I just bought the 19” model as my first premium axe and I’m stoked! It comes in Friday and I can’t wait. We do a lot of trapping and camping so I went with the shorter version.
You loose about a inch when you hang an axe. Thats why it says hung on a 24 in handle.
That's what she said 🤣
I have owned and used two of these axes for about 4 or 5 years now. Love them.
I love my 19" Wood Craft pack axe. Splits small logs very well. I'll use it for canoe and car camping.
Perfect
can you split bigger logs with it?
Mine measures out to 23 3/4 inches. I think the 24inch advertised length is probably the handle before they hang the head and trim the excess.
Hand forged? On their homepage it says "All Council axe heads are drop forged from high quality tool steel. The forging is then processed in an abrasive robotic work cell where the trim lines are removed, the shape refined and the cutting edges are ground, which yields highly consistent heads."
I bought a CTV boys axe and found that i love Council tool. I'll definitely be picking up one of these pack axes
Eugene, another great video! This will be my next axe. Council Tool makes wonderful axes and I can't wait to add this to my collection(once it has been adorned with an ROG Throat Guard of course!) Bill Doyle
I been going crazy weekend thinking a bout the first pack axe ill
buy. this video and your time is very much appreciated!! great job
I just bought my first pack axe
Thanks brother!
I'm coming off a crappy Gerber axe. I've done a lot of research, and this appears to be a logical next step for me. I'm not about to drop 150+ dollars on an axe I'll use 5 times a year - only one of those times being a full on wilderness excursion.
Just picked up the 19" for $65 new. Perfect size for hiking in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
Where did you get it for that price?
You picked it up used from someone who was hurting for money or didn't know what they had for 65 bucks 👍💯
Wow- I just realized I ordered 3 neck protectors from you guys for my axes. I didn't catch on until I saw the logo on the holster. Love them by the way. I'll have to go on and look at your masks as well. Great vid!!
Axe handle measurements are based on the original length of the handle before they are fitted and trimmed. 👍
I would like an axing in Canley, Coventry, UK with one of these. Looks like a great tool. Good video and firesteel demo. Top job!
The length of the axe is the length of the handle before hafting. They trim the head afterwards.
Still, it is a bit misleading, I don't know why they measure that way. It reminds me of hard drive being classed in GB but then the GB is described as the mathematical 1000³ bytes instead of the computer 1024³ bytes.
Wonderful review! Looks to be my kind of axe.
That 19 inch is slick
I’m liking it!
Hope to see you guys make some leather sheath for tomahawk and review.
Great review Thanks.
nice axes and an awesome review ...thanks!
+REZA ETEMAD you're welcome!
Well done! Thank you for sharing...
The only thing with the axe that I don’t love is the Rockwell hardness is low 50s and for hardness Ik knives better than axes but I still like my tools to be higher in the 50s so they maintain edge longer and are easier to keep razor sharp I also think the handle on the longer more pack axe size may just be a little to long for a good bushcraft axe I think the 20-21 inch range might be a little better id have to use it to really know but yeah I also tend to like shorter handled bigger axe head axes like the German ones so it’s also a preference thing for me
With a 5160 steel with added chromium, heat treated at both the front and back of the head, you won’t have any issue with edge retention at that Rockwell. Heavy cutting tools like axes are typically hardened at a lower Rockwell hardness for toughness because they have so much more metal behind the edge than a knife. CT’s 5160 steel on this axe is one of, if not “the” best performing in its class.
Can someone provide me the website here please. I am interested in in the axe holster and shealth. Thankyou in advance.
Nice review! Thank you!👍
What about this same (! 19 or 24" version) handle but onto the long version CT Camp Carver (insteat of its 20 " strait handle). Would it not render the pack obsolete?
Wow your dad is an artist that is a lot better then the one that came w it!
Does the 24inch handle axe hang well from your belt loop sheath or is it too long
the length is the handle before they hang the head and trim the excess
have you used the hults Bruk line of axes. they don't seem to get much air time with bushcraft channels
Agreed. My HB Akka is amazing
Have you reviewed the camp carver offering from council tool?
Good grain orientation? The butt of the handle shows it is or nearly is a 45 degree grain orientation to the head. As far as I'm concerned that's neither good nor ideal & closing in on just ok to poor IMHO. I expect a parallel to the head grain orientation on an axe in this price range. Not saying it's not a nice axe head or council is a bad co., but C'MON MAAAN! If you wanna claim this is a top tier axe you've got to show that in the finished work. Seems like this is becoming more & more acceptable today, in handles, in all price ranges as I see reviews complaining of this from Gränsfors Bruk on down the line.
tank0211 a 45 degree is perfectly fine actually. I’ve seen a lot of granfurs brok axe with 45 degree grain.
a lot of nonsense going around re the grain angle. this is a myth. the handle on the axe he showed is totally fine. most just need to learn to use the axe properly, to avoid damaging the handle. not rely on some magikk grain or leather condoms around the poll.
Hello. I’m trying to put together a set of axe/hatchet. I would like to be of the best quality and also cover anything from utility, hunting, camping, bushcraft and big log splitting.
What axes would you recommend to make a set and possibly pass it on to my children one day.
