Cheers Bushy, appreciate it mate. I have a few good axes in the works that I will be testing out directly once they are ready to go. It should make for some good footage
@@ronkay1573 thanks for commenting. It comes with a very nice 20deg chisel as the secondary bevel and small micro bevel. All I have done to maintain it is touch up the micro bevel with a stone every now then. I haven’t had to touch the secondary bevel yet. Thanks Liam
In conclusion. It comes with a very serviceable edge that is very effective and very durable and easy to maintain. Tuatahi have definitely hit the sweet spot with this axe
This fast growing Redgum is always a bit sticky with any axe. In general the Tuatahi camp axe is a very free axe and bounces right out of the cut on denser wood. Just a bit sticky in this particular tree but definitely does the job well. Thanks for commenting, it’s much appreciated
@@liamturner9568 no worries liam. Being a west aussie we dont have the wide variety of different timbers that the east coast does. But karri can be bloody hard and its well known amongst log choppers that jarrah is very hard as well.
I have heard that out west the timber is very tough. I have worked with Jarrah a bit and it is definitely very dense and hard. It really depends where it is grown. This particular tree was grown in a forest in the hills so it grew fast and tall. Redgum that is grown in the Mallee is a lot tougher and harder. Every tree is different and some axe work better in certain timber
The Tuatahi camp axe is a beast , Brades held up well , thanks for the video.
It definitely is, there was no way I was letting the Tuatahi get that close to the ground so the Brades took one for the team.
Enjoyable video mate!
The Tuatahi eats that log. And nice bucking technique. Looking good! Great stuff.
Thanks mate, appreciate it
