Cody, none of Europe has hickory trees. There are 5,000 year old hickory fossils, but they were wiped out during a climactic change and never came back. Eastern Asia has 3-5 varieties, but they've never made it over the mountains into Europe. America has just about 20 varieties of hickory. Early European settlers took a while to recognize the benefits of hickory.

Hey Cody, long time no contributions from my side, so here's one, in case you're thinking on exporting your planned signature axes: Varnish on the handles?? Many many countries, including USA and Canada, are quite strict in terms of the import of untreated wood. Applying just oil, does not guarantee that the wood will not carry some kind of tree disease or pest, so exports manufacturers choose to apply varnish, as a way of simplifying their customs processes. In my country, Chile, many of these products come with no handles at all, for the very same reason! Otherwise they have to apply varnish or be willing to watch their shipments sit in customs quarantine for some extent of time. Best regards to you and your beautiful family, from the other end of America.

TheJohn8765 Yeah, that pudding :) , looking forward to seeing the testing ... well Sweden has a high quality local source, not to sure about Italy or where this company gets their iron/steel from ... like I said, it's 'historically known', that for me is like 1960s or so when cars started to become more mainstream. Obviously these things have improved, especially now with global availability of resources ... so we will have to find out I guess, or rather, Cody will and we will learn by ear and eye ;)
@dutchcourage73128 жыл бұрын
Rich206L Yes yes you are entirely right, hence the extensive use of 'historically', and my often explanation that now a days these things are different (and the note on the climatic differences between Italie and Northern Europe). Still though, not every steel is made the same for some reason, though some of it also has got to do (I think) with the heat treat given to a product. But, I have seen a documentary on Japenese sword making, and they select (hand pick) steel they forged from one batch into 3 main categories. Failed junk (discarded), Soft steel (used for the outside), and hard steel (used for the inside). Then they laminate the soft steel around the hard steel during forging creating these super swords. Obviously you have also seen the older tools on this here channel (chisels mostly) that have these darker harder steels used a cutting edges, while the softer steel makes up the rest of the tool... But this has nothing to do with Italie or anything :) just steel in general... so yeah, again, you are absolutely right, and we won't know the quality of these things until they get a proper testing ;)

+Wranglerstar what axe are we talking about being affordable?
Proof of the puding is in the eating: - How easy are they to put an edge on? - What's the quality of the steel/how long do they keep their edge? - How sticky or none-sticky are they when using them? - Do the heads come loose during prolonged and heavy duty use or are they superbly fitted? - How do those beautifully detailed handles work/feel during use? - How does the weight/balance perform (exhaustion wise) during prolonged use? - Etc., etc.? Some ideas?: If I were Prandy, I would sell them with a special Wranglerstar sanding kit including linseed oil plus instruction booklet on how to sand and repetedly oil those varnished handles. And a small botle of Wranglerstar Balistol, a Wranglerstar logo'd cloth and Wranglerstar logo'd tin can to store it in. So they can Balistol treat their axe heads after every use. Also let them explain in their booklet why they pre-sale varnish their handles so that even axe novices understand and appreciate that. It's that extra service and love for their product that would distinguish them even more from the other brands. I think people would love it to cherrish their favorite tools in such a way.

@twelty228 жыл бұрын
It's how the grain of the wood is aligned to the head of the axe. You want the grain to run parallel to the striking or cutting edge of a tool. The grain can be seen at the bottom of a handle.
@darrellwilliams15818 жыл бұрын
the grain orientation is the direction of the wood grain. It tends to be different depending on the tool. With axes good grain orientation would be in line with the blade not horizontal.
@Valk698 жыл бұрын
+mfk12340 Its which way the grain of the wood is heading looking at the butt of the axe. Think about a big block of wood you were gonna cut a handle out of. Depending on which was you lay the wood down to cut the profile you could either make it as stiff and strong as possible or as springy and weak as you would want. Looking at the butt of the tool, with the blade facing up, you want the grain running up and down. Not left to right. Hope that helps.

I remember, 30 - 40 years back that when you bought a new axe or hammer with a wooden handle, you were encouraged to sand the varnish off. The reason given was to cut down on blisters. I didn't know until today why companies varnished their handles. I wouldn't buy a dirty axe myself unless it was a beautiful 2nd hand air loom that you can see someone loved and took care of all their life. You never know, maybe several generations took care of this great find.

the big boy is my mind the best splitter in the bunch, if the wood selected is large rounds like the the fir you did the test on. more weight and good geometry gives it the edge. The trade off, as you aptly defined, is it takes more energy to put the process in motion. I have a good cache of axes to suit my needs, but the one missing from the tool shed is a proper splitting maul. I'm considering the Gransfors and I'm sure it will perform like a champ, but the big daddy " Bruticus " as you call her, has piqued my interest! Love the smell of fresh cut wood in the morning!

The splitting axe with the unique head is very interesting, but that wedge is truly the coolest thing I've seen. It's just awesome. Love to here about the grade of steele they are made of. Wow, what a great box of goodies

the dynamics of the Prandi axe is what has to be experienced. The lines of the Prandi has everything to do with movement. There's a subtle "squinch" in the inflection of the curve of their splitters that pops the wood apart. I have their spitter and a felling axe.

WOW , I will take one of each and double the order on the multi -purpose axe. Great looking tools , love the look of the slight curve in the handle and the heat treated look of the head with the polished cutting area.Had to watch this twice in a row and now I will be disappointed as I would like to see at least one video like this per week !!!!!!. Looking forward to the testing phase, Thanks and keep em coming.

they look amazing and it says a lot that each one got you excited and received a lot of praise. they look beautiful but my only gripe (coming purely from watching a video on youtube) is that they could design that 'Original U.S.A Hickory' detail to be a lot nicer. to me that's the only detail that doesn't appear as considered and thoughtful as the rest of the axe. anyway, great job and i hope they test well.

I found an old Ochsenkopf axehead in not so great shape. I removed all the rust and so on and now its all shiny. I oiled it and seated a modified gransfors brucks hickory handle on it. I would've made a Handle myself but my god, hickory is hard to get here in Germany... And i made a leather sheath for it. I did cut down one tree with it but now it hangs on my Wall waiting to get used one day.

Nice. I have to say that my Fiskers has gone threw around 80 cords and is still going strong. I use it as a cheap axe and had it at the church BBQ last night and it sure quarters up the wood better and with more ease than my expensive ones. I'm still looking for something better. Gransfors Burks isn't even as handy. It's light weight and splits as good as heavier ones. But I keep buying axes trying to find a better one.

at 10:18, my still axe head is exactly the same, has the '1000' embossed into it at exact same location...hmm

Wow, what a beautiful set of cutting tools. Will be interested in knowing what you think about them once you've had a chance to use them.

If you're going to have a line of axes, would you consider adding a broadaxe?

good start. At first glance, I prefer the sheath with the strap. The snaps break, pull through, rust.....the strap...if it ever wears out, it is easier to replace....the snap, not so much. I did not see the wedge they sent, on their web site. Look nice out of the box....like to see how they perform, stand up to heavy use and, re-sharpen. And yes, price. Does not look at present that they have a supplier in the US.
