- What's the best small camping ax to add to your pack? In this video, I'll review what may be my favorite hatchet - the Husqvarna Camping Axe.
I highly recommend checking this out: amzn.to/2IscwVc

This small axe cuts through douglas fir and hardwood alike, making preparing kindling easy and also comes sharp enough from the factory to carve wood to make stakes, and makes its way through decent sized rounds in no time.
You'll be able to use this axe perfectly for smaller jobs.

Decent video sir. I appreciate that you didn't just talk about it and then show 35 seconds of use. I support your freedom to cut stuff how you want (even if I don't agree with the method), however, it might be slightly more responsible, just in case someone new or inexperienced is watching, to give a short disclaimer that cutting things the way you're about demonstrate is not advisable and will almost certainly result in serious injury, and then recommend that people watch a video or 2 about axe/hatchet safety before going at it. Sometimes setting a good example can be more important than doing the easiest or most familiar thing.
Appreciate your comment friend.
Great video but man, you are going to lose a finger one of these days.
May we all end up with 10 fingers and 10 toes!
Seriously I was cringing the whole entire time.
@@warrenbrown223 hes fairly 'armless
I realize Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Jesus Alex I would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)
After I watched this VDO, I brought Husqvarna Camping AXE for camping with my son.
It’s a good tool for us, nice and handy.
I pay 2,990 baht in Thailand. (85USD in 2023)
I sand the handle last night and plan for sharpening it in near future.
Thanks for made a good VDO for us

I'm lucky enough to own one of these. Awesome piece of kit. They are extremely sharp from new but not anywhere near the full potential. Once the edge is shown a bit of TLC, these axes can easily become literally razor sharp.! You can push cut through a piece of paper no problem at all. They feel a bit on the heavy side until you actually start putting it through its paces. Then you soon realise how the weight reduces the need to swing it down fast. This gentle and smooth action means you strike exactly where you want to each time. The handle itself i would describe as having 'two settings'. The normal grip for chopping , and another grip below the head for finer work. These things also keep their edge. For the money....? They are definitely snapping at the heels of the big boys who rule the market. These axes give you everything you are looking for in an axe...plus more. I wouldn't even bother looking around for another axe if I wanted another one in the future, I'd just go straight for one of these.
DISCLAIMER: I do not work for Husqvarna in any way ,shape, or form. I am not on any kind of sales commission.
I have typed this up in the hope that some of you might trust my word and save yourself a lot of money if you are looking to own an axe in the top division.
You won't regret it.👌
Can you say how did you make it razor sharp please? :)
Bloody hell thats long
I have one too💪💪
When I purchased mine about 6 years ago I could cut paper with it... Then I worked the edge with a circular stone and you could shave with it! My son will be getting this one... From cutting trees to making kindling this axe does it all....
That is awesome!
Definitely need to get one now
Let us know how you like it!
I love my Husqvarna hatchet made in 🇸🇪
I love it too!
Bill, I just ordered the 26" Multi Purpose axe from Acme Tools for $95 and couldn't be happier! Bill Doyle
Heck yeah!
@@STOKERMATIC Bill, Ironically ACME Tools made me wait till after 5 weeks had transpired whereupon they emailed me an invoice CANCELLING my order stating as a reason that the 26" Multi purpose axe had been DISCONTINUED! I always wondered why they had the same axe listed at $95 as well as at $127. What the reality turns out to be is they merely discontinued the lower priced SKU and now only offer it at the higher price! SCREW ACME TOOLS! I immmediately ordered one from Amazon at $129 and will never do business with ACME TOOLS again! Talk about BAIT & SWITCH!
Loved the video, thanks for making it! I agree that Hultz Bruk doesn't spend as much time on the Husky heads as they do their own. They finish their's with a gorgeous convex grind, versus Husky's quick and sloppy flat grind; but, that's why it's half the price. What ever came of the customization of your Husky axe?
I carry it all the time on my pack. Been awesome. I did some heat treatment and applied linseed oil.
Cheers Mate!
Same to ya!
I just realized you got the smaller version there’s a 13 inch heavier hatchet and has a bigger handle than this version, but good video bud
Awesome!
Ive had the husqavarna carpenters axe for a couple years and its a great axe. Bought a council tool axe the other day for 150(over 2x the price of the carpenters axe)and they hung the handle lopsided. You cant go wrong with any sweedish made axe. Atleast they know how to hang an axe and use decent enough steel.
Yeah I enjoy them!
can you please not put your hand on the block that you're chopping?! it is very disturbing to watch a guy almost losing his fingers for 5 minutes straight
I guess I’m lucky. Almost for 40+ years. Yes there are safer ways. But there’s also worse ways too.
I almost lost a finger chopping like 4that.good job I'm a n ex military medic. Sewed the bugger up and now use a piece of wood... no hands ;)
There you go!
great video. I love husky axes they are good quality for the money. Fiskars hatchet is my favorite though. modern and bulletproof. I can tell you are no axe man because your cutting close to your hand
Hunt R I like them too - especially for the price. I’m not fond of Fiskars from a design perspective. And I guess I’ve been doing alright over the years-still have all fingers and toes.
Hello sir. I am considering the 15 camping axe or the 13 hatchet by Husqvarna for bushcraft and camping. Any one in particular you recommend ?
Oh man, either one would be an amazing addition to your kit!
If weight is an issue go with the 15. The 13 is a bit heavier I think.
@@hydraulikz got the 15 I like it . thanks for the reply
hello...
is this the factory bevel???
thanks...
It is. Love it!
@@STOKERMATIC 👍
On Amazon the hatchet bit looks different like the old model. Is that the same thing?
They make a camping and a hobby hatchet maybe the one you saw was just a mislabeled hobby hatchet.
what store did you get it from?
This one I got from a local dealer. You can pick them up on Amazon - check the description.
@@STOKERMATIC yeah for double the price.
Should not have sap and heart wood together.
Great tip!

Thanks Robert!
@@STOKERMATIC You do great videos! :)
Lol
Do you still have all your fingers?
Used to have 6 on one hand 🤣😂
4:45 it all goes down hill
Thought the dude was gonna lose a finger, then
Some cherry ass gloves
Patrick, I’ve owned more gloves than I can shake a stick at. This pair isn’t too bad at all. Inexpensive and durable.
Need a microphone closer to you...
Thanks for the comment Peter - I work quite a bit to make each video better than the last. Hopefully, they are getting better.
@@STOKERMATIC Still your fav? Anything better for 50-ish?
BOOSTEDLASER can you rephrase your question?
Do you still like and use this axe? Perhaps like you like something better for $ 50 or so?
BOOSTEDLASER gotcha! Yes-I love it still. Use it all the time. Wouldn’t trade it.
