STIHL 1926 Forestry Axe!! An Excellent Camp Axe.

The STIHL 1926 forestry axe is a fine piece of craftmanship and an excellent outdoor companion. Approx. 70cm long with a 1200g hand forged head and a beautiful mountain ash handle this STIHL axe bites deep when chopping. It split wood relatively well and is perfect for heavier bushcraft work. Embossed with its own individual production number and the STIHL logo nicely branded on the handle this makes a great addition to the Axe collection. The leather sheath it came with was serviceable but not great however I wont hold that against it. The STIHL 1926 forestry axe is a unique little beauty. Thanks for watching.

Interesting that Stihl used mountain ash for the handle instead the ubiquitous hickory. Cool video. Nice axe.

[@aussieaxedude154]

I thought so as well mate. I really like the feel of the mountain ash in the hand the grain is pretty cool as well. Thanks for watching dude🤙🤙

The hafts are ash, not mountain ash. They are two very distinctly different species of tree!

[@aussieaxedude154]

Thanks for watching mate however it specifically states in the Stihl catalogue that the hafts on this particular axe are made from mountain ash. Cheers.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@aussieaxedude154 okay, I totally missed that! I haven't ever seen a Mountain Ash of any size that you could make a haft out of the wood! I wonder if the translation was fudged??

[@aussieaxedude154]

No worries mate I know it also states the 1926 hatchet and cleaving axe handles are also made from mountain ash, while an axe like the AX10 for example it states ash for the handles.👍👍
