My Marbles Camp Axe just came in the mail - $27.85 + shipping. Very pleased with the handle - I'm a longtime woodworker. The head taper needs some work but not as bad as I feared. Dimensions as advertised. Got myself a nice hatchet to make my own with a little filing, for less than $35 bux! To think I started with Swedish for Close to $200, did some research and found similar steel, forged (not by hand) with a quality Hickory handle and saved myself $165!

[@tamadrummer001]

I know that being exhausted from one log isn’t just you. We went out this past weekend and sawing, splitting and shaving kindling for a full weekends fires completely wore me out. My wife and I aren’t in bad shape but that makes me completely rethink my ability to survive any nominal length of time in the wilds.

[@royphelps8084]

I bought 2 carpenters hachets, as soon as I get mask found or made for them , ill sharpen them up to carry in my hunting bags on my 4 wheelers, and get 2 folding saws with finer teeth . I keep unsented trash bags on them in the duffel ( game hunting)bags

[@gregzeigler3850]

I just bought a FISKARS copycat today(8/22/2022), made in India, called GroundWork 17.5" Chopping Axe at TSC on sale for $16.99. It is an almost complete duplicate of my larger FISKARS felling axe, except shorter, of course, with the same style carrying handle. Fairly sharp, "out of the box". I haven't got to try this out yet(raining outside), but this might be the best budget axe of all times! It took a razor sharp edge easily, too(shaved some arm hair off with it).

[@royphelps8084]

I wish I could remember the size and brand , I used when ,I was a child , had to be careful about tieing to the saddle , I left it , my gun boot ,bedroll, all in my aunts barn , when I went to ft Benning. Best hunting axe for chopping up in a tree . Probably a 20 inch handle , close to 3 lbs , chopped lots of wild game out of trees with it . After that I used a double bit axe .

[@cerescop]

The smokey mountain knife works seemd to have the best price. The head is made of 1045 carbon steel with a coating to help with corosion. The handle is U.S. hickory with a lanyard hole. Seems to be useful for camp firewood prep. Or taking a page from the beaver, you can worry a tree down. Good job Brian in a hot environment. I hate the humidity in Georgia glad I don't have to go to altlanta any more. I spent way too much time there. Retired now sitting in air conditoning watching videos. LOL

[@MutsPub]

Man, kudos for the effort on this one! Great demonstration on why to bring a saw :-). I'm glad you didn't split pepe le pew, while balance testing. Nice looking ax. Nice demo on adjusting as needed to get fire! Estwing makes a great camp ax

[@brianmccann666]

Axes, Hatchets, Tomahawks are intended for Green Wood and not dry dead wood. Splitting Mauls are fir dry wood. Wood Saws are best for Dry Wood Cross Cutting like you tried doing. Do another Video on this Axe. Sharpen it up on camera. X2 speed or more. Then show us what it does with a good edge. Feather sticks. Carving meat for bbq. Then splitting wood. Then crosscutting...

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

i have it and love it !!! the handle is a lil thin for my fat lil hands lol. rubber grip gloves and or sticky tape male it perfect !!! thanks once again for all you do !!

[@jonnyboat2]

I hate when it gets so hot and humid outside that it makes it almost impossible to do anything. I appreciate your videos and your efforts to make them.

[@davidglazener7921]

I got mine from Smoky Mountain Knife Works for $19.99, like Enoob did. $6.99 shipping. Great camp ax for the money. I bought a leather sheath for mine. Nice! Good vid.

[@unknownartist47]

This axe came ready to sharpen and after putting a user edge it performed .👍

[@pboone1231]

$19.99 at Smokey Mountain Knife Works. I have one and like it.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Dang, Bryan! Chopping that log and it bouncing around gave me the chills. I could envision that "chopper" bounce towards your knee. I will vouch for the Marbles Camp Axe as I own one. I did buy a Hyde and Drink leather sheath and a leather protector for the neck. When I received it the axe edge was dull to say the least. After hours of filing and honing with a puck that baby was sharp! I chop logs and process them for my backyard BBQ's (do not like to cook food with charcoal...taste of the chemicals). Once a month I'll process a pile of wood and store them under my Hobo Camp tarp next to the tree securing the tree strap for the head of my hammock. I sharpen all of my knives and axes back there. It's my version of a test site for gear. Cannot wait for the cool weather to come and I'm able to sleep out there on occasion, especially when it's raining or snowing. I was going to buy a German made axe but ended up with the Marble after watching a Wranglerstar video. Another great axe is the Cold Steel Trail Boss. For those who want to carry a small chopping tool I found a Taiwanese hatchet called the "huiwill" and it comes with a well made riveted black canvas-like sheath that snaps to secure the tool. There's also a loop for belt carry. Rather than use my good knife I process (baton) wood with the hatchet. You cannot damage the darn thing. It's a full tang metal and looks to be precision formed for maximum effect; the edge is ulu shaped and 4 1/4 inches of nearly razor edge sharpness and the scales are a hard polymer. I carry it in my Emerson chest pack along with other survival tools and my CCW. I haven't done the "Bryan Stevens" balance test...yet...but however it lands or strikes it's guaranteed to do some damage.

