hatchet

Hi all. I’m looking for a Gransfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet, but not the kind that is currently on sale. I’m looking for the one that they used to make, before they changed the handle shape. It used to be a smaller version of the Small Forest Axe, but about 15 years ago (i think) they changed it...

Hi everyone! I'm interested in buying a rather large knife (Brusletto Villmann).. I actually own the smaller version of this knife (Villgutten) which I really like, however, there seems to be varied opinions of the usefulness of these types of knives in the northern hemisphere, has anyone had...

I have for sale a handmade African axe/hatchet. I bought it on my travels in Kenya many years ago. I don’t know a great deal about it other than it seems to have an animal bone shaft and a sheet metal head attached with copper wire. It’s very primitive in design and I would describe it as more...

Wenger Wiglaf Hatchet/Tomahawk by American ABS Journeyman Smith Dave Wenger. This is a lovely little hatchet but I just don’t use it. I put my name down last year for a run of these and his books are currently closed to orders. They are made in small numbers and Dave also produces small runs...

I've been looking around trying to find out if it's a good idea to use Olive oil on my axe handle. I've been using it to oil knives and other tools for years, but what about on wood? I seem to get mixed opinions where ever I look. What oil do you use on your axe handle? Or do you even oil...

This advice is not intended for the tenderfoot, for he should never attempt to "rough it," and that is just what it means to "travel light," for when making long journeys over land, carrying the camping outfit and food on one's back, one must leave behind all of those little articles which are...

As stated this is a brand spanking new Gransfors Bruks wildlife hatchet, sadly I never got the chance to put it to any use but I was overwhelmed by the craftsmanship of the axe itself when I first got it. Please feel free to PM me with any questions about the axe! Price: £50 + £5 postage

Hi All Stumbled across this vid on youtube. I cannot understand French, but as they say a picture tells thousands words. My question is, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwUWuyuRgRk 1) Is the Mora Pathfinder a weak knife? 2) Is it OK to use a knife for battening? Maybe a hatchet or small axe...

I was searching for a good hatchet that would fit my needs (chopping and carving) when I started thinking that maybe a hatchet is not the best choice for me. There are other tools, like a machete or a parang, that may be a better option. So, here is my question: when would you choose a...

*UPDATED* 15 Sep! I was thinking about this the other night after a day out in an orchard... Should I buy a new axe or just use the old ones I have laying around? Seeing all the lovely shaped and styled axes on the market and looking at my old and quite tatty axes I was considering buying a...

This is yet another low cost axe that I have been waiting to review for a while. It seems to be available at every Home Depot that I’ve seen, so I thought people might want to see something about it. This hatchet exemplifies what people mean when they say “hardware store axe”...

One of the most successful axes in bushcraft has become the Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe. One of the reasons for its success is that is it light weight (1.5lb head) and relatively short (20 inch handle), making it easy to carry in a ruck sack. For some reason however, there are very few...
