[@kommdegaya753]

fr, i love it

He's got the chops!

[@a.w.1906]

Auch wenn Du kein ausgebildeter Maschinenbauing. bist, hast Du aber ohne Zweifel ein unglaublich gutes Gespür für Kräfteverteilungen, Einleitung von Kräften, Drücken etc.. Kurzum ein phantastisches Verständnis für physikalische Vorgänge aller Art und ein grandioses visuelles Vorstellungsvermögen, dieses in Deinen Kreationen umzusetzen. Einiges davon kann man sich sicher aneignen, aber vieles liegt Dir m.M. nach einfach in den Genen. Du wärst mit 100% iger Sicherheit ein unglaublich kreativer Ingenieur und z.B. im Mittelalter ein grandioser Baumeister oder noch grandioserer Waffenschmied gewesen. Einfach eine natürliche Gabe, mit der Du uns immer wieder verblüffst und uns viel viel Freude bereitest. Vor allem, weil Du selbst mit soviel Herzblut und Freude dabei bist. Danke dafür!!!

[@johannesmichaelalhaugthoma4215]

The great Joerg Sprave is not an engineer. He is the kind of person that engineers read about in books in college listing the greatest engineering minds of all time! Bravo!!

[@samandrews7856]

As an engineering student I 100% agree.

[@ingorichter649]

I was successfully educated as an engineer, but after more than 20 years in a suitable job I get more and more approved to fill the graduation with experienced life. Some persons are experienced much faster in unconventional, but highly more focussed kind of practical work triggered by their passion, which formed such natural gifted talents with much more effectiveness in their doing as plenty of other educated engineers at all. Jörg Sprave convinces us here with another design rooted to his passion, that he belongs to a kind of extraordinary creative engineer teached by highly valuable on going life-experience. Their are masses of educated engineers, but only some people, often without any graduation, are as innovative enough to remember for a long time. The most inventors did not remembered by their education, but by their creativity. This also works here.

[@Mrleejunman]

People are use to all the 2mm thin metal folding axes on the market and just assume yours is the same . If they looked closely they would see how solid yours is

[@kinaantaha139]

As an accredited engineer by education, you’re absolutely an engineer by definition

[@258erFB]

Sehr stark, sehr beeindruckend. Ich denke die Leute sollten langsam nicht mehr Jörg‘s Kompetenz anzweifeln.

[@vincedibona4687]

The little moue and then smile when the piece of wood he was using as a baton broke made me laugh harder than I should have. 😂

[@mattparkent440]

It's cool, and it's not a survival axe. It's pretty much a toy. That's why I bought the ulfbert knife. I've got a ton of practical knives and utility knives, but the ulfbert is just cool to play with. It's my second favorite knife right after my dad's antique Bowie.

[@noahgarriques3035]

As a future engineer, it's not the matter of if this will be durable enough, it's the matter of price.

They made the classic blunder: they underestimated the Madman Joerg Engineering! I want that axe!

[@ericbeall7675]

It never ceases to amaze me how amazing the mind of Joerg is to come up with all of these incredible designs.

[@deepseadiver971]

I love your enthusiasm and creativity!

[@erniemiller1953]

But, can you throw it? And, can you shoot it from a slingshot? Can you make it INTO a slingshot?

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

I'm sure you will perfect this great new design. Just one thought though, the handle is designed to fold forwards towards the blade, not a problem with knives but with a bearded axe you have a lot more weight leveraging on that joint. Not an issue if you always have the blade make contact with something but what about when you don't? If you repeatedly miss or are training for something, the extra weight of the axe head when you stop the 'swing' suddenly with your own muscles reverses the inertia and could cause that handle/grip joint to fail. Just my two cents as a product designer and a motorcycle mechanic.

