FlorinU Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Great video! I also spend a lot of time in the wild and knife and axe are always with me. I use a Fiskars short axe which is very light and durable but I'd like to give that Gransfors a try. Thanks for your efforts!

Jul 26, 2008 - i like the Gerber axe/hatchet

lordchunkyfat Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - the gerber (fiskars0 are great for the money. but nothing beats a good grans. with proper love they take a serious edge and hold it for a long time. Weterling are alos a good handmade. His sharpening tips are decent but very lacking.

Jul 26, 2008 - From what I've learned and been told, an axe is the #1 tool you require in the bush.

Headcrabb Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Machetes, Kukris are good aswell

Jul 26, 2008 - These guys are good you can find them at the wilderness gathering if your interested in bushcraft i've got the same axe although mine was made by Mattias Mattsson there great cos they feel so personal unlike alot of production ones

PaulyCracker Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I agree, very personal. Mine is Kjell-Ake Sjölund. I've got #430 Scan. Forest Axe.

PaulyCracker Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I suggest giving it a try. Nothing like something that is handmade. It's like comparing a BB gun to a real fine made rifle.

Jul 26, 2008 - If you get a tracker knife, there is everything in one.

guiltybystander77 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - actually a tracker knife has a blade shape that is good for skinning, but very awkward to chop with. its also too small to get much force. don't waste the money, get yourself a 15 dollar kukri and a 50 dollar ka-bar.much better than a 300 dollar tracker.

Jarda44 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Actually, the original Dave Beck costs over a thousand.

Kurby1400 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - their talking about the tom brown tracker i believe which is made by TOPS which cost 300 or so odd dollars

Jul 26, 2008 - another great video by andrew price if anyone is looking for a good axe go on ebay and put in wilkinson sword axe it's the same as a gerber but half the price

shillelaghslaw Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - is that the wildlife hatchet? or is it maybe the small forest ax? My girlfriend wants to buy me one for my birthday and she wants to know which one to get, i like that one because of its size, i don't want one to small but i want to be able to carry it with me comfortably. thanks!

shillelaghslaw Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i can tell now, that is the wildlife hatchet. the same one im looking at.

xHilltopWolfx Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Gransfors Bruks Small forest axe.

shillelaghslaw Says:
