"the longer shaft compensates for the smaller head"
same.
That was a massive carrot!
OldieBones that's what she said
Ivo De Smedt omg that's what I was going to say
OldieBones it was dildo
OldieBones i feel like it was a sweet potato
OldieBones, I think what the Dutch call it is a Winter Penis.
im hungry from all the delicious looking food
thanks mate!

I got this axe as a present when I was 15. Now I have a large hole in my left leg.
That axe is super cool. Great video. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites!
+Captain Airyca thanks a lot airyca!
I am 54 years old, live in Ohio, U.S.A., and I have this particular Axe. It's one of my favorites. But, recently, I have found a NEW favorite. It's an American made Axe. The name of the company is: "Council Tool", their in North Carolina. Their top end Axes are called "Velvicut".......second to none! Right now, their the Hottest Axe company on the planet. Period! -Stephen, Ohio U.S.A.
@Gary Dodgson I've a couple Council tools, all made in Waccamaw NC, nothing like what you pontificate. Really love their 2.5 and 4 lb axes. Great hookaroon too. Council makes various tools for forest fire-fighters and law-enforcement. Six-pound maul is great value. Seek truth, then speak. Nothing against China here, but not applicable here.
The long shaft makes up for the small head. Not going to say anything.
JC!AwesomenesS! Lmao
That’s what she said!
she...
very easy to handle, if you put your hand under the head like this.
That's the video I've wanted to see! I can't believe how sharp that axe was after all that chopping.Very cool going from chopping down trees to cooking. Maarten can do it all!
Beautiful axe :) I own the H009 model (900g head, 50 cm handle) and truly love it. It can be used with one or two hands, big enough to split firewood and fell some medium size trees, yet it is small enough to fit into a backpack. And most importantly, it is not as expensive as the classic line or the ones that Gransfors bruk makes and i am not afraid to actually use it. It is a working man tool :)
My face when this axe is sharper than my kitchen knives.
Jack Evans Wheres the face your showing us?
Potato Fries ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
dude seriously. My kitchen knives are pretty dull tbh
An axe is supposed to be razor sharp
Jack Evans obviously a damn axe will be sharper than some kitchen knife
This was one of the first dbk videos I ever watched, and I consistently come back to it. This was a dbk masterpiece.
Now they're like a bunch of teenagers, hard to watch without cringing.
@@MrDosonhai eh I still like their new content. Mayve slightly less, but I see why theyre changing their style because they've already made so many videos on the cool, cliche bushcraft subjects
Thanks for this video. An axe is a greatly underestimated woodscraft tool. Axes (or hatchets) were always considered esential by early woodsmen. You showed just some of the versatility. I believe that knives and axes should be considered together when one is choosing bushcraft tools. Oldtimers here in Montana wouldn't go out without them.
Did you use the axe to fell that carrot too?!
+YesDeere13 haha hard work pays off
No it would have been too thick
the woods can heal easily from this ... *cuts down the hole tree*
haha. that one was dead already. the one with the nots was alive though.
Dutch Bushcra
chopped trees also grow back if the roots are intact. Most of the energy of the trees are stored in the roots.
oh nice. thanks I didn't know that :)
depends on which species of tree it is actually. A pine tree would not grow back that easily if you cut it down from the trunk. Oak or maple however will just sprout new twigs again.
I have a similar axe, the Hunters Axe from Hultafors, and it has served me very very very well. I can hardly believe it is so good for so little price
Excellent and fun review! During splitting on the stump the music was playing, you were talking and the video was in fast motion. I suddenly became all dizzy and fell out of my recliner!!! Whoa!!!
Well done. That axe would be good for larger trees as well but like you say it shines with the smaller ones.
Thanks A.J.!
you should have at least 50k subcribers ur videos are amazing!
thanks a lot mate!
simri cruz has 200k lol
zB Matt what happens when you don’t look at the date a comment was made.
The food looks great and so does the axe. Thank you for sharing and take care!
Great review! I like the quality videos you guys produce. Way better than most. Extra bonus for reviewing anything Swedish. Makes me miss my home.
thanks a lot Thomas! we appreciated your kind words!
