    This is why our development strategy is to focus on quality and technology development.
    This Axe (or Taiwan) is like a quiet girl. (❛◡❛✿)
    Although the first impression is ordinary and often overlooked,
    you will find her gentle, persistent and reliable after getting acquainted.

    I like holding it.
    I like swinging with it.

    Just ran across this video (4/9/2020). The memory this brought back was helping my grandfather sharpen his axe on whetstone (wetstone?) wheel as I turned the wheel and he ran the axe back & forth to sharpen it. Man. That memory has to be nearly 70 years old, yet the colors & sounds are as clear today as they were then. Thank you

    I bought the Trail Boss axe after watching this something like 5 years ago… been swinging it ever since - split wood with it today in fact which brought me back here. I don’t have anywhere near the Gransfors Bruk collection you do, but the mistakes/skills I learned swinging and caring for the Cold Steel have allowed me take better care of my properly nice axes. And with quality in mind, I take care of all my handles and store the axes in the same place through the winter and the Trail Boss is still rock solid whereas I’ve had 2 high end axes get loose. In all, I think this is one of your best recommendations from a shear value standpoint - even at todays price of $29

      @deathangellink 6 років тому +4

      i know, but i believe that tramontina use 1045 or 1055 for their machete . and any blade will either chip or roll the edge on a rock
      test tramontina yourself, put a decent edge on one and go beat the sh*t of it. for the price you can't go wrong, SPECIALLY the camp knife with the 12 inch blade. personally i prefer to add some hockey stick on the handle for better grip, but it maybe because i am Canadian
      ho you can also try cold steel, a little bit more expensive but still affordable and the kraton handle will stick to your hand and is decently comfortable.

    • @caracaes
      @caracaes 6 років тому +11

      I'm from Brazil, and people here think Tramontina's machetes are too flexible, so they kinda "sing" if you don't hit with good edge alignment. The preferred brands here are Matão and Collins (the old ones, with wooden handles). But I think Matão only supplies locally, which are sturdier.
      I personally like tramontinas because they come with a good grind. I have one Matão and I had to put a bevel in it myself. Plus, Tramontinas are very cheap.
      Anyway, whatever you do, just DON'T buy a machete with a plastic handle. Wood handle or nothing.

It was like $19 and I don't think you can possibly break the darn thing under any normal use. Ended up ordering 2 more incase they ever stop making them again like they did a few years ago.

      You're thinking of 15 years ago. They've really amped up the quality control and materials. They still have some low priced stuff, but they also have a large percentage of really great blades made with steels like 52100, CTS-XHP and BD1, CPM-3V, and CPM-S35VN, not to mention some really excellent DSC Damascus. The days of hit or miss AUS-8 and VG-1 are pretty much gone.

    This video answered a question I had that I was going to ask about servicing your tools while in the field. Using just a file and that cool little sharpening stone which would be light enough to pack you were able to put a decent edge on that axe. I am for sure going to for sure purchase that file and stone. I would assume you could do the same for a knife as well if you needed to. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in these videos.

    I bought this axe last year. I've used it to do everything around the homestead that an axe can do even if a different style would have been better...just to see if it could. My particular axe has held up well. The handle is in good condition. It splits small rounds acceptably but attention needs to be paid due to the head thickness being thinner than the handle. It's on the light side for true "forestry" tasks and is not suitable for modern logging except for limbing. It can be made razor sharp and holds an edge decently. It can be used for rough shaping and carving. I'd class it as a good camp axe for hikers and a good "truck tool". It's a nimble tool and in a pinch it'll get the job done. Mine was well worth the money spent.

    All the sharpening and polishing you do on blades reminds me of the constant polishing of boots in boot camp. Cheers for that!
