1978, and I was Javelina hunting just north of the Ariz-Mexico border, east of Sasebe. I found a Pulaski tool with a cracked handle that had apparently been abandoned at some time by rangeland firefighters. There were some other tools as well and a old green canvas tool bag, falling apart with age and exposure to the elements. I took the Pulaski and a Plumb hewing hatchet back home. The Pulaski is marked FSS with the logo for Verona Tool on the right side and the numbers "68" on the left. So I'm guessing that would be the date of manufacture.
Thanks for the video, after all these years you have inspired me to get a new handle installed in the old war horse.
I love how you talk to the camera like you're talking to a friend. It's a lot easier to learn from folks who aren't rushing a script and are willing to share candid experience. Your videos helped me to realize that there are better axes than fiskars.

I appreciate all your videos. Every single one. Including the ones where you share views that conflict with my own. I appreciate you, and you sharing your knowledge experience, and a glimpse into your families life as you learn homesteading and practice loving God and your neighbours.
Thank you for what you do.
Will finally be ordering my Rogue Pulaski tomorrow...so excited.
Thankyou for a review done in everyday language. Here in Australia there is not much info on them, and as a rural firefighter (wildland in your speak) it is good to get such a review.
Thanks
As always, I appreciate your wisdom. Ty.
Enjoyed these two videos. A Great comparison. Thank you
Thank you for the very objective evaluation.
I really enjoyed these two videos. Thanks for sharing your opinion, and thanks for taking the time to do a field comparison.
I need one! This would be a great tool to have in your woodland rig. Thanks for the test.
Heading to rogue's website now. Thanks for all your knowledge and equally important to me, your opinion!
I'm glad you made another tool related video, they're my favorites. Though I haven't used both, I still prefer the traditional Pulaski, just because I am a man of tradition.
Great information for us non-smoke eaters. Might be a nice tool for campers, chopping wood and making a trench around a tent. Also a great emergency tool.
Lol..... I loved the "Bravo Sierra" comment! Great review. I know how hard it is to accept the new style over the old. Still miss the old Lifepak 10 cardiac monitors. Keep up the good work!
awesome video man , I hope you never stop doing what you're doing , you are definitely an inspiration!
thanks for your time in making this..comparison .. great job.
Great video! I could tell that it was tough to stay objective, but I think you did admirably.
We (UK) always like a good "fancy" !
Interesting 2 videos Mr WS. I'm glad to see that a new company is really putting forth the effort to manufacturer proper tools, tools to last, tools to do the job rather then making tools to get rich quick.
Looking forward to the next video(s) already.
Great videos. Surprised at the outcome choosing the rogue tools Pulaski, it does look nice tho especially the chisel ground edges. And the ringing of forged steel. Thanks for all the great videos.
I bought 3 of the different hoes at the beginning of summer just from your videos. I have been very pleased with them and have been recommending them to other homesteaders and gardeners that I know. Thanks Cody for putting this info out there for us. Nothing is more aggravating than find out you bought a piece of junk when it's time to get to work.
Great review Cody! I'd love to hear how it holds up over time but rogue definitely seems like a company committed to making great tools
Iron sharpens iron. Did some trail cutting and brush clearing a few weeks ago and man I wish I had had this tool. Definitely on the list. Thanks for sharing again.
I just love your info
on your lifestyle
It's hard to give up on an old tool that has always performed but when a tool performs as good as the Rouge it's also hard not to make a change. Thanks again for a great video. Rouge gets a look.
Wasn't surprised at all that you chose the rogue tool. Have a few of my own that I use to to build trail here in WV , way that the handle is designed I can dig for hours without my back getting sore.Easy to sharpen.Great service, good handmade tool at a great price what more could you ask for.. Since watching you in this video I think the next tool that I'm going to purchase will be the pulaski. Keep up the good work.
Next on my list! I like the steel collar. Great video!
Love your tool reviews. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!!!! :)
I build the North Country Trail in Wisconsin. I haven't used the rogue, but I think the Forest Service has one advantage versus the Rogue. The hoe end of the Forest Service Pulaski is more narrow. I'm think this would be better for the tight spaces when I am digging out little tree stumps. Our Chapter of the NCT also has mattocks with the wider grubbing blade. But I usually use the Forest Service Pulaski for grubbing out trees. For making fire lines, etc, the Rogue may be better, but I'm not doing that.
As always, a fair and thorough comparison/review. Maybe it's just because I actually worked as a wilderness ranger with a traditional pulaski as my right hand, but I'm gonna be staying stuck in my ways on this one. Actually I have a nice pulaski layin around I've been meanin to bring back to life... I think it's time :D
Well done sir!! I was surprised with the results. I would have laid money on the traditional Pulaski in the rocky ground. Very surprising!!
Now I have to go check out Rogue tools. Glad I saw this now instead of Spring. It's tool time for me and my wife. About 3 acres to clear starting in the Spring, and trails to maintain on 75. I've never heard of Rogue before now. Thanks for the review. It is strange to trust a man I have never met. But I trust you, Brotherman. Best to you and yours.
You do great work bud! I always cant wait for the next video.
great video, great evaluation, great commentary !