For those in North America try Canadian Outdoor Equipment Company in Ontario. They have a website. The prices are reasonable and they carry a good selection. I preordered a Gränsfors Bruks Small Forest Axe yesterday for US $118 that should be in my hands by November 1st.
haha i found there website before even looking at your comment
bought myself a small forest axe too and man they have good prices
Did you get the axe???
Prices must have gone up....
@@AllThingsZz that’s what I was thinking💀
I love how he has an axe and tries to break the tree pushing
great video as always congrats with 4022 subscribers 😉 myself have a granfors bruks scandinavian forest axe i have thinned a good bit and mirror polished i love it. it can fell it can split it can feather and its a rock solid tool
Lots of fun to watch. Very well edited. Thank you.
you are very welcome! thanks a lot!
Your chopping technique is interesting haha although you're pretty buff so it may not matter to you
But just a tip when u swing at a tree start with one hand at the bottom and one torwards the top and as u swing the axe slide the hand towards the top all the way down to meet the bottom one. Watch some lumberjack competitions
is it bad that all I cared about was the stew ._.
Just found your channel and I'm really loving the content, mate. Keep it coming, really enjoying it. You and your mate in your other videos have a good sense of humor, too. Keep that alive, good stuff.
thanks a lot mate!
Rarely get to see a meal prepared with an axe, from wood to food. Well done, good show. Thanks for sharing. Texas
Thanks a lot and you are very welcome!
Sweden + vikings = op axe
definitely not a logger.
Don't need to be a logger when you are a absolute beast.
+Roy van der Heijden yes a beast, because only an animal would chop down a tree the way he did
Hugo Lopez I consider this as childish.
Roy van der Heijden i actually agree with huge lopez, it costs you your fire wood (talking out of experience, did bushcraft and survival myself) and i learn the right way to cut down trees at my school 😌 but then again, everyone does it his or her way
What would you say is the right way?
Very nice work. Great editing and straight to the point reviews. You my muscular man have earned a subscriber.
thanks a lot Angel! appreciate it!
You certainly do Get it On, nice bush craft and a very tasty looking meal too, good work and video.
that's the biggest carrot I've seen in my life!! Godzilla-carrot!!
4:39 did you guys saw someone walking in the background
the editing of your videos is always the best.
thanks a lot!
wow, that is a beautiful axe. also, never even thought of that sideways splitting technique before, thanks for that.
thanks a lot Will! you are very welcome!
Try Fiskars (real fiskars, not knockoff ones) axes, with composite shaft :) Where i live, everyone has them, they last trough rain and bad weather, and still do the job, and you don't have to worry about breaking the handle, by missing the wood. They are not too expensive either :)
+Psyconatpr thanks for the tip mate! We'll check them out!
Psyconatpr fiskars are trash
I have a fiskars axe and hatchet. I use them for junk work like cutting roots in the ground where i may hit rocks
Fiskars are complete crap
“The wounds are small so the tree survives” *proceeds to cut tree down
Looks a lot more controllable than your typical felling axe :)
Great vid!
thanks a lot Micky!
Great video, I'm shopping for a great ax, and this look like it! Thanks
Wist niet dat Freek Vonk een youtube kanaal heeft!
Neram Soltani goeie
Neram Soltani Nice!
Neram Soltani ik vond ook al dat hij op Freek Vonk leek
He looks a lot like NHL goalie Marc-Andre Fleury but a bit more muscular. 😃😃😃
I live 10km from Hultafors, proud of what they make!
65 euro how about that inflation eh
American girls would love those carrots
Mateo Sanchez what has society come to😂
I believe this is the same axe as the husqvarna 26" multipurpose forest axe. The quality control may be less though and I dont' know that the husqvarna would be cheaper in Europe anyway, but I think it is here. Just got one. I'm just starting a video series to modify it and put it through the paces to make it do lots of different stuff. Seems like it has potential. I'm into the multipurpose axe concept. The husqvarna is longer than the gransfors, though that may not be true by the time I reseat the head down far enough.
I'm curious about how it will end up looking mate! it sounds good.
First video is uploading right now, but it's just mostly me testing the axe out of the box. I have some stuff I already don't like and will be experimenting a bit with the profile. We'll see how it turns out. I'm sure I can improve it though, at least to my way of thinking. Cheers.
Brilliant, well done and entertaining. Thank you!
+John J. Jay thanks a lot!
