Weirdest Axe Ever Made

[@mitch019850]

For anyone who has ever split firewood, this is the most satisfying video ever...

[@philthethotdestroyer4194]

No kidding

[@FerenzeeBlazingReapr]

Out of all the ridiculous times that he has used safety glasses, he doesn't use them to chop wood?

[@StephClo]

Ferenzee84 😂 so true!

[@zainalvi9206]

In Russia glass wear you.

[@dantoxism8538]

No really, why aren't they making them anymore?

[@carsganster]

He says towards the end of the video that the springs would wear out and you have to replace them after so many uses

[@dantoxism8538]

carsganster Yeah I heard that but still, it's p interesting

[@moonlitmatt3241]

They do make them still they have a website and replacement springs

[@gavinjenkins899]

Marc Noel, if this thing splits, it IS a splitter.

[@dias17se]

A mallet does sma thing and lasts forever

[@joetoeshmoe26]

Bought one about 35 years ago, still using it. The first time I tried it the log split and flew about ten feet and bounced off the side of my truck. After that I figured out how to swing just enough to split the wood.

[@disherofpain]

Haha! Great story

[@BreadandFaxes]

I was always taught to let the axe or maul do the work. Shift your hands as you drop the axe down and it shifts the weight to the head of the axe giving it more weight behind the chop.

[@tomsanone]

need the slo-mo close up.

[@brandonc6445]

It would be nice if you compared it with a normal axe. Also, cutting nice dry oak is going to split nicely with any axe, find different types of wood to split.

[@dblocklakeave.3498]

Try iron wood

[@maggs131]

Try some green maple lol

[@isaacswisher3896]

Brandon C

[@i1bike]

Brandon C try some almond tree

[@MindBodySoulOk]

Try any wood I have in my yard.

[@bushcraftbaxter]

Just the thumbnail got me excited to watch this! It really cuts that wood like butter!

[@Yikeowsky]

Bushcraft Baxter ya

[@carlosrosario5371]

Bushcraft Baxter ssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzz hot axe v.r butter lol

[@nikobellic328]

Yup

[@Wazguu]

Nope. Frozen butter as u need to hit harder

[@wangchong000]

Bushcraft Baxter it doesn't cut it splits

[@Energikar]

Saw commercials for this axe in the 70s. Never used one. We always waited for it to be about 20 degrees F out side and the wood cracked easier. Your right it looks fun...

[@joshuanorgaard6425]

Hey so when you chop wood you start with your dominant hand at the throat (closest part to the head of the axe) swing down and slide your dominant hand to where your non dominant hand is (bottom of the handle). If you do this it will put less strain on your back and arms and the weight of the head will do all the work

[@jessewhite4864]

Exactly

[@jimihenrik11]

I've been chopping wood for many years now. Sometime even very hard, branched wood. I've never done what you decsribed. Never have i had any problems with my back.

[@crashyburnymit4080]

My dominant hand stays on the very end of the handle, and the other hand slides and keeps the axe on its path. Quite the opposite of what you say

[@droyce4596]

crashyburny MIT yes, this is also how I swing an axe. I have tried it the correct way, in which the dominant hand does the sliding, but its just so backwards to me, and I couldnt get used to it. Also, I think the power from the swing comes from the sliding hand, and my left (non dominant) arm is certainly much stronger than my right(dominant)

[@straittax9332]

crashyburny MIT same but with sledge hammers

[@InfectusInauro]

I saw one of these at an antique shop the other day! There's a Swedish made axe that does essentially the same thing merely with the movement of chopping. Would love to see a comparison of the two.

[@tatyyloveu]

i have an exam tomorrow and i'm watching all his splitting logs videos

[@larrythelobster5633]

Tatiana Urban LOL

[@exploreoutdoors3978]

Tatiana Urban SAAAABAAAAGE

[@vigilj5]

Exam on a Saturday!?!? Whaaaaaat?!

[@rameezbhayed7261]

Bruh its saturday tomorrow

[@saschap8461]

the procrastination is real

[@42lookc]

I remember ads for these things way back around 1980. I figured they were just another gimmick, but your video proves they aren't! Thanks!

