Hi Steve, hope you’re good chap, what a video, awesome axe too, super razor sharp shame about the gloves, !!!!! Savage, love the shelter too, take it steady chap 🎉🎉🎉
Braw axe. I'd be in tears, though, if that was my glove! Although my pals and I grew up in a small town, we were surrounded by large woods, streams, and gullies. Blessed with this as our playground, we were never home. None of us had axes, but we had "borrowed" saws from our sheds and made "dens" like your lean to. They were everywhere. Depending upon where in the woods you went, you'd find other lads' dens. It's a good thing we never got our hands on axes back then as things could get quite "tribal".
Liam my top man. It takes me back too! I loved den building when I was younger. We were never lucky enough to have saws or axes though! We used to play escape and capture and when you caught someone you would keep them in your den or literally hours on end against their will! Looking that was kid nap! Oh bugger! 😂
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors can’t remember what model but I see one for £35 so you might see one on my channel one day 😂😂 you should show us your superior sharpening skills one day sir
Another cracking informative video Ste and yup that axe is sharp 👌 I always use the fiskers one if I have young ones with me they ain't getting to Bury my gransfors bruks into a stone 😊
Oh nO! And we were just talking about how much you liked those gloves! Bugger indeed. Fiskars axes are very good for the money and certainly look stylish. I'm having fun at the mo. trying a one-tool option with my Condor Cambodian small machete (which I can thoroughly recommend - sharp as a sharp thing). Also FYI I bought one of those mini cordless chainsaws, excellent for larger stuff although it did get hung up a couple of times, and not much good for small branches as it tends to tear the wood at the exit point. Take care, Eddie.
Very nice! It's good to challenge yourself every now and then isn't it. I'll be honest that's one tool I don't have in my kit! A machete or a parang. Condor do make good knives at decent prices versus quality so in guessing the machete is no different. Is it high carbon steel? The gloves are fine now, I have repaired them and you would hardly notice the cut, it just looks like part of the glove now. Thanks for dropping in Edwin m8 always a damn pleasure! Take care.
The machete is 1075 with a micarta slab handle, very comfy and easy to keep sharp. I've been using it with a work party on the nearby Common, which hasn't been touched since about WW2 or something. Very useful for firewood, some really beautiful old Oaks, loads of wildlife. I keep finding steel corkscrew picket fence stakes so there was probly a gun emplacement or similar.@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors
@@edwinmason123 That's awesome I do love the telly tale signs of historic relics. I have had a look at the machete bud. Looks like it will do the business! The bull nose sets it off!
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors Oh that's really very kind of you - thank you! Been a bit fed up with things lately, it sometime happens plus some bugger nicked my laptop. Still, got a replacement now and I'm trying to catch up with everything. I really appreciate you getting in touch, thank you m8!
That’s a lovely axe mate!!! I have the Fiskars X17 Splitting Axe with the wedge built into the head and it works beautifully for processing larger pieces of wood into kindling. It’s incredibly sharp as well and that must’ve been a little heartbreaking to put a slice in your brand new gloves 😔.
Hey Dad 😁 😂 yeah I think I have seen that. Is that the one wranglerstar wife knocked her teeth out with!? Needless to say he isn't a fan of them anymore! The steel is capable of an incredibly sharp edge, not great at retaining it for any length of time though unfortunately. Easy to put back on though. The gloves have been christened now, so I'm not prissy about them 😂 they have repaired quite well. Thanks for dropping in buddy. Take it easy.
Thank you for your time and positive comment bud. I have actually just picked up a recycled leather mask for it from Fiskars. Although thinking about it a kydex would nicely accent the fibre comp. Take it easy.
Now then ste 👍 hope all's well , what a fffing bugger with the gloves 🙈 thee axe does cut well enough ( is it a convex grind ) or just a degree angled grind , lovely little shelter ( dont think I'd fit in ) 🫢 i can still hear your screams 👊 chin up ste 🍻
Hey Martin always a pleasure to hear from you buddy. The bit is full scandi surprisingly enough! It is RAZOR sharp though! Gloves are fixed, so I'm happy now 😂 I think I'm going to do an over night in the shelter to celebrate the 1500 milestone! Thanks for dropping in bud. Take it easy.
Hey there, honestly, I find it very comfortable. It fits me perfectly. There aren't really any significant adjustments apart from the lower lumbar webbing. Have you tried adjusting that? Thanks for dropping in. Take it easy.
Hi Ste, I bought the X10 several years ago to use around the house property. I like this new one, very nice. It would be much better with the leather mask you mentioned that is available. Wonder if they're available here in the U.S. ? I'll have to look. Nice job on the shelter.👍🏻🪓
Hey Jeff always a pleasure to hear from you m8. I gifted my X10 to my Mrs dad, he still has it after all this time! It was a good axe! It was much better the the estwing sportsman hatchet I picked up! I sold the estwing on early doors. My leather sheath has been lost in the post I think! 😂 Still waiting on it. Thanks for dropping in buddy. Take it easy.
Convex the edge to avoid rolling. The N10 is like the N7, X7 and other hatchets from Fiskars meant for splitting - therefore the heavier head and the head geometry. Don´t get me wrong . I have a N7 - nice little splitter. To make the N10 work in other fields (more or less proper) you need to make the scandi grind steeper. - what you did but now your edge is rolling.
Hey there thanks for stopping by. To be fair I only removed the coating from the bit, I haven't modified the grind in anyway. I suppose a scandivex profile would eliminate rolling of the edge, but it's not a massive issue for me as I always have the gear on me or in my kit to put the edge right. It's a nice functional axe at the right price so a bit of maintenance every now and then I'll take on the chin 😂 Thanks for the comment. Take it easy.
The price of having a razor sharp axe, you can easily cut your brand new pair of gloves, or lose an appendage!! Haha Other than that, a great and durable axe!! Very handy

