A lot of people don't understand what an axe is really capable of because they've used/seen others use axes that are just plain dull. Geometry is also super important when it comes to wood
Thank you mate, I got the Biber Canada, probably the best axe I ever had!! Happy holidays and Merry Christmas full of health for everybody and peace allover the world!!
Thank you Brother for your time..knowledge and dedication. As a young man I worked with my Father clearing land in North Carolina and Illinois. I'am a stone/brick mason by trade. But I have always loved the felling strategies and tools used. Your channel provides the education and techniques that I never learned...until now!! Your approach and experience is the best I have found...You are at the top of the game.. I can't say enough....Again thank you for the gift...Godspeed to you and your family...Much Respect from St Petersburg Florida...
Dammit Man....A 4 pound scalpel!!!...I know there's horsepower and a strategy involved... But those are amazingly sharp.. Much Respect from St Petersburg Florida...
When felling a tree with an axe you can hear the tree crackle, along with its surroundings. Its very important and great for safety, something that is difficult with the sound of a chainsaw.
Awesome brother 👍. Is that a felling axe or a liming axe? To be honest I don’t know the difference. Is it about length of the handle or weight of a axe head?
There isnt really a hard definitive difference but typically a good limbing axe is very thin and 1kg, felling axes are 1.5kg plus and have wedge geometry
I love a good sharp ax but for what a competition chopping ax used on that larger tree costs you can buy a decent chain saw. I've split my share of fire wood over the last 55 years glad I didn't have to cut it to length with an ax
@@martinerhard8447 yup cant post a single clip without getting dozens and dozens of comments about how i look or hes going to hit his foot etc. The community and level of discussion there by far is the worst on the internet.
@@benscottwoodchopper yup I have noticed in the bushcraft sub a big drop in quality of posts and comments over the years. By the way: I got myself a mueller biber and already thinned the handle. I am already quite happy with it but I think one could get even more performance out of the axe. If you wanted to use it to cut down lots and lots of young birch trees then how would you mod the head? just a Scandi with a microbevel?
The first one at the beginning of the video. If that one is less than $100 can you tell me where you got it from and what type of axe it is I would love to have it
@@benscottwoodchopper in your opinion do you think that is one of your most buff axe that you have. How mush does it way? What do you look for when buying an axe? The weight, shape, or size?
