I clicked on this guy a few days earlier out of boredom.
Here I am, after like 20 videos later, knowing all kinds of things about axes :))
The knowledge he shares Is definitely useful but it is different when you do this for yourself.
Doing the same, and I live in a city ...
if I was an axe manufacturer. you would be my chief consultant.
+Steven DiGregorio Thank you Steven,
Simp
Elias Harben you dumbass he said that 4 years ago
I think a lot of manufacturers don’t have any people that have ever even seen an axe
I know this video is three years old but I truest enjoyed watching an unboxing of italian axes. New tools to me are really fun to watch unboxing. It’s that first impression. Great video! Did you do a follow up video for these axes? Would definitely like to see that video(s) also. Great channel! Super happy I stumbled upon it. ;-)
Especially since they’re such nice axes
That is more axes than you would ever need for the rest of your life :)
Thanks for sharing - Martin
Your channel is calming and I like it.
I have no use for axes, but I really like watching his videos anyway! Very calming.
Cott14 you suck
I like it to
But at least I am not a baby
He’s like Bob Ross, but with axes.
Psssh, I'm not going to watch an 18 minute unboxing video...
(18 minutes later)
...dang it.
+Akademee ha!
Haha
2 years late but i just got the hatchet for 37 dollars.
Lol yeah time is weird
Watch it at 2X speed: All the information and half the disappointment.
You are going to be very busy trying out that little lot and I wish you luck getting past Mrs W with the wedge to put on display.
+MukyMik busted! mrsw :)
+Wranglerstar bwahhahh...when will they ever learn?
what happened to mrsw
I want that wedge
That was a cool present, can't wait to watch them in action!
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.
Thanks for the info!
Rodger P who needs hickory when u have black locust? I mean it’s probably got 90% of the hardness and strength of hickory with nearly the same modulus of elasticity I believe and grows like five times as fast. Hungarian varieties can grow like hybrid poplars. Check the wood database.
England ash is very popular
Cody, you remind me of Mr. Rogers with shop tools! I have followed you for a year now and I've enjoyed your family and videos. thank you very much for your kind spirit and wholesome content. You and family are in my prayers and may God continue to prosper your endeavors.
lovely design on that wedge and the splitting hammer. definitely my fav
With all those samples Mrs W may have to bring food out to the wood pile. You will be testing (playing) with all the new types of axe's. I am interested in the faller's axe and the wide head short axe. Guess a new series or axe test video's are in order.
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.
Quite interesting. The hanks for that info.
+Ale Vera
Maybe this is why they come with American Hickory handles. Good points though.
+Ale Vera If you're from "the other end of America" with the way our politics are going, I guess that means you guys got the brain. (I love Chile, had a friend in Osorno.)
+Rodger Pitts Great to hear that!! Osorno is a beautiful area, specially if you like endless forests and pristine lakes!! Lovely people too!!
2 Videos the same Day?! Is this already Christmas 2016?
Thank you Cody
I know, right?
+Bauer power
yea totaly
almost christmas 2017 now
I've got a really nice 26" 3lb head prandi that was purchased for me by my work and it's wonderful for pounding wedges and after re profiling it on the Tormek it's a decent limbing axe too
They look beautiful. I look forward to seeing how they perform.
I don't think I've ever even touched an axe in my life and I just stumbled on this video after watching some Japanese cats splitting shingles but - I need one. Hell! I need them ALL! They're just gorgeous! Wow! I had no idea there was such an axe...cult, LOL! Wow...fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Acquired 25 axes in two weeks after getting the fever.
Don't be a poser, don't get an axe if you have never seen or touched an axe that's one way how accidents happen.
ROFL! So, you're saying I should touch OTHER people's axes...I bet you'd have the exact same hissy fit, ROFL!
That wedge gave me goosebumps in my gooch
Phenomenal!!! I like the non-american style of hatchet. I love that that cutting edge opens up real wide! Elegant!
That WEDGE!!!!
Trick Flow used to make some phenomenal heads for the ford 5.0 Windsor EFI called "Twisted Wedge" heads... The name kind of evokes that w the wedge. A twisted amazing chunk of metal that serves a purpose and performs, yet also looks SO GOOD just sitting there on display!
Well let's see if the steel is any good
+James WB its low carbon steel (0,45%) it has 0.6% of manganese. Prandi has the info on their webpage. the steels stats are not impressive.