Hey my good man Mark. How are you buddy? Yeah was gutted, but it's all fixed up now "tis but a scratch!" 😂 Cheers for stopping by bud. Take care.

I had my eyes on that one a while ago. The brand new gloves, Ste? Come on, man!!! Good overview of the axe. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Cheers buddy. I know at least I was wearing them though! Better the gloves than my hand right! 😂
That’s a nice axe geezer ..good video..
I like the shelter build as well sir
Looking forward to seeing you build some more 💪
Cheers bud. It's definitely worth thinking about for the price. Should last a good while too.

At least it was your glove and not your hand that was cut mate. Be safe and be lucky.
Always a pleasure to hear from you Wol my good friend 🙂 yeah lucky really. I can't believe how lightly I touched it 😂 take it easy m8.

Awesome review buddy nice axe is that mate definatly considering grabbing one 🙂 nice little shelter too bud 🙂..catch you on the next one mate
It's a quality tool for not a lot of money! Well worth considering if you are in the market for a small axe/hatchet.
Solid review. Very nice axe, worthy of a nice kydex sheath I think.
Thank you for your time and positive comment bud. I have actually just picked up a recycled leather mask for it from Fiskars. Although thinking about it a kydex would nicely accent the fibre comp. Take it easy.
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors No problem friend 👍🏻
Great job on the video bud

Great quality video nice styling performer axe enjoyed the demo shelter. Nice rooftop. Take care.

Rough up around the slice in the glove with sandpaper a little and ShoeGoo it
Thanks for stopping by and leaving the tip! I have actually just repaired the slice and now it looks like a scratch! I'm much happier about it now 😂
Hey, I also have the saddle sack from savotta. Do you like it? I don't. Or do you know how to adjust it properly? It kills my back.
Hey there, honestly, I find it very comfortable. It fits me perfectly. There aren't really any significant adjustments apart from the lower lumbar webbing. Have you tried adjusting that? Thanks for dropping in. Take it easy.

Agreed 😂

I meant to do what I did on both occasions! 😂
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors Like one of those house parties that go horribly wrong 😂😂😂 but we knew you had it all under control 🫣👌😂