Thank you
Praise God.. yes nice :
Thanks you. I’ve been trying to find an axe that is grandfors bruk since I dislike the company from a moral stand point. If I’m going to support someone who dislikes my way of life I’d atleast like it to be made in America lol.
Hint: Bury the blade into the stump, set up your tinder... and then use your striker.
will the axe fit into the belt loop with the leather guard that you also make?
Yes
I so want the 19" version I love that size I have 2 boys axes but I want one of those maybe 1 day when I can afford it I'll get 1 til then I'm just wishing
Good video.
They should offer the smaller 16'' Woodcraft head on the 19'' handle.
How good is the steel & what's your opinion of how well the edge holds up? Another reviewer I saw stated that the CT pack axe steel was much better than that of Gransfors & similar Swedish axes because the CT pack axe's edge would "roll" but wouldn't "chip". And, that reviewer was referring to its factory "edge" & using it to process wood as designed & intended. Axe makers years ago strived to produce an axe with an edge that would neither roll or chip. If the steel was soft enough to roll, or hard enough to chip, it was considered poor quality. It's an interesting axe, but for me, especially with the factory profile & sharpening, if the edge "rolls" from using it for its intended purpose, I would think it was poor quality. If the axe's steel is soft enough for the edge to "roll", as the other reviewer stated, & that makes it a top quality axe, then there's alot of cheap imports that have edges that will "roll" under there intended use also & they're definitely not top quality.
Hard to bet a Tuatahi or a Gransfor Bruks.
Did they change design cause I have seen a pinned head
Liled and subd great video and nice leatherwork!
what size is your holster?
If I may ask where did you purchase the 23 inch woodcraft axe?
Available on Amazon - in the description.
Great video ugean
+David Stewart thank you
What size holster (s,m,l) fits this axe? Thank you
Large
The goofy and esthetically unpleasing phantom bevels don’t seem to be doing anything for the axe not to get stuck in the wood! Thanks for the video Eugene.
I think that’s an opinion cause I find them pleasing
Что ты можешь сказать за Топорсиб? Если можно по русски.
Awesome review on two great axes.
Also, what watch are you wearing?
Thank you! The e watch is the Air Blue Bravo Automatic
ReviewOutdoorGear with the way the edge is done. And the cuts in the axe so the wood doesn't stick. How many times can this axe be sharpened before it has no material left? Or be fixed from damage then there's now edge left to sharpen?
Alhamdulillah
Ok I bought a Hults Bruk Akka and then found this video of the Council tool axe. Pretty much the same axe as far as the weight and size. I also have a Gransfor Bruk small forest axe on the way to compare to the Akka. My question to you Review Outdoor Gear is which of the 3 do you prefer and why?
I would go with the Akka or the Small Forest Axe - and of you want me to only give you one recommendation - I would say the Small Forest from GB.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear could you give me some details on why the SFA or the Akka and why the council doesn't make the cut? I've used a cold steel pipe hawk for years with a 22 in handle and really like the extra length with almost no extra weight, which is why I bought the Akka. But I like the idea of the Council being American made and about the same weight and length as the Akka. The SFA has a cult following which always makes me wonder if there is just to much hype involved. I would really appreciate your input in greater detail if you don't mind. Thanks.
So what is the overall consensus of this ax? Is it a sweet looking designed to bring a higher price tag and compete with top shelf axes or is it worth every penny?
Good luck with your business I'll check out your site. FYI did you know that you chopped your steak to the tune of jingle bells? Merry Christmas.
What a lovely set of axes, but i would prefer a thinner handle with a larger palm swell.
Sandpaper glove
so why would you buy a GB after watching this video?
Quality of the steel and hickory in a GFB is better than this.
Even tho you can use the pommel for hammering? Seems like the blade geometry is better at chopping
The pommel is ground clean but I don’t think they recommend using it on anything other than wood. But that being said it’s still an advantage. However the Small Forest axe or Scandinavian Forest axe from GFB had a more slender blade that cuts wood slightly better than these axes. Of course that all comes at about twice the price so… pros and cons. 😂
You guys have quite a collection of axes, maybe should do a give away... ;)
+Vic Ivanov good idea! Which axe do you think would be an awesome giveaway?
ReviewOutdoorGear I could use the husky carpenter axe or the 24 (23) inch wood craft axe but council
Lot of cry babies in the comments
Seems to happen alot in axe videos
This seems so easy but in the reality is most Tiring thing
why do you dp reviews on axes thats look brand new and never used. to do a proper review a tool needs to be used extensively over weeks to months if not even years. a lot of youtuber does this and it ruins there credibilit.
The review of that type of axe should consits mostlg in how does it chop different wood compared to simmilar axes, this looks like an advertisement.
lol cuts a few pieces of wood and says edge holds up well lol wow.
Southerngunner 87 hahhahahahha took the words out of my mouth. And that close up looked like some edge rolling with steel reflecting the light. Love to see how it holds an edge after a day of real use lol
They hold an edge really well, fella's!
Yeah I'm not sure why he checked the edge after a couple wax but if the steel is as hard as stated in the video, it better hold up.
It sucks. Don’t buy one .
..Don't tell me who to praise.
