I don't want to be a d1ck here, but do these guys do tree work? I mean I wouldn't choose any of those to work with, maybe as a toy to show off or if u was going into a war or something, but for tree work, not so much lol.

@erikhuisman2487 2 года назад

I'm sorry, but if someone pulls out a Spyderco, Toor, Hogue or CRKT hatchet I will automatically assume they have no idea how to use a hatchet

@charlessalmond7076 2 года назад

Thank you for saying it!

@nunninkav5307 2 года назад

The Toor and CRKT are tactical tools meant for breaching a car or building or splitting a bad guy down the middle. The Spyderco is a bushcraft tool for making a shelter. Not everything is a fireplace tool.

@HickLif3 2 года назад

CRKT has some other axes that are more traditional and look like they would be a better option, like the Birler and the Freyr. The Cimbri is more of a tomahawk than anything but wouldn't be a bad choice for space/weight saving on a hike and just make a quick handle when needed

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Council Woodcraft 24”. It’s the best axe I’ve ever used, and it’s 100% USA made from USA components. It uses better steel than many of these (5160), has a hardened pole, and a 90 degree edge on the top. Everyone should own one. The Council Woodcraft 19” and the 16” Camp Carver are amazing, as well.

Genuine question regarding the Jenny Wren. I know it's an RMJ Tactical design, and I've seen some other designs from RMJ moved over to CRKT (Origin fixed). So, did RMJ get bought out, or are they just selling some of their designs to gain a footing in the affordable knife/axe world?

@AGC828 Год назад

The Spyderco Hatchet Hawk. It DOES look like an axe you'd leave in your vehicle "just in-case". So many companies market their product e.g. flashlights for "glass breaking", pens, ...what they fail to tell the naive nerds watching that flashlight video is....what happens after you manage to shatter the driver's side window and you need to get the driver out? and you need to clear away the sharp glass shards still lodgeged in the door frame? A "tactical axe" would be perfect. I recall looking a "tactical axes" years ago and a few models even had a serrated edge I think behind the "chopping edge"? Looking for an axe like that. I have an old SOG tactical axe....point on one end resembling a flat head screw driver and the chopping side....handle has a grip that has grooves and ia meetal "ball...squarish" at the base for leverage.

@williamheinbuch 2 года назад

I have a small collection of axes from crkt (all of the woods line) and the more expensive kangee that is a “full tang” and its the same as the most expensive one you showed, it says in the box “not for throwing”, which sucks because that’s exactly why I bought them. I had a sog voodoo hawk years ago that i threw and broke. So when a hawk says “not for throwing” I don’t throw them and it pisses me off. Honestly a little disappointed you didn’t show any of the woods hawks, or any of the other crkt stuff to be honest.
