6 out of 10 for chopping a bouncy branch? 🤨
Man I love that one. Super cool.
Beautiful knife man!!! Great job!
They are 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 am about to receive my ordered GBSFA. Thank you for sharing your video on how to use the GBSFA properly and emphasize safety. Because of your instructions I begin to respect my axe. Blessings.
I absolutely love the simplicity of that knife. Looks great.
52100 was probably great In 1870, but it is 2024, and I am like CPM-154, CPM3V, MAGNACUT, ELMAX, Cru-Wear, and the sheath is just like my bark river sheath, and I lost that because sheath got so worn, and soft it would NOT secure knife, and my TOOR field 2.0 sheath I lost that knife in snow because of leather sheath , and then my Winkler Crusher Belt knife W/Rubber grip had the best sheath, but it’s leather I had a new one made! My HFB, TRC, SCALLYWAG TACTICAL/TOOR, all have Awesome kydex sheaths. I have 4 fixed blades ONE folder that are pretty cool and squared away! good LUCK with your blades, GOD BLESS!
When I was a kid and teenager one of my best friends growing up split firewood as one of his chores. They used a wood stove to heat their house. My brother and I would hang out with him splitting wood for hours at a time. It was great. We'd take turns. I was the eldest by a year so could hold my own pretty well. We never hit ourselves with the axes and hammer, usually using a big 5 pound mull and wedges. I guess it was long enough where it would drop down to the dirt more if we missed. The motion was more like swinging over and then aiming the drop into the logs, not swinging down toward ourselves. These days I like caring a hatchet but have had a couple close calls with it. Cheers.
Fantastic review man, I absolutely love that sax style blade. I wound up getting the Tops Storm Vector in 1095. After seeing your video I want to re profile the edge on it.
Any one of my chainsaws would have made short work of that log.
Beautiful blade. Lon Humphrey does good work and l like the ergos, too. Had a Minuteman in 3V by him, regret selling it
Very nice video! Safety tips and all in one. Greetings from finland. My axe is from finland, billnäs. Over 50 years old and still going strong. Swedish axes like this is also awesome! 👍
What size drill bit? My instructions say 3/16 and that can’t be right as it doesn’t fit the predrilled tang holes.
Can nuk! Not Canic
Can-nuk not Canic Canuck is another word for referring to Canadians.
I'm sure that's a great axe but doesn't look like it cut very well, Try counsel tool much better in hard wood
I'm confused, what is the purpose of this video. Because this is basic woodsman safety we teach to our 12 year old Boy Scouts.
Bad idea to smake the pole whole yhe sheath is on. Forces the welt into the blade
Nice knife! Great review. I dont know if you realize this, but "Canuk" is an old-school slang term for "Canadian." Kinda like someone might call an American a "Yank" or someone from the UK a Brit or Limey, or something... And it's pronounced "k-nuck"... And the "nuck" is said like "puck"... Lol! If that makes any sense! I'm sure your knife is based on the Canadian Belt Knife pattern. Joker, for example, has one called the "Canadiense." Its a popular design up here in Canada. I no one really cares, but there you go...
Thank you! I appreciate the help with the pronunciation. That was something I didn’t know. I’ll try to fix how I say it going forward.
@@theold-fashionedwoodsman6703 Lol! Not a big deal at all. I'm sure no one besides me really cares! I just like the story behind the name. Being a Canadian, it's a rare source of national pride. It does look like a really great knife, tho. In fact, all the ones you showed there looked amazing! 👍
Got a Cadet on the last drop, amazing knife. Can't wait to get more Lishens.
I think quite honestly my Lishen’s are my most prized blades. Just so freakin good!!! Canuck though… K-ah-nuck my friend…like a Canadian
Agreed! Ah yes, well that’s what happens when you have a Southern boy trying to pronounce stuff 🤣 No one has ever told me I’ve been saying it wrong. I’ll try to correct that 👍🏼
Right, never done this before but he had all the right tools including the knife making belt sander!! BS! Thumbs down for lying!
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not but those are tools I have had for some time for different farm projects. The belt sander is just a cheap belt sander from Harbor Freight. It was truly the first one I’ve ever made.
That came out great. I've recently got started making knifes from kits. Much fun, very satisfying when all done.
I got one shipped , I can't wait ! I've been looking at it for 2 years!
Mighty pretty knife. Let us know how she fares.
Very nice man! An James seems like some good folks! Love the blade!
Beautiful work! 😎👍
You did a great job with this video. Thank you for taking the time to explain some axe safety tips, that was truly appreciated. If you put out videos like this, just of you out camping and teaching stuff, you'd get 100k's of subs man. Honestly, I believe in you dude, the most important thing is to put out videos regularly. Do it!
Fun video. Thanks
Working on two of them right now, one for a birthday gift, one for me! Both will have micarta scales though! I did not order the kit, I bought just the blades! 🤠🤠
10/10 job! That blade came out scary sharp too!! Scalpel with a handmade handle!!
I don't understand this sitting on the knees you lose a lot of power on the back
You can't hit your legs
@@robertlane5388 i’ve been chopping since 20 years ago, never hit them
@@robertlane5388 what about you?