[@jackblunt8468]

The blue jays squawking around Taras are confusing the shite outa my cat, lookin' behind my pc with saucer eyes...epic.

[@SpencerFcp]

Pretty useful thing. Usage aside, they look pretty cool too. Gonna see if I can buy one. Woulda been interested in seeing how a regular axe handles that wood, to see much the of a difference there is in cutting power.

[@Stikkzz]

in the upward movement let the left hand near axe head then on peak slide to end of handle where your right hand is your back will thank you

[@Lone__Wolf407]

thank you finale someone said how to use an axe right

[@52flyingbicycles]

They taught me that in boy scouts. IDK why he didn't know that trick, being a grown man.

[@stealthynipz09]

I grew up using that exact axe head to split many of woods. there is nothing else quit like it. I actually havent ever seen another like it till now in this video. Awesome video!

[@SourGasoline404]

That was so cool. I agree, the thumbnail did get me interested.

[@nukacola3795]

love this awsome guy! full of life and loving every minute of it. he makes even the most mundane gadgets interesting becouse he makes it interesting! thank you for being you.

[@mauricioaparicio4807]

You have to put this in SlowMo

[@MaverickandStuff]

I have one, and it does work well with some woods. I need to find or make a new handle for it.

[@johnnyvisconti2197]

Wears safety glasses when he uses kitchen gadgets but doesn’t use them when splitting wood...smh🤔

[@sk8er_boi166]

No. Your thinking of crazyrussian hacker. This is tarus kul. Differnt people

[@johnnyvisconti2197]

Sk8er _boi No obviously they’re two different guys but they’re just so similar I thought he would do the same as CRH

[@emeryshurpit8656]

DementedCaliber You realise its a joke right?

[@Rainaman-]

never seen anyone wear eye protection when splitting wood

[@megaharben]

Kalil Ibn-Muhammed Bilal And the food isn't scared of him. He drags them into his home, breaks out his new tools, defiles them, and then eats what's left.

[@jesseellington342]

Had mine for 30 years. Think you can still buy Choppers on Amazon last I checked. Even the correct handle and replacement moving parts on the head. Love mine.

[@-eMpTy-]

why does taras videos always relieves my anxiety :))

[@saschap8461]

because he's very calm all the time. I would be too, with his kind of life.

[@luibenedictmartin1150]

Because he's kul

[@koosh6876]

indiapale arent you the coolest

[@QueefJuiceOverflow]

cause he reminds you of Borat

[@keijo8238]

QueefJuiceOverflow yep

[@raythulhu5143]

I've used one of these....works better than an axe for splitting, but nowhere near as good as a plain ol' splitting maul.

[@sojourn1544]

Raythulhu that's exactly right.....they probably stopped making them because nobody was buying them....looks like a gimmick.....

[@mounir101]

So cool, thanks, Taras

[@SgtElev3n]

so Kul

[@ericwainwright4991]

We have one of these up at deer camp and it is a beast and one of the best splitting mauls ive ever used. You can really split alot of wood quick with this.

[@deniset2115]

Splitting logs looks like a good workout.

[@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer]

It is. Very similar to the way fighters whack a big tractor tyre with a sledge hammer. Full body workout. You get same results using a kettlebell.

[@CapitalProxy]

that worked so well! i sure had my doubts tho, i wonder if the mechanism fails after a while. seems kinda like the two levers might break or something but even then its still be just an ax

[@shaunkz2805]

You should get some wooden pallets and stack your wood piles on them instead of leaving them on the ground. Helps to dry them out quicker and they’ll stay dry because when they’re on the ground the bottom row soaks up the ground moisture. Just a suggestion!!

[@2ndchancellor]

I could watch a video of him chopping wood all day. It's very entertaining

[@HeyRamy]

Taras this axe looks kul!

[@angelforanimals7809]

Ramyrror 47 ~Your comment looks very uncool!

[@ojplayz9193]

Badum ttttttsssssķkk

[@jojomonkey7002]

Ramyrror 47 nice pun

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

WHERE IS THE SAFETY?!? NO LONGER #1 PRIORITY?!?

