Great looking 👀 knives 🔪 . Is the RWL hard to sharpen & do you like it more than O1 ?? All the best. Thank you 👍🏻

I bought one like it, it's an excellent axe, I'm from Brazil and unfortunately the taxes make the price high, but it's worth it

Hi. Planting new trees using the brunches, will get it growing in width too, like a trunk does?

I have a few knives from LT and AdventureSworn and agree with this review of specific models, but don't feel it's representative of brand strengths. AS makes fantastic semi-custom knives to spec with a variety of steels, grinds, blade profiles, handles etc. I could be mistaken but would put LT closer to Bark River Knives, great value if you like a certain production run, but not quite playing the same game.

I loved the video! Its worth noting that our knives are generally very customizable - you can request those changes you prefer. We can use a thinner blade steel, add a dangler to the sheath, etc. We're actually smaller than LT Wright (it's just my wife and I), so we're more than happy to accomodate reasonable requests. 😄👍

I had to wait a year for my order to arrive. Worth the wait though- great piece of kit. Absolutely love it.

I enjoyed your video . Which hand ax are you using ? Cheers

Good technique, it's good to see here how you take your time. Every close call i have had with an axe happened because i was rushing and without presence of mind. Also great to see how quickly that axe cuts through wood.

Just got myself a 3lb gilpin axe

As a Black Belt, I see the hawk as an effective weapon, lethal and non. As a camper and hiker, I see the multiple uses around camp and light weight to carry. As you mentioned, probably not driving too many nails with it in the field, but maybe a few tent stakes, or even wooden dowels. I haven't done it, but it would probably split a deer ribcage open effectively. I have stuck a rod on it and sparked a fire. I carry one in my get home bag. Also have the Norse hawk inside the home as a self defense option.

I bought both, then sold the pack axe.

My garden has become a new hobby, inspired by a few people, including yourself. Thank you so much for providing these wonderful videos, I have been learning so much. Would you mind telling me whether I can make a garden arch using goat willow (caprea), it is all I have! Thank you.

Nice video, thank you!

Hello I’m looking to buy this last blade you were talking about but I can’t seem to find it. Can you please tell me a bit more about it? Like length of the blade, model, or how I can find that exact shape on their website? Anything helps 🙏

My CT Boys axe is about five years old. I do not know when I bought it but it is a forged steel axe and has harder steel than my GBA Small Forest axe. I sharpened them both, yesterday, and the Boys axe was markedly harder than the Small Forest axe. That surprised me. It took me twice as long to sharpen the Boys axe than it did the Small Forest axe. I have used the Boys axe as a wedge banger and a general yard axe, cutting roots, cutting up fallen limbs, etc. it has never received the care my GBA axes get. I know it is a forged axe because I had to clean up a little rust on the blade after I sharpened it. I think the cheap CT axes are now stainless. Mine is not stainless. My guess is 1060 steel because the GBA axes are 1055 steel.

If it's made in another country and not Sweden, there's no way in hell it's the same quality as the original!

Are you South African, or am I missing the accent?

Grandsfors Bruks have good axes but this company is a proud member of the agenda 2030. This is why i never will buy an axe from them.

I planted hazelnuts under power lines. It’s good to know I can pollard them if they get too tall, and create more nuts in the process.

That sheath might actually be sized for putting a collar guard on. I have an axe that had the opposite problem, the sheath fit fine in stock form, but when I added a leather collar guard it was too snug . They probably figure most guys are running one of those on their axes.

The sharpest and easiest to use is my GB Wildlife Hatchet. I have a small Forest Axe, too, but the hatchet is much easier to use.

Like anything, you get what you pay for!

looks like axe use by mi in Podlasie I like

Fine Craftsmanship 🙂 👍

Love mine

Awesome

Why do people keep going to the branches instead of the heartwood and stumps

Great review mate thank you. I like all your work.

Does coppice need to be cut at ground level or a foot or so above ground?

Saw the title in the notification and straight away thought, "hell yeah!", next thought was the song Rocky Road to Dublin😂 Cool that cultures worldwide recognise and utilize such a simple universal tool. Good job on coming back to a project a year on...easier said than done! Nice work mate👍👍 Edit: i reckon its a Blackthorn Knobkerrie😁

Nicely done!

Very interesting. Do they normally double as a walking stick when not being used as a weapon ? Or are they very much singular purposed ?

Interesting video Trev! Thanks.

Muy interesante el proceso de fabricación 👍

great video, have a great day :)

You can put some paint on the ends to prevent splitting while it dries and cures

Great Video

Great Video. Very informative. thank you.

I wish I could buy one of these knives, been after a Rob Evan’s knife for some time now but ordering anything from the UK now is just out of the question sadly.

Nicely & sympathetically presented video - Bravo! The axe is clearly very sharp. You're maybe stronger than me but I prefer a lighter, single-handed axe - 1.5lbs - partly for manoeuverability and partly because the other hand (my left) is always in use to hold or to steady the wood. Once limbed, I find, if I have a decent stump or log to cut onto, I can cross-cut poles up to 2in in diameter with 2 blows - the first using near 100% effort, then rotate the stem 180deg as I am raising the arm for the second (50-70% effort). I also use an arborist's hand saw (curved, narrow blade, 4 TPI, cuts on the pull-stroke) as well as bowsaw as the former can often be used on the side of the stem in tension (ie towards the middle of the stool) and so only needs one cut and no notch.

Noone speaks about the grade of the recycled steel of Gransfors Bruks and their qa has definitely seemed to wane compared to older offerings. Why does anyone insist on paying that much for anonymous steel? Doesn't make sense to me.

Great video. 👍 I have a Gary Wines bushcrafter just like that one. I saw it pop up for sale and grabbed it to add to my collection. I love LT Wright knives. Subbed. I got some videos on my knives if youd like to check them out.

I think if they gave this model a convex grind, it would be top dog.

PS There is no evidence (as of yet) that the Kopis is where the Kukri originated from, my research in Nepal along with talking to Nepalese historians has led me to believe that the Kukri is indigenous to Nepal. When the British went to India and worked their way up to Nepal, in the historical accounts of the battles that ensued, the British don't mention the Kukri until they started to have confrontations with the Goorkhas of Nepal, I hope that is of use to you.

Hi, Simon from Tora Blades. I would say that is a very fair review, but some of points I’d like to pick up up on👍 1. All Tora blades are functional and are made to be used within the scope of what that particular Kukri was designed for. 2. The Mk2 isn’t a fighting blade per se. It was a general issue for those that qualified for a Kukri. The Gurkha Battalions/Regiments used their own Kukri. There is circumstantial evidence that a few Gurkha battalions in WW1, like the 3/3rd for example used a Mk 2 Kukri, but nothing conclusive as of yet. Also Mk2 Kukri never had an angled spine and had a pretty specific shape, so anything outside of those parameters isn’t a Mk2. 3. The current service issue is a rat tail tang, some people mistakenly call it a Mk5, it’s simply a Service No.1. Thank you for a pretty fair review 👍

Those Hazel Stools should be cut much lower

Fatwood…best natural fire starter. Works even wet.

Tuatahi….king of axes.

Got two a couple of days ago, 3 days too Ireland. And they are fantastic
