Cody, i'm from south america. I'm a life long scout (7yo till 18 only stopping between 13-14 because i moved and the town had no troops) and reached the top (1st class) I lived in small towns and hd backyards my whole life, my grandad was a cattle rancher here... now i'm in university in a million and a half city, working in a downtown office.... Man i miss small towns i miss the cracking fire on a stary night, being in the open country, the dirt under my fits, using axes, knives, splitting firewood, making stuff with my own two hands, going camping with my troop and having to rely on my gear, my brain and fellow scouts with theie gear if i needed an extra hand. I love medicine and i'll eventually become an MD and do what i love, but the country life, doing stuff with your own hands, sharpening your tools and then making something you need is truly amazing. I miss going to my grandpa's land and just camp, or get a horse and bring in cattle with him. You channel has helped me not lose my connection to the land, to at the very least have some continuity between my 16 yo self making a shelter in a cold day preparing for an even colder night in the hills and now while wearing button shirts

[@neobaggins3718]

Growing up my entire childhood, my Granddad had a rusty old axe he used to crush the ice for home made ice-cream at their lake house each summer. When I got a house last year, he gave me their old ice cream maker, the axe and the old army duffel that he used to pad everything to avoid smashing the axe into the ground. I put it in my barn, and didn't really think about it. One day I was cleaning up the barn and registered it was a cool old axe (something I enjoy collecting, although I go for cheaper stuff I don't have to feel bad about cleaning and polishing up) Picked up the axe and first thing I see at the back of the head is Norlund. I'd been wanting to get a Norlund for quite a while, but everything I'd seen was going for more than my axe budget. Not sure if the handle is original, it definitely has character. I'll save it, but if I end up knocking the surface rust off (I want to be as gentle as possible) I'll probably look at rehandling it as well. These Gransfors look amazing. Might save up for one eventually, but I'm partial to stuff with a history, especially if it has a personal connection. It's funny how I never thought to look at the axe that I've been around since I was born...

[@joenadeau4419]

Good story bro, I always wanted a Collins Legitimus but had one in my barn for years ,I just didn't know it. Long story short I was soaking some old files in vinegar and had some room in the bucket so I tossed in a very old and crusty ax head, turns out it was a very nice Collins Legitimus............funny how these weird little things work.

LOVE your Gransfor's review! I own 6 Gransfors and LOVE them all! Saying I have a favorite is like telling your 6 kids that one of them is your favorite, don't want any Axe envy amoungst my baby's! Ha! One you have not mentioned "I don't think" in your video's is the Mini Belt Hatchet! I carry it on my hip in place of a knife while camping and hiking. Yes, I do have a pocket knife, but the belt hatchet is so SHARP and handy, it far exceeds my need for a knife on my hip. You can do just about anything a knife can do except stab. The edge is equally as sharp as any knife, I can shave the hair off of my arm with it. I also have one for my daughter and have used it to teach her the way's of the woods in camping and she has done quite well with it! Gransfors just OOZE quality and performance and are well worth the money! I purchased the long handle double bit axe 15 years ago for $150.00 range and the new ones are going for around the $400 dollar mark today! My buddies mocked and laughed at me paying that much for an axe, but quality is timeless and one day my axes will be hanging on my daughters wall and even my grand children's one day!

I've had this axe for 2 years, got it as a christmas present in 2017. It's a great little axe, I've covered the metal part with a paracord lashing. It's just appropriately sized to carry on the side of your pack, yet the longer handle gives good force for splitting firewood. The head geometry is also well balanced for many jobs, truly a great all purpose axe. Lars Fält, the designer, is the survival guide of the Swedish armed forces so I guess he knows what he's doing. Only complaint I have, is that the handle is too small for me, it could be a bit more oval in cross section.

[@storm3016]

I've had my Outdoor Axe for a couple of years now and feel the same way. When (carrying) weight is an issue you can't go wrong with this little guy. If you want an axe-shaped knife they also make the tiny little Mini Hatchet which was my first Gransfors. It's chopping ability really is sub-par for a bushcrafter/woodsman, but it is just so cute and I happen to be super-accurate with it. I use mine mostly for wood-sculpturing these days, although I have carried it as a pocket knife for a few weeks just to see how well it would perform in that role. Good times!

[@billsutherland2128]

There are additional positive traits to a longer handle in that it acts as a rudder and as a dampening agent due to its extra mass. This product looks like a winner, and I’m buying one soon for my wood carving venture. Thanks again, Cody!