[@oldbag3043]

You have done really well joe to take it from your mind to prototype to finished product i am very proud of you, and I am a welder fabricator mechanical engineer even if I am just a basic engineer, well done 👍

[@s.b.7636]

So geil manche Kommentare 😊 "meine spaltaxt (5kg) ist da viel besser" etc etc... Das ist eine super Axt für so ziemlich alle Outdoor Aktivitäten. Wer mal mit einem eigentlich dafür vorgesehenen sogenannten survival Spaten versucht hat einen Baum zu fällen weiß was ich meine 😅. Bitte mehr mehr mehr Inhalte, Vorstellungen und super Produkte ‼️

[@LordThree]

It’s certainly a very interesting concept. I’m not sure about real world usefulness, but definitely a good conversation piece. 👍🏻

[@vincedibona4687]

He kinda proved the “real world usefulness” in this video… 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LordThree]

@@vincedibona4687 I guess you kinda proved that you missed my point. A hatchet this size isn’t really any more inconvenient to carry in standard form than this is when folded. Is the point to put it in a cargo pocket? How is that any more wieldy than a belt loop hanger? It looks cool, yes. Does it serve a practical purpose? I don’t see one. 🙄

[@Scarlet_Soul]

​@@LordThreeBiggest probably is no need for a sheath and nothing for it to catch on in a bag

[@TheWeeJet]

@@LordThree point is it will be a nice compact thing to have when you dont need a normal fixed handle one. basically the same reason folding knifes exist. you entire reason for saying it has no purpose over a standard fixed handle hatchet can be used on folding knifes. a fixed blade is no harder to carry on a belt than a folding knife in your pocket.

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Genius Joerg is at it again & my only critique is sharpen and strop that axe blade as it looked some what dull when you were chopping things up apart from that it is Awesome.

[@TT-by2vz]

Trust me im an Engineer!

[@SolarCookingGermany]

...I think we put this thing right here 😄

[@BenjaminGerfelder]

The safety pins could be spring loaded I guess, mounted on a leaf spring with some kind of lifting tab that should be convenient enough, as well as more compact compared to metric screw and nut. And even if springs fail over time with heavy use, one could easily replace them with metric screws. For the folding axe concept, have you ever considered a franciska? While it is more of a weapon than a tool, the shape of the axe head might work quite nicely for a compact folder.

[@dewaldwestermann8541]

Joerg for president... Man I love all the crazy clever things you come up with and I will own some of your designs

[@homelessmike2068]

O>O that sturdiness AND its foldable???? shut up and take my money, if you provide a link to purchase this axe i would love to buy it for my workshop in case i need a have a blunt object that might need to cut something with too!

[@DonnyLA]

Fantastic Joerg 👍 awesome design work 👍

[@AdamCeladin]

Fantastic Design !!! Throw it Jorg !!! :P

[@nirodha7028]

Such a great improvement! Strange the engineers didn’t make it that way to begin with ^^. Jörg you are more of an engineer than most of the people I have seen graduate in my time. Believe me :-)

[@sollognelle2929]

Beautifull work. As allways.

[@stonebay2111]

Definitely need one for big game hunting and camping in Montana

[@neinsagined3047]

Die Faltaxt ist genial und steht auf alle Fälle auf meiner "Habenwillliste"

[@MxMe-su1ch]

I might understand the complaints about stability if it was just the two back locks. But the moment you add the safety pins, it is a completely different story. I do want to know what kind of steel the head is/will be though.

[@toolthoughts]

I'm sure it will hold up to light tasks similar to the ones you demonstrated. But I don't see the benefit here aside from the novelty. It would make no sense to carry something like this. Of course novelty is probably the biggest selling point in any collector cutlery, so I guess that's enough, and it looks nicely made.

[@joelamaro4525]

How is chopping a log and a metal pipe in half a“light task”? If those are light tasks what is a heavy task? And what other task is an ax supposed to accomplish other than chopping wood?

[@joelamaro4525]

Furthermore, survivalists use simple fixed blade KNIVES for batoning wood. You don’t think this would work every bit as well as a fixed blade knife? That’s hysterical. lol

[@claytucker5025]

*Shocked Silence* My God.................. How?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh, you explained how, but wow that is Amazing! I never would have thought such a thing would ever be tough enough to work, and not only that but even IF it fails, it won't even harm the user........... Bravo!

[@kommdegaya753]

Wiedermal sehr gute Erfindung Jörg! Ich würd beim Hirschfänger aber die 2 unterschiedlichen Verkaufstermine ganz gut finden, so hat man 2x die Chance ihn zu bekommen. Der wird ja sowieso weggehn wie warme Semmeln! Besonders im Dezember!