I´m no expert in cutting with an axe, but it looks to me like his technique is terrible. Basically no technique, just muscle usage.
you are correct. i suck with axe techniques haha
people in Africa could have eaten those trees....!
great knife technique! ill give you props for that.
haha thanks rayne!
This is one of the most entertaining bushcraft channels I've seen in a while. Nice work! sub'd
thanks a lot Tom!
They do great knife reviews also.
the music at 7:02 no plz do not use that
Excellent video and amazing axe
You make the stew prep and end product look so good, its in the middle of the night and now i'm hungry :-)
haha thanks!
Great axe. I like my grantors brûk but I would love to try this one out. Grats on having such a nice tool.
thanks a lot! i too love my gransfors small forest axe a lot.
Very impressed with the size of your carrot! Enjoyed this video. I have a Husqvarna hatchet that seems pretty nice. I'm not much of a hatchet or ax guy, but I still sometimes get tempted to upgrade to one of the premium Swedish brands (Gränsfors Bruk, Hultafors, Wetterlings).
hahahaha! thanks
this channel is so awesome you show us how to bushceaft and cook
+Jereninja thanks a lot!
While chopping and splitting, keep your hands next to each other, it makes the hits so much more powerful.
thanks for the tip!
Great review, I know I'll be getting one of these instead of a Grunsfors. Great value for money £40 here in U.K. One of my favourite knife channels.
+GD thanks a lot mate!
Great axe. Thank you for the overview. Greetings from Pittsburgh. Laura
thanks a lot Laura!
great little vídeo. congrats guys...
No problem for you young guys with all that muscle to chop apart those large logs at the start of your demonstration of the video. Even with that fine axe I don't think I could chop like that. :)
This is the best channel that I have found this month and we are just over half way through.
thanks a lot mate! we appreciate it!
good job with the ediiting nice speed ups and songs
Such a quality video
Q & A is awesome !!! Please make a winter mess kit video !! Happy New year !! Love you guys ☺️❤️🤗
thanks a lot mate! I chopped all my mess kits up with the destruction tests haha.
Nice axe! Hultafors make strong tools. I have a Wetterlings and Gränsfors Bruk but I'd get one of these if I needed one, no problems whatsoever.
Great review, them survival and cooking skills... rock on guys! :)
My late Dad grew up in wartime Groeningen. I can't imagine him doing much bushcraft there lol. Good video, though!
great video review and axe. myself love and use my granfors bruks scandivian forest axe
I have the small forest axe as well. it's a great little axe.
yes sir
Little light head with a not thin bit in a medium size handle is clearly not a feller. Nice video, glad to see newbies entering the axe world.
Nicely done
now I want that sweet axe. good review
This axe has excellent forging stamps. They'll be there for a long time.
Say Heah Dutch, Cheers. A while ago, I bought a 17" Hultafors Bruks Agdor Hatchet, It's a older range and was replaced with a newer range, like yours, I bought it at a closeout at a great price. The newer Hultafors Bruks have the Swedish Style with the ears to reinforce strength. Mine is more of a European Style without ears, But I really like it too. I also bought a 26" Husqvarna All Purpose Forest Axe that's actually made by Hultafors Bruks, My Agdor came out spot on, The Bevel and the wood grain was every bit as good as my G. B. But not as sharp, But it didn't take much to have it as sharp. The Swedish Steel was struck multiple times and is an outstanding Hatchet. So I figured why not get the Husqvarna, So I did, But I had to return it, At first glance, I said what a beauty, But on closer inspection, I noticed alot of glue around the eye, That didn't bother me, But looking closer, I noticed the eye was defective, This is one tool I don't take for granted, It had a piece of metal attached in tge eye where they had to specially form the axe handle too, It was a good cover up, But I still felt not sure and for an Axe, I didn't trust it, I bought it on sale at Bailey's at a sale price. I had to return it so I contacted Robert and he was very nice about it and even gave me a voucher to send it back. I exchanged it with a Ochsenkopf Axe similar in size, It's just a little bit larger, But I got the 620 H-1257 that has the Rowland Plus which is a steel plate over the eye and screwed into the handle, It has the European Style head and is made in Germany, It also has a steel sleeve to protect the handle on over strikes. I'm very familiar with Iltis Oxhead which is who makes the Ochsenkopf Axe. Years ago I had a Iltis Oxhead hanged on a 19 "White Hickory Handle and made it a House Axe. I started Baldric Carrying it and it's a great camp Axe, especially when we process alot of firewood by Axe Tapping Technique. That being said, I also just ordered my 24" Council Wood Craft Pack Axe with the heavy duty sheath and sling and this Axe became my Fav. this time of the year and Winter Weather Bush Craft trips, It's Aces, I like long hikes and scouting out new area's. It's ideal for that. I also have a G. B. Small Forest Axe which I really like too, But as you know, Their more expensive. But that House Axe is the older Iltis and painted black instead of the new yellow their using now. It has to be atleast a 2 3/4 lbs. head with a 5" thin face face. But the weight just makes short work and goes through knots like a hot knife through butter, I keep it very sharp. But as far as an all purpose axe especially when processing alot of wood and just bush crating, the Council is Aces. In warmer weather, I like to on person carry something like my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet or my WarBeast which for its weight is an excellent chopper, I also have the three Estwings even the Double Bit Hatchet which I enjoy using and I can beat on those. Thanx for a great review and Cheers, M8.
