a vintage Swedish axe I restored for my daughter. Thanks for posting! 🪓

[@mrsorepaws9146]

Lol - axidents Looks good, protects axe...and, you have a little bit of rope/spring as an emergency, should you need it!

[@w_ulf]

Thank you remember keep it wrapped

[@ostekuste3646]

Always wanted to axe someone how to do this, thanks.

[@Enginor]

Very informative

[@BjornOutdoors]

Glad you liked it!

[@BerndThefriendlyViking-kq7be]

Cool! Very useful because you can get the String of without damage. Works for knife handle and other Tools very well too. 👍

[@kimsold22]

Practical tips 💯 no axidents 🤣 you have creative hands. So shiny you could use it as a mirror 🔨 Hope your 2025 sparkles ✨

[@Mark-u2b3f]

This was so handy mate. All the best from Australia 🦘👍

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you! Glad to hear that!

[@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786]

Excellent. Ill reinforce my axe now i know how.

[@michaelball760]

Been wanting to do this with some 550 cord.

[@HelgiThorisson]

Axellant video. 😄

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I need to do this! Thank you!

[@ladamyunto]

I sugest you use your whife s shoelaces i tried walking around without shoelaces in my own shoes and almost broke my neck😂

[@BjornOutdoors]

Sensible advice, my friend!

[@Wolf9of9Odin]

😮😂😅

[@publius5278]

Thankyou. Ax-ci-dent. Classic. Much needed knowledge

[@wittelarry1]

Good idea 👍. Watching from Kingman, Arizona USA

[@paulputnam2305]

Nice work Bjorn. Thanks!

[@alteredcarbon3500]

Beautiful axe by the way !!Thank you for this Bjorn 👍

[@BjornOutdoors]

You're welcome!

[@prestonbanksoutdoors939]

always cool and usefull things on this channel!

[@N2freedom]

Good lesson.

[@ramhornjoe]

Thanks Bjorn, I just subscribed & have an axe in need of a wrap so this was the perfect video for me now so thanks. Living off grid for almost 3 years now with heavily wooded property in South East Missouri & love your videos

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you, and that is awesome, you living off grid!

[@waveydavie]

In the past I've used a 60mm length of 22mm diameter copper water pipe, cut along its length and spread out to fit my axe handle and then wrap it in paracord like you did.

[@KathyHopkins-m8k]

I need to learn how to sharpen mine… with a stone/rock around the yard. 👍

[@Northman1963]

It also helps to coat the wrapping with varnish or urethane to help preserve it and keep it in place.

[@GranpaRAD]

Tack så mycket!!!

[@paulhellwig8120]

Love this👍I have used some Kevlar tape doing the same thing but this looked cooler. Tesa tape is used as an abrasion resistant cover for vehicle wiring harnesses. Good stuff. Thank you, have a blessed new year !

[@robertwilliamson922]

Hi Bjorn…. Military 550 paracord would work beautifully for wrapping an axe handle.

[@jill-ti7oe]

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

[@BillHale-p9d]

Good tip thank you Bjorn mm Happy New year 😊

[@janchristensen5692]

[@rockannand]

This made me giggle because I had visions of you wrapping your ax for Christmas -- like I did for my husband 40 yrs ago. It looked like a wrapped ax in Christmas wrapping and while funny to see under the tree... gave him a strange feeling, too! He needed an ax... what was I to do? haha

[@twinarrowssurvival.2.065]

I made a tomahawk out of a broken axe handle and a roofing hammerhead I wrap mine with paracord and linseed oil the handle work perfect wish I had seen this video years ago LOL

[@JeffreyWillis800]

I like it, nice. Been years since I've needed to use an axe where I live, but interesting nonetheless.

[@Angela_Fleming]

😎💕

[@donaldanderson3249]

Ive done that with leather boot laces

[@susiflattermaus8400]

This way of wrapping I find really skillfully done! is that an old technique, or did you develop it by yourself? However, I'll keep that in mind (hopefully correct).

[@JonathanMacleod-s8k]

Very nice ax I wonder if it's a custom one ?

[@larrymackerethjr.3812]

Nice old rocks behind you. Any history there I wonder ? Thank you

[@BjornOutdoors]

It would have been right at the water's edge back in the old days. I am sure the formation was used for shelter.

[@plastruk]

I had a neighbor that would wrap it with a leather strap and as it dried and shrink it created a hard shield to protect. Never tried it myself.

[@cherokeesurvival8340]

great job bjorn happy new year 2025

[@tuurblaffe]

0:35 That is one shiny axe i say, if the sun would reflect of it it'll blind enemies :o 03:00 That is one fine knot i say i would think you are a nice person to take fishing, i bet u can handle you own fishing lines and knots better than some mates from me i go fishibg for 20 years and they still cannot manage to secure a hook.. nlce some advice to prevent Ace idents

[@HilltopLily-r4l]

its also a way to pack an xtra piece of cordage.

[@maureencallahan1604]

Oh very cool you do it the same way you wrap a fishing pole Ferrell

[@marcacee220]

will you please print your books in english. im sure they would be a hit

[@BjornOutdoors]

So am I, but I am not the one printing them. I need an English market publisher for that.

[@bulkhungry]

I'm guessing the axe/ accident word pun joke doesn't work in Norwegian ? Very funny .❤

[@theviking11]

I have a lot of axes but none are wrapped. I guess I had better start wrapping.

[@JeffreyWillis800]

No more "Ax-idents".

[@NatTate-f7e]

Any news of possible invasion lately?

[@jorgene5163]

Is it better to learn how to use an axe properly before going into the woods? just asking

[@jimofthejungle02]

Don't be a fool, wrap your tool!

[@Gungnir762]

I put a bit of electrical tape under the wrap…

[@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786]

Axidents 😂

[@composedlight6850]

Your Axecent confused me with your joke 😂

[@andrew-ij1or]

Good joke brother.😅

[@edwardwoods5977]

People who wrap axes are people who miss. Just get a plastic handle.

[@BjornOutdoors]

We always get one, don't we? Today it was you.

[@edwardwoods5977]

@BjornOutdoors some people are just people. We all have a voice. I've handled all kinds of hand tools all my life. I understand tools... handles metals... it can be an art... for those that miss get a plastic handle. In my younger days, I would wrap sticks with twine. It definitely strengthens it.

[@top6ear]

This is really useful, just bought an Axe 🪓

[@BjornOutdoors]

Wonderful.
