      I guess the crown is there for it being such a high quality axe it's used by the Swedish royalty, much like the reason the crown is on the highest quality British products and services (when it's awarded).

      If he is truly going to be shooting long distance, 800 to 1000 yards, and be accurate 6.5mm bullets are the way to go. 30cal bulletts just don't have the ballistic coeficiant to hang with the 6-6.5mm bullets. Besides he would need a long barrel to keep 30.06 or .308 supersonic over 800 yards even with a hot load.

    hi wranglerstar, i have been watching your videos for quite a few years now and you have taught me alot about life. i am only 15 years old and i absolutely love your videos. you have taught me about chainsaws, axes, winches, tractors, and most importantly how to be a strong God loving man. My father passed away when i was young and i havent had a role model. It is really inspiring to me to watch your videos because you are such a great role model. I live on a few hundred acres and i can relate so much do your videos. I would love to maybe talk sometime i would like to ask you somethings about life.

    Cody, thanks for sharing this. As all of your long time subscribers and audience know, this is your favorite axe. We know it just be the look of the handle. Heck, you inspired me to get my own, and I'm proud of it. When you shared this video and talkked about it, it felt like I was sitting in the workshop of an old friend, who was just talking about what he was doing with a tool we both knew well.

    Hi Cody. Love your content! If you still have you handle to that small forest axe by GBA, you can always use reuse that wood. A good and quick wood working project would be to make a knife handle with that wood. I hate throwing away things with so much character, so I thought you might feel the same way. Keep up the great work! Hi, to the rest of the family.

    @skartimusprime4779 7 років тому +1

    Appreciate the regular style title Cody, and the content as always. I know what you mean about the handle. I had to cut the handle off my grandfathers axe who had very recently passed away. I wanted to restore it so I would have a reminder of him (one of many actually). It wasn't my memories, but the spotted gum handle was clearly very, very well used over the years. It was a super dark brown and the shape was incredible. I did not enjoy removing it at all, felt very wrong.

It will allow us to know right away whether it will be multi-part or not which would be appealing to some, and I think it would help with the cataloging of your videos and allow people to find videos that are multi-part together easier...Just a thought, keep up the awesome work!

    Two things: First, I love your videos, they are pleasantly simple (I hope that made sense). Second, I had recommended the M24, but you won't go wrong with the Creedmore. Fine weapon system.

    If Cody would hang a hundred axes a month and make a video about it I'd still see every single one! He is so passionate and it shows, awesome! Thanks Cody.

    absolutely perfect timing! I recently bought a beautiful old Kelly Works axe, with a 26" handle and 3lb head. I was chopping firewood yesterday and split the handle. It looks to be the original handle, and I'm very sad to see it out of commission. hopefully ill be able to find a proper handle to re haft it. Thanks for the great content!