I'm gonna buy this. it's awesome
Cool vid Bro and cool axe... Just what I'm looking for, as a birthday present for an old friend! ... and myself.... 🤗
Thanks for sharing I'll have to get myself one
Another great video!!
Amazing video!
Ive got the haltaforce hunting axe and I love it
I have that same axe but in the hatchet form and i love it and it is so sharp
If I could have one cutting tool it would be this size of an axe. Old woodsmen knew they could do everything with them, though some things a little slower, but I would take an axe any day over having to baton my night's worth of firewood.
I have a Huskvarna axe made by Hults Bruks that is the same or very similar. Love it. If you can't afford a Gransfors small forrest axe, get this axe! I have a Gransfors wildlife hatchet and the quality is very similar.
im from sweden and i love your videos.
thanks a lot!
What is your best knife of all time?
awsome thanks abe
3. Years late but awesome, more serious and knowleable, excellent axe
Very cool video!!
Thank you for your video ! You've made my choice so much easier. Was going for the Gransfors Bruks but so expensive.. the Hultafors is as good and just as sexy ! Purchased mine and still waiting for delivery and justccant wait !
Very well done!! I have 3 of these axes 😉
A axe for food preparation?Very creative.I can say I have never seen an axe used in this way.
it was the challenge I gave myself haha, It was fun to do!
You were really young back then. It is interesting how your techniques have changed and how they stayed the same. You obviously had to learn how to properly fell a tree. But, being a knife man and a knife channel that is not surprising. You guys make interesting videos. I have not seen a Non-Mickey video previously. Great video.
Haha, cool man, keep up the hard work💪🏿
nice to see this
Nice looking meal!
Herr Martin, Please publish your food recipes, and many thanks for a thorough and very instructive presentation. Bitte veröffentlichen sie ihre Lebensmittel Rezepte, und vielen Dank für eine sorgfältige, sehr aufschlußreich Präsentation. Sincerely, Nestor
Great axe by the way ✌️️
I love this video
I was thinking that you would enjoy this one as i see manybaxe video's on your Channel. thanks a lot knife Brother.
That food prep was amazing! Did great on the veggies. I think it could use a stropping before it gets on the meat though, especially since the cutting surface is short as compared to a knife which you can drag and slice with even if it's not razor sharp.
Thanks a lot! stropping would have helped a lot but I wanted to see how it performed finer tasks after the chopping. It did great! i'm very happy with this axe!
Cheers!
One thing I would like to see is a close-up of the hang - under and above the eye, to see if there any gaps, cracks, or glue. I also would like some clarification on the manufacture. I think Hults Bruks is owned by Hultafors, but they have separate lines of axes.
hey, They are pretty unclear about where they come from. On paper they make it sound like they are older than Gransfors and wetterlings but maybe in the end they are all the same? I can't tell you sadly. I'd have to check the eye as soon as I'm at my place in the forest again. I don't remember seeing any gaps before the tests.
cheers!
Thanks!
Love the vids, as always :)
thanks a lot mate!
You should make a video where you sharpen an axe to perfection!!!