+tomas lainas Here in the EU, historically speaking, Itally isn't known for it's quality steel, though it has improved (their cars were known to be rustbuckets, likely to do with the difference in climate from south vs north europe)... but from what i know of steels, the temper in the end is more important when it comes to tool applications.
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 ;)
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 ;)
Rich206L Think he just put up one, I see axes ;) ... and yeah, the swords was more to illustrate the difference in steels, like the chisel there after. Cheers Rich :)
So many great axes deserve: That you put the name of producer in the title. "The Ultimate Axe Video Haul: ???
got my Prandi in and it's grain orientation is perfect and it came hair shaving sharp. thank you Wranglestar for introducing me to Prandi!I've ordered two more axes and it's all thanks to you!God bless!!
I love that fanned out hatchet, as well as the short felling axe. Would love to see a video testing the effectiveness of the splitters!
Too early for HD, too late for 240p.
Cody theses are IDENTICAL to the German OCHSENKOPF "ox head" including that big maul. They all look like a knock off? And the Swedish style ones too. Not to say they are good but you can already get any one of these identical axes almost anywhere. I think they just get Ochsenkpoh the make these for them just like Stihl. I believe you could do something way more original and stick with and American maker.
www.ochsenkopf.com/en/products/index.html
Can they confirm to you where the heads are being sourced. To me the handles look the same as well. Also most of the ox heads that I see now are terrible grain orientation. I think they just sent you the good ones.
www.helkonorthamerica.com/store/c2/Traditional_.html. They also look exactly like these. Look at the one with wedge splitting axe.
+Wranglerstar
+Michael Rhodes will look at
What awesome axes and mauls they make. I am really amazed by their quality.
I have around 50 axes, 7 hatchets and 11 mauls. All of my axes I have found or given to me, just one a paid for on a lawn sale for $3 because it looked to be hand made and I have never seen another one like it. I have been making all my handles myself for about 30 years, nothing fancy but they hold up very well. Most of my axe heads and things I find around old abandon houses and farms. I have been collecting them just as a hobby. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Between the handles and fit and finish of the axe heads ,they are truly a work of art that you'll have fun using,,,totally jealous!
Guy
Your gonna have some tough hands once you try all these bad boys. Man what a gift! I smell a subscriber giveaway?
You say your diaper needs a changing?
There is almost 5k thumbs up on this one, so for 5K thumbs up we want to see the wedge video first.
Thanks for the unveiling of the Axe Collection. Made and sent from Italy !!
Tools of the trade made with care and usability in mind !!
thanks for showing the many axes out there, I have use the spitting wedge maul many times and have grown to grab that one first when i have a pile of oak to render. Keep up the sharing of ideas and new products.
I guess the 1000 on the head was the weight, 2.2# or 1000 grams or 1 kg
+Kristyanna Virgona Yup it was
+Kristyanna Virgona circle gets a square!
+Kristyanna Virgona What I figured instantly too. Canada - metric.
A kilo seems real light for an axe head
Whoa, beautiful. Those Italians are masters. Hopefully they sort you out on the benefits of metric.
Americans are masters too.
grr ummmpee there are a few
Metric and imperial systems shouldn't be a problem to convert. For your purposes 2.2 lbs per 1 kg or 2.54 cm per 1 inch.
I purchased both a German axe and the German bearded splitting maul. Used on a many oak trees and I won’t use anything else. I have beat the snot out of both of them and they are worth every penny. A must purchase. Great job by Prandi
I would love to see how well the work, especially the splitting axe with the build in wedge.
what ever happen to the Prandi Axe's??
A/C Solutions LLC I see them for sale in amazon
how did i get here? this is what happens when you get bored on UA-cam, looks like this time i ended up in the axe department,
still enjoyed the video though xD
Just gotta say, thank you so much for all you do. Keep up the awesome work with the videos. These axe and maul videos just keep getting better and better.
I have been using a twisted wedge (1st unwrapping) just like the one in your box. 1st time I used it, got two more!! Although, not really needed, hardly ever gets stuck. I love them. I don't remember the maker, but not from Italy.
Can you plug your axe into an amp? :)
\m/
Sorry for my ignorance. But what is grain orientation?
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.
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.
+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.
axtra92 Yeah that would be of great help.
All three posted at the same time. Thought that would go without saying. No good deed go unpunished...
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
I really liked the small forest style one. I would like to see how the edge holds up.
define affordable.....
