Here is my Bushcraft Axe - The TA Axe is designed and made in England. With a wood handle that has been made from the 100 year old Ash Tree in my woodland. A leather sheath that is from English leather made in Britain's last remaining Oak Bark Tannery that has been around since 1862. So much attention to detail has gone into this axe and I am incredibly proud to be able to now have these available. Thank you for watching.

Wow, they sold out in 3 hours! I’m truly blown away by this. Thank you so much. For those wondering, the next batch will be ready end of January and we are going to try and continue to have a batch of axes towards the end of each month. In order to find out exactly when they will go live on the site, sign up to the newsletter at www.taoutdoors.com/shop/taaxe and as soon as they are back in stock I will send out an email 👍🏻

Quick! I need you to grow another 100 year old Ash! I'll start on longevity drugs so I can get the batch of axes. I think my credit card will still be good in 2173.

If you watch he never changes his grip on the pencil and uses his fingers as a guide. The outline was already formed by a template so it follows it.

Congratulations in a beautiful custom hand axe and sheath. A lifetime tool. My bushcraft hand axe is a COUNCIL TOOL WOODCRAFT model. Made in USA. The poll is hardened to prevent mushrooming.

@JohnSmith-gs4lw 5 месяцев назад

One of your best videos ever. I’ve watched dozens of hours of axe making, but never seen the details of a tannery. Quite unbelievable to amount of work and time that goes into a simple piece of leather.

@WayneTheSeine 5 месяцев назад

What a great presentation...from beginning to end. The map, the journey past Stonehenge, and of course, the hundred year old stately ash. If I were younger, I would jump on one in a heartbeat. The price is very fair considering the workmanship in every aspect of production. The leather production alone, screams quality, historical significance, and perfection.

@switters8679 5 месяцев назад

My guy, you should be paid to shill this hard. In fact, I already didn't like the presentation, and you have just made it even worse with your fake bullshit. 'The leather production screams quality,' are you a leather worker or a historian, how do you know what perfection is? The logic and reasoning in your comment screams idiocy, and I AM an expert in that.

Way to go. Love your channel & so stoked I'll be able to have my very own TA Outdoors axe!

@d.Cog420 27 дней назад

Amazing vid. One thing you could add is the importance of straight grain and grain orientation for haft/handle strength. Your ash is incredibly straight and aligned correctly as can be seen at 7:40 so should last for ages (with oiling).. Good workmanship all round, congratulations.

That looks like some quality, and more importantly, traditional manufacturing, resulting in an exquisite tool that will probably last someone a lifetime. If I didn't have three other axes already, I'd be all over this, but I do, so...

@fearthehoneybadger 5 месяцев назад

It's a beauty. Looks like it has a substantial head. Too many small axes have heads that are too light. Defeats the purpose of an axe.

@USAMUSIC876 5 месяцев назад

Hi Mike! I'm 12 and we talked a while back. For the holidays I got Dave Canterbury's set of four Bushcraft books. And that got me thinking. Have you thought about writing a Bushcraft book? I think you're one of the best people for that. You are great at explaining things, and you're also good at demonstrating how to do things. Well, please consider this..... You did a great job with the axe! Thanks!😀

@Danimal843 5 месяцев назад

Dude... total respect from start to finish, %100 to you and everyone involved, truly mean that.... however...I hate to say it, but it's far from economical for the majority that would rather simply modify their techniques to use what they can afford Personally, even though being more well off than some, personally, I'd rather run through we'll say 3 "average" axes over 5+ years for still half the price... Respect the dedication and craft, but sadly in today's age, most average people would agree bc most can't afford it I hope you continue to do what you enjoy and spread the positive lifestyle that is being lost, but in reality, it's gotta be more commercially viable and accessible to the majority

I've watched a fair few smithing videos, and while this one is very good in that regard also, I especially appreciated seeing the leather making process, that I hadn't come across before. If only you'd have had a bit of footage of the leather working as well 😉 Great project, documentation and video, and the axe itself looks great as well! Will definitely be getting one before I move out of the UK, that level of craftsmanship, dedication and using all local talent and raw materials needs all possible support ❤