[@memyselfandeye1234]

Fair Play Joerg Quality idea as always... people should think about what you have done and created in the past and the Standard you build to not just your sling shots but your prototyps ect ... peace

[@ironmask5308]

What "they" don't say is they have never created anything and are jealous of those who do. Well designed and made, sir!

[@LampwarezIT]

Very nice. If it has a low weight then is better to keep it sharp.

[@swordslinger5488]

We need to get the Dwarven Dad one of these

[@locksmith1214]

Jorge you are the man don't listen to the haters man your doing great work man

[@sarchlalaith8836]

Handle could use some spring loaded flaps to spring out after the blade does to make the handle thicker like you want in the hand, but actually it's just hollow... But the grip would feel broader in the hand

[@Durrgon]

Honestly a really cool design, feels like it would be very nice for saving space for camping and stuff. Curious if there's any way to either store, or otherwise attach the reinforcing pins maybe with some paracord or a little locking compartment in the bottom of the handle etc. Feels like it would be the only inconvenient thing, if they were to be lost or forgotten.

[@onesky8647]

[@GethusSathanus]

My name is Björn, and I approve!

[@lady_draguliana784]

it'd like to see a retention point for the screw, maybe you could have it screw into the pommel area or onto the head of the axe itself when not in use?

[@casinferneycf45]

I would buy one of those. Cool gadget if nothing else.

[@BogenkinoEhlershausen]

Genial Master Jörg! 👍💪

[@devas522]

They're jealous cause you came with that idea and made it real, and they don't, by the way ,love the design hope to see it in the market 👍

Don't forget leg day, joerg

[@nivekab]

Love it, and I want one!

[@darkokopjar]

Bravo Joerge !!!!

[@lesterj4394]

Another genius folding tool. Where do you store the locking pin?

[@gsestream]

What is the magnetic sling. Three magnets in a pipe. Middle one with a slot moving with the projectile. Self-stopping. Only projectile flies out.

[@gsestream]

maybe a bike tire pump can be a sling on its own. as compressed air piston. or similar.

[@dizzy4207]

best asmr !

[@vincedibona4687]

🙄

[@hilbertfaust1954]

wait, he's educated in business? damn, would never have thought

[@TimoNoko]

The axe head reminds me of Eskimo "Ulu"-knife. Jörg should re-design the handle extension so that it stays folded in "Ulu"-mode.

[@BenjaminGerfelder]

If the lower handle could fold completely backwards and lock into position there, it might get pretty close already. Would probably be difficult to make the blade hold an edge for proper use as a knife and not chip or roll when used as an axe though.

[@MaxMartins-h8q]

I think the only issue is when you pull the hatchet back ready to strike then it may fold in on itself like a bull wip effect?

[@Vuurwapengevaarlijk]

The deercatcher is the coolest knife i have ever seen and i would buy it only if had the funds. Also very illigal in Holland but thats not the biggest deal😂

[@ElHombreGato]

DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS JORGE!!!!! You're A Genius!!!!

[@ThePries]

Maybe now they believe if a german said its stirdy ,then its stirdy

[@SmokieDaKlown]

Amazing!

[@christophers_verified]

Love it!

[@HeadCannonPrime]

It holds up, but it doesn't cut very well. A proper sharpened machete would have cut that first tiny log in about 4 to 6 swings. When he was using the hammer method it barely worked. And the 90 degree shaft on the outside of the blade prevents the wood from splitting easily. Not really sure what this would be used for other than a display piece. As a proof of concept though it really is a fantastic looking item.

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

I like the design! One thing that makes me a little wary though is the reliance on those screw pins. While I understand their use and importance for the hatchet to work as intended, I worry that as a separate pieces, it might be liable to get lost at some point if someone were to take it into the woods for field use.

[@Slingshotchannel]

You can replace them with M6 screws.

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

@@Slingshotchannel Yep, but that's for when you get home though, but when you are out there for the time being, it could be a little problematic! I guess you can just lodge the blade into the existing crack and whack it with the log to split it until you return.

[@moritzmuller6888]

Es sollte einen Übergang von der Klinge zum Griff geben. Dann kann der Griff nicht am Material hängen bleiben wenn man etwas spalten möchte und die Klinge kann tiefer eindringen. Das ist bei 0:58 gut zu sehen

Die Kantige Form und die Schraube verhindern, dass die Axt in ein Werkstück eindringen kann.