+John Hunter How about you define affordable,
+Wranglerstar what axe are we talking about being affordable?
+John Hunter www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Define%3A+affordable
+Wranglerstar $50USD
+TheeIndubitably
$80 Canadian right?
Oh sweet Jesus, I'll bet they're expensive.
Those things are really sweet. I am very happy for you getting these, and I look forward to your design of an axe. I would think the work you do as a firefighter would really help you to understand what works and what doesn't. I love that wedge they sent you. I think the hatchet appealed to me most. And again congratulations.
Cannot wait to see more about these!!! Very much looking forward to a possible collab!
i am very intrigued by the second to last hatchet that came out. i have been looking for a reasonably large hatchet that is a multipurpose from chopping small fire wood to kindling.
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.
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.
yeah it keeps it clean and also it protects the wood from water damage, stains ect.. you can order oild handles from most of these european makers.. same with machetes.. martindale can provided unvarnished handles on request
I like that wide blade hatchet. The last one the splitting axe with built in wedge was cool too. interested in seeing it work.
I can't wait to see the splitting axe in action! The "Smaller Surface Area" one.
I'm interested in a video on the splitting wedge and a comparison of your favorite splitting ax compared to the one with the built in wedge
Love the same one you do, the all purpose one. For camping I like that European style hatchet. I would also love to see a new production Wranglestar axe. Awesome!
Oh man, i cannot wait for a video where you try them all out. Especially that unusual splitting head! Very curious about that.
And the splitting wedge? That one has to be put to work, only to prove if elegant design can also be practical. I'm soooo clicking the thumbs up on this one
I love the look of the smaller camp style axes. The rest are awesome looking but for my purposes they'd see much less use. Love the styling and look forward to some detailed review videos for these. If they worked well and were affordable I'd be interested in picking one up :)
Today i got my smal hatchet from Prandi. I have to say, totally love ist. But mine wasn't shipped in the wax paper. Handle is not covert in varnish. Worth the price! Thanks for introducing me, and the other viewers, to Prandi.
My fav would be the classic fallen, what a beautiful array of art. Good luck Mona!
I love that wider bladed lighter hatchet. The shorter all purpose one you liked is awesome too. Will be interesting to hear the price points and practical testing results.
Wow those truly look like some quality axes. I look forward to your impressions. That last hatchet was my favorite. Nice wide blade on it.
I never knew there were so many different axes, they all look great and I am sure you will have a lot of fun trying them out
The main reason varnish is on wooden handles is to keep it from drying out so the handle head won't slide out of axe head. Great channel. Unless you are felling trees, I would go for one of the splitting axe and one of the hatchets for kindling and such.
I have a little tip for you,I welded a piece of angle iron to the bottom of my axe head to protect the handle.I also but a piece of peel and stick rubber behind the angle iron.Work's amazing my handle doesn't have a mark on it.Cuase you and I both know that sometimes we don't hit the sweat spot lol.My brother just used a peice of rebar work's almost as good,but mine will actually still cut on the angle iron.Not sure why but I love to cut wood.We have a 40 acre bush.I got enough wood for a life time.Cheer's
Beautiful axes. I am anxious to see the last splitting one you pulled out in action. My uncle had one that integrated two "swivelling ramps" that pushed the log apart as it wedged itself. Never seen that since...Well, have fun!Cheers
My favorite would be to get that entire box in the mail. I have an Italian sofa and it’s amazing. Not just because I’m half Italian lol. They make some great and quality stuff. Definitely worth the extra money for it. My friend, you’re a lucky man to receive all of that.
Mercy! I can't wait to see some videos of all of these in action. Keep a journal on these, Cody.
at 10:18, my still axe head is exactly the same, has the '1000' embossed into it at exact same location...hmm
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.
I used to collect axes and hatchets. I really appreciate the older ones that had home made handle's. I polished a couple and made custom handles. I also made my own sheaths for them.
My health got bad and I had to sale everything after I got on disability. I miss my Yukon hatchets the most
I want the splitting maul! That was beautiful. I currently use an USA made eight pound splitting maul. I love it, and I love that weight. However I want something forged and not cast. I'd be willing to pay $150+
I am yet to find a youtube channel with the same calm energy as yours. I love it
those are seem nice. congrats on possible having your own axe series. that is a huge accomplishment. can't wait to order one
I would love to see a wranglerstar edition of any of these axes! Definatly will buy one
dang!! i would probably buy the one utility one that you like!