[@saschap8461]

he'd have to wear steel pants if he were to have any safety with an axe.

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

Sascha P Eye protection.

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

elwhiteusd220 Safety should be everyone's priority. I feel so conflicted.

[@f.l.whitehead216]

elwhiteusd220 taras kul is crazy Russian hacker

[@mohammadmalik9075]

XxCyclops nero XD its a joke

[@scouterchewie]

We have one of these at our cottage. My dad bought it 37 years ago. Split many logs.

[@ardyandkari]

So funny...I grew up with this splitting maul. I saw the title and thought maybe it was something different, but nope. just cleaner than dads. :)

[@fukallbobbillygates2198]

Lol I cut wood all the time with my dad

[@hal900x]

I love simply engineered solutions. It takes a special kind of engineer to use the minimum complexity to solve a problem.

[@TheNickLavender]

My dad has had one of these for about 30 years. I now understand how it works lol!

[@geoff9746]

Got one of these 30 years ago in Canada. eventually one of the "leaves" broke but it still worked! Good buy.

[@thetinshed5528]

To put the axe head on hit the end of the handle and it will push the handle into the head.

[@Rubensgardens.Skogsmuseum]

Yepp. And the wedge should be cut slightly before it bottoms and then knocked down and broken off so that the handle swells around the wedge securing it.

[@MyrhusTrym]

its painful to watch...

[@luischabolla1613]

the stroke too with gloves also lol

[@paveldaddy]

And boom! You're good to go!

[@Loohrr]

I got so mad when he hit the head of the axe instead to put it on...

[@denislinehan5581]

I've had one of those axes for 25 plus years. Tough as tripe and a joy to own. Works super. Great axe.

[@sonderdonder8266]

When will the next birb video?

My father has one of these and love it those are very good axe to split logs! Thanks for sharing.

[@konrigg8774]

[@lucasspiteri6129]

Konstanyinos Riggas no you are less accurate then

[@Aomicplane]

Other people of my age go out in the weekend, i watch video's of axes... Worth it

[@polaroidsofpolarbears365]

that makes splitting a cord of wood look like child's play lol.

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

Stanky Fish Gutz The cord is the whorly part that's really tough, right?

[@ReasonMakes]

What are you talking about? He is cutting oak with a full-sized axe. Have you ever cut wood before? It looks exactly the same as splitting wood with a regular axe.

[@watercloset99]

he is splitting straight grain wood.....that's why it "looks" like child's play

[@Londrino]

We actually have one of these. The handle is broken, so I need to replace it, but I didn't realize they weren't made anymore. Served us well for many years.

[@1skintyte]

Lol I just love listening to this guy talk.

[@mumzly1]

I have that exact wood splitter in my basement. You can, if you have the eyelets, actually hook cables up to the sides of the levers to help split the log.

[@p.srinivasu9139]

When he cuts wood "boom"

[@mrrevolution2878]

I used one of these about 30 years ago when splitting wood for the family wood stove. Worked pretty well unless schmoo got stuck around the pushing arms.

[@orecrnogorac5388]

Last time I was this early That axe was still in production

I want to see Wranglerstar do a review on this axe!

[@prepared2thrive101]

Second that!!!

[@sippe3985]

Yes!

[@jody024]

Why ? you already have Taras...

[@cyberwolf5787]

Devan Biasi same!

[@Devan...]

jody024 Cody just has a special charm about him when It comes to vintage tools.

[@babyeatice]

Pretty cool, you should do a side by side comparison to a traditional ax to see the difference between performance.

[@cyberwolf5787]

They need to start making these again

[@saschap8461]

they need to make axes great again

[@tajai007]

They do still make them Google the company in newyork I ordered a brand new one

[@cyberwolf5787]

tajai007 oh cool

[@n8er_tater]

That is incredible! I guess the mechanism is what kept it from catching on. Harder to get parts quickly long ago.

[@josepherickson7618]

Pretty cool

[@ericrobinson7184]

Nice...love simple and obscure innovations. How did you find out about it?

[@nickelliott4978]

Gotta admire his enthusiasm

[@nichts_als_die_Wahrheit]

i love the way you speak english with this accent, very cool bro

[@gpcaraudio]

Jason Voorhees approves.