I always appreciate your efforts in making content filled videos. I don't always comment -- but I do always thumbs them up. :0)
Thanks for all you do.
Love it, great review, Cody! I'm going to get one someday soon.
great work! Maybe one day you'll finish that timber framed cabin!
I find your channel interesting as I am a huge fan of tools (functional tools). keep it up!
As the weather cools up north it is just now getting time to get back into the woods here in Florida. It's the cooler months here when we can work on the trails without overheating. I get to finish my barn this year and install my permanent diesel generator. We are 100% off grid. We are not poor, We do work until we are broke, Then we do more next cool season. Im ready and cant wait to get back at it.
It's getting really close to winter where I live! :D (Sweden)
Tom must have been those potato vines. They are a pain...
Love the tool videos. Thanks.
Thank You for this test.
These two videos were great. I like how you placed the Rogue as the second tool used so your (fresh) strength would not be a factor but fatigue might have been. That is integrity! My only question is, how easy would it be to replace the handle in the field?
It's nice to here some things currently made are still quality.
Thank you for your hard work. This is quality entertainment.
Bravo Sierra! Love it.
EXCELLENT COMPARISON
an incredible man..... I hope I get to meet him one day
I'm a fan now, too! Right now I have a Japanese Pulaski style axe. It might have even been called a mattock. It's been used and abused and never sharpened. I've decided that after I take the hour to hour and a half amount of time to file out the gouges and then hone it with a Lansky, I'll have a new appreciation for the tool. Only after that point will I get the "beast" (Rogue 55HX). I'm afraid that if I got the new, better tool without a full appreciation for taking care of it, the new one would just end up like the old one. That's not going to happen. Thanks, Cody. Every time I see you with a tool that you keep sharpened, it makes me want to be the same way towards mine.
By the way, the same goes for getting my new Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe. I have an old double-bit axe that was never sharpened either. I'm going to sharpen that one as well, using your same technique. I'm even going to send you a before and after shot of it with maybe a 10 second video of it cutting a piece of paper like yours do. After the agonizing amount of time it's going to take to get it back to a good edge I'll then feel like I would properly take care of a new one.
I've always enjoyed these end screens, a bit of a closer to the video. I'm missing them in the new videos.
I fell in love with my 70HR54 hoe/rake. I was digging a few swales and was using it to shape the ditch after the bucket from the excavator cut out the main swale. I would go behind him to clean up. Having rake on one side for rocks and hoe on the other for dirt made things go so much faster.
Thanks for the great reviews! I think another great video would be if you went to visit Rogue in Missouri and share it with everyone.
I ordered this before I watched part 2. It was mainly on my faith that you would only endorse a quality product. But what really sealed the deal for me was how nice Phyllis was when I called her on the phone. You could tell she was a wonderful lady and very concerned about her customers. Just goes to show that it's more than just the product, it's the service behind it too.
Nice review... I have a Rogue garden hoe and really like it... Nice long handle and very sharp. Seems like a good quality tool. Also made in America!
This is the best tool test I have seen on youtube. Very thorough and detailed. Thanks WS! The Rogue looks great, and I would love to own one, but there's something about traditional tools that make work very enjoyable for me. But, when it comes to firefighting, I understand why it is important to have the most functional tool possible.
Any new info on the Colorado trip? I would love to meet you and other CO subscribers!
Been using Rogue Hoe tools for a couple of years now for trail construction/maint. The Mcleod style 70 HR abd 80R are great for drainage and excavation of tread. I haven't managed to break any yet, they hold an edge well, and the quality and design is excellent. Compared to what's available out there now unless you can find the old tools and refurbish them you're stuck with cheap crap made in China. The Rogue Hoe changed all that, I plan on adding their pulaski and "no-break" rake soon.
Thoughtful review, thanks.
Not sure why this popped up on my You Tube page but I am a solid believer in Rogue tools (70H!); your story about the Okies and their hoes was what led me to hit the subscribe button!
Great video!! I do a bit of trail maintenance and am slowly building my cache of tools. Would recommend the Rogue for working on the Pacific Crest Trail?
Good simple testing methods. The results support your conclusion. I'd still prefer the 1911, but I don't use one I just like the style.
Thanks
I generally prefer the lighter more nimble feeling tool that makes the use easy, so long as it is still suited for the work. But when I heard that beautiful Ting from the Rogue Pulaski I knew which one would keep a smile on my face through a days worth of work.
Totally agree with you. But there is something about having those old tools in my hands that I can't get enough of.
I love your tool videos
I would like to see you do a review of the P2 Ultimate Pulaski and the J.R. Tools Pulaski. Keep up the great videos!!!! Thanks!!!
Keep up the good work.
Hey Wranglerstar... One thing I've noticed is that in a long day of using both, the FSS is a little slower, but doesn't drop in performance as fast... It also penetrates a little deeper, but that might be my posture... The Rogue seems to work better than the FSS for short jobs, like half day, but I find that the FSS can do more in a full day just because of the edge retention... It depends on the soil a lot though... The soil here is soft, so the FSS tends to pull much more than the width of its hoe, while the rogue goes in and is difficult to pull out, I guess because of the easier penetration and the increased volume of dirt from the wider surface area
Another benefit I see with the Rogue Tool was the way it was mounted to the handle. Not only for the support of the head but also how it would protect the handle from an over strike.