[@RhythmMethodBand]

Which sheath did you buy? Thanks

[@WoodsmanHobo777]

Smokey Mountain Knife Works has those for $20. They are great I own a few , 16", 18" and 20"

[@billybob8950]

Never take a hatchet to a saw fight. [Ha Ha] love the content brother .God Bless

[@Mk-uh4jo]

Great video, I bought one after watching the video! As if I actually need another hatchet/axe?

[@paulhouse7946]

It's a " haxe" lol. super nice tool Bryan. Looks like an addition to the camp pack!

[@trynsurviven2440]

Welcome to the Survival on Purpose camp cardio video. Nice looking camp axe.

[@MrTastyZombie]

The Chuck Noris fact of the day hit home... I remember the falcon taking 5 days to build in the late 90s.....

[@crowstooth3419]

Exactly what I'm in the market for right now. I've got a nice little fiskars medium sized one, but have been looking for a quality hatchet with a WOODEN haft. Thanks SM.

[@PatchsOhulahan]

I don’t buy anything but Marble axes for camping can’t go wrong

[@JohnSmith-gs4lw]

Axe snobs call that handle a haft. I think. SMKW occasionally puts those on sale. Also know that Marbles sells several small axes like that and they all have the same head. I think they have about seven different axes, but only two different heads. I’ve been happy with the steel. It will take an edge. And keep it.

[@butchhill5656]

You know I bought one of these a long time ago I think I gave $25 for it. It was just going to use it to split kindling. But it turned out to be a good ax are large Hatchet whatever you want to call it but it works

[@2ndchancegeorge]

Lol...we are not 16 any more. That was way to much hard work. Great video as usual. Thank you

[@redsorgum]

It’s an axchet 😬😬😬😬 Id like to see a Fiskars X7 test on that same log.

[@brianmccann666]

Fiskars x7 eats that wood. I'm still amazed how good Fiskars actually are.

[@briced.hornback1062]

It's my FAVORITE "camp axe"...

[@shanedarden5238]

I think that wood is a Crape Myrtle. Its like a rock lol

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Descent Lil Axe for the price, Just needs a stone put to it ! I bought the Lil Double Bit & She's Now Ready For Wood !

[@rudyo8409]

I'd say it's a great tool for cleaning off log's. For building a shelter. But I would have broke out the Silky for getting through that log. : )

[@kentucker5471]

On blade HQ there is a sub 30 dollar hatchet by Prandi and it is made in Italy. It’s pretty cool.

[@KaizenServicios]

Brian you should take a look at the Marbles Modern Ideal All Purpose Knife MR391, got it on discount at around 13 bucks and it's awesome. Saber grind, 6 incher and rubber grip no choil. Kinda like an old SRK

[@terrychorn1503]

[@budgetbuyoutmisc.4916]

But Bryan how well does it burn

[@budgetbuyoutmisc.4916]

I could use some of that wood for a few projects looks good for tool handles clubs traps fishing etc

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Well, it is basically everywhere. It has become an "invasive species" in many areas. Chinese privet

I've never seen a privet tree us Brits have privet hedges, man I would have luv to have seen that freakin hedge

This over the Council Tool Hudson Bay?... Considering the Hudson Bay is 2x the price these days.

2 to 4 inches max. Sweet.

[@happycamper9300]

I think the log size is ok for the hatchet, but there are 2 things, the axe is not sharp enough and the wood is really hard

[@jimmelnyk7506]

That ax head style is the Hudson Bay pattern. You may have killed the BOARD.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is certainly injured

Breathing while working is a thing that people actually have to learn. Holding you breath doesn't make the tool work better. It just tires you out. Relax and breathe.

[@reddawng43x91]

A regular ole cane knife would do just as good

You ever chop on any dry privet? It's literally some of the hardest, densest wood I have ever messed with.

[@randybradley9953]

You picked some hard wood

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yep

[@jkpirate5604]

condor

[@nunninkav]

Well brothers, you can't be all sensitive and emotional about the edge or the handle for that matter on your axe. If you mess your axe edge up, grind it and resharpen. This is why you don't want it razor sharp, you'll roll or chip the edge. I use the edge on my camp axe to strike a farrow rod, my knives are too prescious to scuff them up with such things, if your knife is like your wife, then your axe is like the dirty harlot from the corner.

[@strangebird64]

Bro. You are so going to hurt yourself sitting there swinging that thing. Stand and stabilize for your own good. I'm surprised to see you, out of all people, handle this tool in this fashion. You'd get more power as well.

Enjoy your channel but you should either bone up on axe craft or stay away from axe reviews . Otherwise great work usually .

[@thomaswillows306]

Who, the helh, is chopping bouncing log??!! It is freaking inefficient and energy consuming! Why are you working on dull edge? Wat the hak is it? Siht show or hatchet presentation?

[@kevinAuman1]

I think for right around the same price the Husqvarna hatchet is a much much better camp axe with sweedish steel made by same people who do the gransfors bruks axes 🪓

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Do you have one?

[@kevinAuman1]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose yes'rrr I sure do, I actually have them both and the marbles steel is just soft as lead it does not hold an edge very well...