[@funnyyugig1481]

Freddy Krueger also approves I can split peoples plains in half way easier-freddy

[@funnyyugig1481]

What the heck!?

[@James-B-]

Jason used a machete.....

[@eamonnmattiello1036]

B James true

[@ranchwood8053]

funnier if you had a profile for jason

[@alifetomake]

So the rotating pieces of the axe make the wood twist in different directions, which breaks it easily?

[@EVYNROCKS115]

My dads got one of those chopper ones , best axe I've ever used

[@morgan10152]

I have had one for thirty years. I think we bought it at Sears. Works like a champ. Much easier than an axe and mall.

I'm so glad I found this..maybe next video you'll show us a shovel, a hammer, and a few other tools that have been around a long time.

[@reyeschristinejessicat.9400]

Ez

[@Absent_keebs]

Weeb00 ツ actually just take an Minecraft iron axe and add two levers on the side

[@trapperkcmo3460]

i had one of these in alaska back when they were new. i found it to be more of a novelty. my regular double bit axe was my choice for big splitting. nice memory, though. good buy and video.

[@TomMcD71]

Looks like it makes chopping wood very easy

[@qdivision4120]

Used this axe in the past nothing like it. It works!

[@kino266]

why didnt this kind of axe head become more popular ??

It's nice to see someone with a handicap so successful on KZbin!

[@thegiant573]

Saftey should be #1 Priority! Wear saftey glasses when chopping wood. My mother almost lost an eye 40 years ago.

[@saschap8461]

has she found it by now?

[@pokerandphilosophy8328]

He said that she nearly lost it. So, the correct question to ask is whether she nearly found it by now.

[@sveinarnelkken9125]

i have one, and you have to be really lucky with your wood for it to work. i got it working once, but the wood was so small in diameter, a normal axe worked just as well... tried it on some large birch this summer, and didn't even penetrate...

[@tannerrangel9214]

This video is so sasitifying👌🏻 I like these axe videos!

[@jbaker16804]

These are extremely effective, we have one and use us to split Hickory and it only takes a few swings, I highly recommend them

[@arrashisatyadi7010]

Very unique super cool

[@LinuxGalore]

a log splitter with a chain wrapped around the log, that way you can cut smaller pieces without it all flying apart. Also the chain helps concentrate the energy of the splitter so it is more effective.

[@180SecondIdeas]

OK this is super cool.

[@camronhagler5998]

It cracks me up every time he says "there ya go" lol

[@am19_7]

Nice video!!Keep up the great work.

[@am19_7]

Wulfy I had to choose the weirdest one.

[@markwright2360]

you're no stranger to firewood splitting, I can tell. your accuracy on the second hit is very good.

[@supergamer-ho7sc]

Just like me that handle is broken inside

[@lmalino695]

Bought one of those back when they first came out. Disappointed! The theory was the side pawls would keep the axe from sticking if the log didn't split. It was heavier to swing and did stick.

[@undertaker7879]

In russia: Tree chops you

[@disherofpain]

Score

[@Dang3rMouSe]

That is the 1st chopping axe I ever got! Amazing u r doing a video for it. works great

[@TexasGTO]

And now chopper wishes they were still in business.

[@ReinerEvans]

Huh, with some durability enhancements on things such as the springs so it has a long life, it certainly seems like an effective ax to use, and honestly, they should bring it back. Maybe they could start off by contacting people who normally use axes to compare a standard to the Chopper 1 to show its used.

[@danielko2120]

4:11 he almost slipped 😂😂😂

[@Mikeanglo]

Seems cool and effective, but I wonder if a normal maul without the independent moving bits is just as effective.

[@denizkaraytug2004]

Please do science things again.

[@wanderingfido]

Yeah, these were really awesome. The other great thing is that it would absorb some of the brunt force shock you would normally get into your wrists and forearms. I loved it back in the day.

[@roylogan51298]

That splits like butter lol

[@OverlandOne]

Looks like an excellent design...I wonder why no one is making them still?

[@bijayegmr5007]

now weirdest axe ever its the collest axe ever