Great Vid!
I'd still get the FSS, the nostalgia....
agreed im an FSS guy, i used to swing that thing like an animal in my 20s. i enjoyed breaking out the file in down time very relaxing. Although that Rogue looks a lot more comfortable to sit on.
I was surprised you went new school, figured you for the old school tool. Well whatever works for you is the best tool for the job.
I believe a lot of the advantage of the Rogue comes from the longer handle... A couple of extra inches gives a lot of extra punch with each swing... Grtz from Belgium!
When I took Fire crews out from the prison in Tennessee they used a rack of sorts, It looked very similar to an old time cycle bar mower blade. about 10 or 12 inches wide. We also took a chainsaw along.
Thanks for your verdict on this. I have been looking at rogue tools a lot, particularly hoes. Seems I am coming that much closer to pulling the trigger.
Great series of vids loved them both. Lots of good information will consider your opinion if I am ever in the market for one. Thank you for your effort
Great work on video mate greetings from spain
The FSS is definitely a better looking tool. Love the old school look. I'd probably take the Rogue out too only to keep the FSS from being nicked up. Nice videos!
I am surprised! On to the new.
I was surprised to hear you say Rouge's version was better, especially knowing how much you like the Pulaski, I have considered getting a few tools from them, maybe its time to give them a try.
My dad had one of these rogue acts and he worked on the CCC’s in California.... 🇵🇱🛶🌈👩🍳🇺🇸
I like the fss but the rogue is the way to go. Love the videos cody good job.
It's great to see them selling their tools on amazon, with prime shipping nonetheless.
A big advantage for tall guys as yourself would be the longer handle on the Rough, not needing to bend over as far. The choice of 52" or 48" handle when ordering one is a plus. Thanks again for the thorough review!
The weld is awe inspring for a tool in 2014!
No little tac weld here!
Maybe a few Rogue's in my future!
Great videos. I enjoy them immensely. One thing about the Rogue though. Is that a long crack I see in the chopping blade?
I'll push for my department to replace our "pulaskis" (which work horribly) with rouge :) thanks for turning me onto them +Wranglerstar
December is tool mantinence month and I'll be using a lot of your techniques for teaching our members to maintain our hand tools
Thanks for another great video. Keep up withe the fire vid's, they are really enjoyable.

What's your recommended or favorite length handle for a Pulaski/Rogue?
Thank you for the video interesting and informative, if i may offer one suggestion as you find fine tools of quality buy extras for you sons and daughters. All to often companies new and improve there products making them useless or get bought out and there name put of poor quality tools. My father did this for me, most of my hand tools are from between the 1940's and 1960's, most where second hand because we did not have the money for new, I still use them to this day. I have many fond memories of working with my father being taught to use my own tools to be honest they are my most treasured memories of my father. Take care God bless.
I'll have to look into this company. you have mentioned them many times..... I still want the traditional first though....
thank you
I live in the UK.
Just started watching your videos.
I like your style.
I share your faith in Jesus.
And you talk about things I'm interested in.
Go bless you and your family :)
Missed the "d" out.
God bless you all :)
Great test, how does the price of each compare?
thankyou. i've been waiting for this video. now i've just gotta find a dealer in australia. ps. are you going to review the other rogue tools again?
Any consideration for long term use ? The FSS is one piece forged steel compared to three piece welded on the Rogue
Whats your perspective on a carpenters axe style axe for general purpose? I has a husky that always comes with me when camping, and is pretty much my primary bush tool, just curious what you thought about that axe head style
Loved the series , I was surprised that the rogue actually won. I would have thought that the Pulaski, would have keep up with design changes. Oh well, you snooze you lose.
How is the head on the rogue pulaski mounted to the handle?
Loved the video, keep up the excellent work!

Hey Cody you know another improvement to the pulaski and rogues version would be if they would make it with sharpened teeth and sharpened it in between the teeth on the hoe end. Imagine how much more ripping force you would have with less edge damage. Also on the hoe end if they would put a wedge blade against where the handle mounts then when you clearing brush and roots it would cut through without getting hung up. Just some ideas. Keep up the great work.
I miss this style of videos
I have 2 of their tools, a 70 hoe which is their heavy corn hoe, and the forest service rake. They are both stone cold, serious, bullet proof tools! I did a landscape job last week and brought the hoe and rake to the job to prepare the flower beds. My helper used the hoe and raved about its "Ease of Use and effectiveness". I agree the tools are largely superior to what is currently available. Phyllis better have a good supply of Pulaski Axes on hand as I'm betting she will be getting quite a few orders over the next week. In my opinion, good tools are a gift you give yourself! Thanks and God Bless.
Cody, will you be starting the timber framing project back this year or is that something that will wait for spring?
Enjoyed the tool comparison, always nice to see real world usage in testing.
can you please give me a link to the rogue pulaski store... how do you buy it?
thanks