"The Gränsfors Outdoor Axe was developed with the help of survival expert Lars Fält, and is ideal for those who want to use an axe in different ways when out and about in the countryside. Although it is light, it can be used to fell a tree, thanks to its relatively long handle and heavy, elongated head. The axe is also excellent for limbing a tree. The handle has a protective steel collar near the head so that the axe can be used for light wood splitting tasks. It can also be used as a large knife. Lars Fält, who worked with Gränsfors Bruk to design the Gränsfors Outdoor Axe, established the Swedish Armed Forces Survival School and has trained the Swedish Army Ranger Battalion for 35 years at the Ranger School and Parachute Ranger School. He has also written 10 books on survival and outdoor pursuits."

I'm a big guy (6'3" 235lbs), and I find the Scandinavian Forest axe is the perfect size for me.

I have had this axe for a year or so. Mr. W is not exaggerating how nice it is. It can slip behind your pant's belt to carry without a pack. The shape of the beard will keep it in place behind the belt. It cuts, and splits, wood very well. The head shape is more of a wedge than most other small axes, but still has a very sharp edge. It is expensive, but it is a lifetime tool.

[@stevecappella7358]

I own that axe. I love it 95%. The only thing I wish was that the palm swell at the base of the handle was just a tad bit larger. After some time of swinging the axe my hand starts to fatigue as I need to grip it tighter. I'm thinking of putting either a leather wrap of some sort or some pine tar to help with the grip. I have a sheath, actually a holder, I purchased for this that I love from R.O.G. that I place on my belt, and the handle fits through it nicely, however if I put a leather wrap on the handle that would stop me from using my belt holder. So the pine tar might be the way to go. If I don't keep it hanging from my hip, it fits nicely in my back pack. Other than that, it was extremely sharp from the get go and I keep it as such. I use it for kindling and have cleared branches from trees as I blaze hiking trails on my property in New Hampshire. All in all, I would recommend this axe.

love this vid! It reminds me of Ray Mears in perspective and axe appreciation!

[@dougpetty67]

I never thought that I would get to own this axe. Two weeks ago, I found three of them while on vacation. I bought one immediately. I love it. If you would like to know where the other two are located, let me know.

don't want to be disrespectful in correcting you, but the little book is actually written in german. greetings from austria

I already have a gransfors wildlife hatchet, which I believe fills almost exactly the same role as the outdoor axe without the weaknesses of the Hudson Bay-ish pattern head, I really prefer cheeks on an axe head. I think I’m going to rehandle my Council velvicut saddle axe with a 19” handle for my next project.

The company makes very good products. I restore tools - hatchets/axes/knives/machetes/swords in retirement. Two observations. The hole in the unit is there for a reason. If you have a peg or nail upon which to hang the unit at home, fine. I put on 550 cord if a unit would be used out doors. Second: you are wearing gloves. I live where it really doesn't get cold. Rather than wear gloves (to protect from hot spots), I wrap a unit (today it was a pick axe) with a layer of electrician tape and then over the electrician tape, a layer of tennis racket tape. No splinters/hot spots/ being concerned about the handle drying out and having to be maintained.

Awesome backpacking (hatchet) axe. I love it. Mr Kephart was a genius of the wild there’s nothing he has written that is not fact he lived and breathed the beautiful wilds of the USA.

The book is in german, not swedish. 😂 "Das Buch der Äxte" means "The book of axes"

[@stevecappella7358]

I have that axe. I love it except for one thing. I wish the palm swell was just a tad bigger. After a while of clearing branches on a trail or splitting kindling, my hand starts to fatigue. Yet in the same sense, if it were much larger the handle would not fit into my belt holder. I'm going to try pine tar or an equivalent to see if it will help with the grip. Other than that, it's light, very sharp to make effortless cuts, and is easy to do fine work with. It is not meant to split large logs. It's purpose built for smaller jobs and if in a pinch for emergency work can get you buy felling trees if there is no other way. I recommend it, but know a larger axe to pair with this makes a great combination to handle anything that comes your way.

The Outdoor Axe excels if you need a tool that is this light and can split decent size firewood. The relatively long straight handle allows you to fasten it in a log and sving it, back first into a stump.

I actually bought one as soon as I seen this video, just received mine, and it's the best hatchet/axe I've ever owned, (I owned bunch of cheap home Depot hatchet's and the amazon 30$ axe) But this one fits into my backpack, haven't used it yet, but I so far LOVE it.!!!