That little American style hatchet looks to be my favorite of the bunch. They all look great. Thanks for sharing Cody!
Wait wait wait...a Wranglerstar official ax? Where do I sign?! I see all these comments about how much is affordable? I could justify spending $100ish on an ax of YOUR standards, YOUR design, with YOUR mark, being approved by YOU personally. I'm sure that it would be worth more than that , but knowing how expensive some "bushcraft" style axes are now, the $50 notion is just not realistic for a quality production. (Not that I wouldn't love it at $50) I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Great unboxing video.
I have been watching WranglerStar for a couple of years, but this is a video that never showed up in my feed. I am glad that I found it. I would have purchased the Prandi axes and hatchets to try them but I had never heard of them before and I am on a bit of a budget. I did buy a Husqvarna Hatchet with the head forged by Gransfors Bruk, and I like it, but I would not hesitate to try any Prandi for my next purchase.
the last small hatchet and the pack axe you like is a Hudson Bay Style axe head. I have a couple different Norland axe & hatchet with the same design. Their founder went over to Sweden to understand the making of them. They were more prominent on the East Coast. So many of us on the West Coast were not as familiar with them. I was lucky since a couple friends informed me on them.
I liked the broader splayed hatchet and the short handled general purpose and the felling axe. The narrow splitting axe looked interesting too - you'll have to let us know how they turn out in use :)
when I think "Wranglerstar" I think axe man. you do a lot of really great videos and i've watched many, but i must say when i have a question about an axe you r my go to guy. u not only unboxed a box of axes but you gave a lot of good info. on axes, what to look for in one, grain direction, handle length, weight, etc. I know nothing about axes, would love to know more, it seems like one of those things you have to have a feel for, like art, music. some can do it, but only a few are gifted. you r gifted. tools and carpentry have been a love of mine for many years, axes have really never been a fascination, but i am acquiring a yen to learn more about them. you give details that you don't find everywhere. i really love your axe videos. REALLY GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for letting us get to see them tonight, I know the upload must have taken some time if you did from home.
very interested in their product, and your review. I would be interested in seeing pricing, and a whole product line up. I really like the first smaller one you had mentioned to be like a boy scout axe. Would be great for carrying into the field while hunting, and would have been great to have in my scouting career!
You should do a reveiw of the chopper 1 splitting axe I've got a wooden handle one and a fibre core handle
The head has gears for driving wood apart
I love em
I would love to see the test done on different types of wood. I suspect that one that works best for a fir might not work as well with pther hardwoods.
It will be interesting to find out how well the heat treat was done and types of steel or steels were used. From what I seen and heard they seem like decent tools.
Can't wait to see you use these axes.
God Bless you and your family. ♥️🇺🇸💕
That splitting wedge is beautiful!!! I'd use it.
oh wow....Christmas for you all over!!! What a treat! I personally LOVE the hanging leather thong on each one, and what a beautiful display they will make hanging on the wall....even in that new area you did in the house! Personally, I would love the 2 littlest ones... and the smallest one looks as though you could make feather sticks with it if the edge is sharpened correctly. So happy for you...and hope you are able to put your name on them too. Thank you for sharing with us!
axe 2 and 3 is what we in sweden call a sledge axe. use it for chopping wood and fencing when putting posts in the ground etc.
I like the small flared axe!! And the splitting axe those r my two favorite
Thank you Wranglerstar I will never look at a axe the same. just learned so much about how to select a axe from you
We enjoy your channel very much.My wife enjoys Mrs Ws input and I enjoy the tool reviews and outdoor pursuits.Keep up the good work.Kind wishes from New Zealand.
Beautiful. I particularly like the full size felling axe.
Very promising!! Put me down for one Wranglerstar edition axe. A proper axe stamped with your makers mark. How about a double bit cruiser with a filson wool cruiser?
Maybe a special package deal with sharpening stones and a can of boiled linseed oil? Oh man! The possibilities are endless.
I'm looking forward to the Wranglerstar belt too.
I'd enjoy seeing a video demonstrating and reviewing the one you compared to your Gränsfors Bruk small forest axe.
rarely get excited watching someone open a box !!! you lucky dog !!
you are Blessed
I love that same axe you picked out, about 19-23 ". Beauty. Thanks a bunch.
Each axe is unique and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow! They better than I thought. I looked their website last night, but seeing them up close is impressive. Hurry and do a demo video we would love to see these things in action.