@robertlane5388 is correct. It’s to avoid accidental strikes to any part of your leg. If you can’t tell, the advice in this video is geared to people who are new to axes. I have friends who watch my videos and they don’t know much about axes or how to use them safely. I’m glad you’ve not had any accidents is 20+ years, but some people aren’t as adept with an axe. These tips are for those people. Not to mention the length of the GBSFA is not well suited for upright bucking. 👍🏼
Shut the music off already!!
Lol no, it sets the mood for the video.
That's funny. I put an axe in my knee learning axe safety about 10 years ago. Couple hours of surgery and I never did it again LOL
That sounds brutal! I was hoping to help those new to axes be as safe as possible. Was there anything you feel like I missed?
Awesome Work! Can you please tell me what brand your sanding belt machine is and model number. Thanks.
Yeah! It’s a Central Machinery 1x30 from Harbor Freight.
swings axe like girl
Lol
upvote for the german Harvest Potato Soup. I often bought it during my exchange year in Kansas :D
I've done two kits, and bought two more, pre made. However, ALL of the accompanying sheaths we're handmade by me. Not period correct for the beaver fur trade, but excellent knives. Understand that this hunter design was popular with buffalo market hunters in the mid 1800's. Excellent bushcraft knife. Handles most camp chores well, and isn't a bear to touch up the edge when needed. BUT don't even THINK about batoning wood with this knife, unless you like a broken blade, or replacing scales. The cutler's rivets will not take the stresses of batoning, and the thin blade isn't designed for such work. Use a thicker bladed knife, if you absolutely MUST baton wood, or better yet a , 'hawk, hatchet, or axe.
Absolutely! It’s made to slice. This is the kind of knife I pair with other tools for sure!
👍 Beautiful knife. Nice job. Thank you for sharing.
Nice video, i have the wildlife hatchet from GB and it is awesome, the silky outback 240 is also in the bag as a companion when building shelters, but havent tried it so much yet. I want this axe because of the woodsplitting capabilities and to take down bigger trees, and after this video i will definetly get it. May i ask where you got that sexy little pot? And the volume? Keep up the good work. Cheers from sweden
Thank you. The wildlife hatchet is also a great woods tool. I like using the hatchet as a primary tool when just using a firebox to cook with. All of the GBs I have are just fantastic. When I'm out camping I really like pairing the GB small forest axe or the Scandinavian forest axe with a Silky Outback Edition BIGBOY Professional 2000 360mm. That's a power combo for sure. I think for the size and weight you'll be more than happy with the small forest axe. Ah yes the Billy Pot, one of my favorite pieces of kit. That one is a Firebox locking bail Billy Can/Zebra pot with stainless steel handle clips, and it's the 12 cm version. It's basically just a Zebra pot that Firebox modifies. If you get one, make sure you get one with the stainless steel clips because the normal ones have plastic clips and they melt. I hope that helps.
I want your knife. Had to watch this video one more time.
You're far too kind.
Excellent work, buddy. It is good to see someone of your generation have realistic expectations and be willing to put in a little work to make something they can be proud of. I have seen videos on here of people who are old enough to know better complain about having to put in a little work to make a cost effective knife meet their standards. They complain that it wasn't sharpened the way they wanted or the handle was a little rough or not shaped just right. I can understand having these complaints if they shell out 500 bucks or more but these are complaints on a knife they spent 40 dollars on ebay for. They don't realize how much it is worth to produce a high quality blade. Also, they don't see that a little work can turn a low cost kit into a terrific belt knife. Keep up the good work, little brother.
Thank you very much! I couldn't agree with you more. There's a lot of instant gratification and unrealistic expectations these days. It's sad really but a lot of people don't know the value of time and work. They just was great stuff and cheap. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I'll do my best to create more content that will hopefully inspire others.
5:58 you are hitting the wood at the top, which can flip it into your face. I would hit below where it is resting on the horizontal log to avoid this.
I completely agree with you. Those were rather short pieces and that's why I chose to hit near the top as it had the most contact with the support log, that being said you are correct. Typically in the past when I've used that technic, it's been on longer logs and I'm able to do exactly as you suggest. Thank you for pointing that out.
Thumb scallops would be sweet to Great work👌
Oh yeah a lot of people like them. My LT Genesis has them and I just never found them helpful for me. They actually got in my way as a hot spot in a hammer grip. Looking back though, aesthetically scallops or a taper would have made it look way better.
Underrated channel. Keep doing interesting stuff and it’ll grow (tho I’m no expert and don’t have a channel 😁). Just my opinion from a guy who watches way too many videos haha.
Thank you very much! I wish I had more time to make additional videos. I have a lot of outdoor gear to review, but no extra time. Hopefully, I can find time to get back to creating.
The chopping deserves a 9 bro. Great axe btw. Any plans on making a custom axe handle? Would be a great vid.
It is a great axe! Still one of my favorites. I have thought about rehandling an old axe but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Nice job! Very helpful and informative. Looking forward to checking out your other content.👍
Christian is such a nice guy !
Good for you. Don't be afraid to use your knives, Lon's knives are meant to be used. IMO he's an excellent maker with a style all to his own.
I have to have one!!!
