    Olive Oil.........that's just brilliant. I've never thought about the risk of petrolium based oils on the blade if used for skinning. Thanks for the tip Dave.

    What I do is buy an old American axe head from at least 50-75 years old. I then put a handle on it my own. its made from really good steel and its all hand forged.

    Kydex is simple to do. If you have an oven and pot holders you can form your own sheaths. Rivets are also cheep. UA-cam can teach you to do it.

    Good information. Thanks again. I found a 23" Norlund and a small hatchet, also Norlund on the internet and got both for $100 w/shipping. Hatchet like new and axe very clean and loved.
    With some guidance, there are treasures on eBay and other sites if willing to have a pre- loved blade

    I heard circle sharpening is better for a spliting axe and straight motioned works better for hughing axes, because the circler makes a beval.

  • @vintageliving
    @vintageliving 8 років тому +1

    I have 4 GB axes including these 2. I have fun using my hunters axe to process feral hogs, sometimes. However, I'm really looking forward to receiving my Trappers hatchet & 28" camp axe from Liam Hoffman! As a professional hog trapper, I had to have that trappers axe.
    There's nothing wrong with this method either...

  • @anthonyferreira9059
    @anthonyferreira9059 10 років тому

    Hi Dave. I always used cooking oil to lubricate stuff. But in my experience I realized that olive oil is saltier than sunflower seed oil. So I started to use only sunflower seed oil, because olive oil in long storage rusted faster. Did you tried other cheap cooking oils?

  • @Mountainbum1876
    @Mountainbum1876 10 років тому

    I recently had a wetterlings axe head break on me with normal use. Quarter size piece of the blade broke off. Most likely a heat treat or temper problem. I really like there axes so i'm willing to give them another chance.

  • @flipstyle1983

  • @Simplemansnature
    @Simplemansnature 10 років тому

    Dave, I know you said that it should either be a SA Wetterlings or a Grandsford Brooks, but I had my eye on that Condor Greenland axe? Thanks for the tip on using soil on a rag to take off rust. Good video as always.

    • @DavidCanterbury
      @DavidCanterbury  10 років тому

      Condor makes a good Axe but they are not the same as SAW or GB. Buy what you can afford and upgrade as you can

    • @DavidCanterbury
      @DavidCanterbury  10 років тому +2

      Sarah Craley As I have said the Condor is a good axe, but the metal composition and quality are not as good as the SAW nor is the guarantee-

  • @midnightsurvival
    @midnightsurvival 10 років тому

    Hey Dave. Great vid. With the Christmas season on approach and many knives and axes being opened in the next month, I was wondering if u could do a video of from store shelf to the hip. I really like the idea of the multi purpose use of evoo in keeping blades oiled but safe for eating. Is there any way u degrease or clean the oil from ur equipment before olive oil? Or even Leather oiling. Breaking in leather sheaths after purchase, or fresh made. Thanks for all the great vids. I'm getting my scout this week from the battle horse knives virtual show last Saturday and want to start it off right.

  • @wildernessfreak81
    @wildernessfreak81 10 років тому

    That was a good video Dave! I was wondering when you where going to have a specific video on sharpening axes. So what do you thinks better a circle sharpening or a single stroke across the blade?

  • @TANKDIESEL1000
    @TANKDIESEL1000 10 років тому

    Thank you.

  • @danieljacobs9524
    @danieljacobs9524 10 років тому

    great video dave love all you videos very educational . two questions dave 1. what brand is the block stone sharpner you have on the video and 2. if your budget doesn't allow for either of the two axes you recomend is there certain things to look for on other axes . not brands but design styles or handle material. thank you for the videos please keep it up

  • @tsnorquist
    @tsnorquist 10 років тому

    Dave,
    A bit off topic, but can you fill us in on what happened to Blind Horse knives. I was watching some of your older videos and was finally going to pull the trigger on purchasing a Pathfinder (*PLSK2*) for Christmas, but went to the manufacturer home page to verify warranty info and saw the company has split.
    Should I be worried about future warranty work if needed? I read they would honor warranties, but wanted your opinion. Sorry if you've already addressed this in a previous post.

    And the second like the oil bottle how did you clean it from rifle oil too olive oil wouldn't it have a residue from the last lot ?

    Is there a reason you go in the same direction across the ax blade with the file? I saw you flip it over and the draw the ax towards you instead pushing away before you flipped it over. Does it make a difference?

  • @barkeater8733
