GRANSFORS BRUK Cruiser Axe: Splitting Axe-Cut Wood on the Ground

- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- This is a continuation of my review of the Arvika 5 Star. I don’t spend much time splitting with it before quickly swapping it out for one of my favorites-the GB cruiser axe, which is the star of this show. I also quickly catch you guys up on what’s been going on in my life and why it’s been a little longer since I’ve uploaded last. Hope you enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing more on this axe! House looks fantastic!
I’ll definitely do a full length vid sometime.
Congrats on the new house. Love the porch
Thanks, the back porch has the best view. Sunrises in the back and sets in the front.
Congratulations on moving in your new house. Keep great work greetings from Hellas
Thanks mate, give me some time to get settled and I’ll take you guys through it.
Congrats on the new house! That's a nice axe too.
Thanks
Love vintage axes..
Me too lol
Beautiful house.
Thanks
Congratulations on moving into the new house Kevin!
Thank you. It’s been a long time coming.
Those old double bits just seem to have so much more character. Man your new house looks incredible!
This axe definitely has a lot of character. I designed the house. I wanted a very simple craftsman style with an open-concept interior. I’ll take you guys through it sometime.
@@KevinsDisobedience Kevin you are super talented man, I would love to see the interior. The Craftsman and similar, Arts and Crafts style, are a favourite of mine. Cheers Trev
I've always preferred the double bit over the single. Handles so much better with better results.
This one is certainly enjoyable.
Dude I just found your channel, really good stuff.
Thanks, sorry I don’t get notified of comments on older videos. Hope you subscribe and stick around. Doing a giveaway soon so don’t miss it!
The sheath for the double bit is really nice
It’s actually original believe it or not. I almost tossed it when I bought the axe. It was disgusting, all dry rotted and moldy, plastic stitching. But I decided to restore it instead. Might even be a really old video of me doing so on the channel.

Congrats on the house mate and that view from the porch is awesome!
Thanks Kurt, sunset from the front porch sunrise from the back! Been waiting to get in here all year. It feels like it’s taking me forever, but alas it’s done.
@@KevinsDisobedience job well done too. Mans gotta have a porch (and a shed). I spend way too much time on mine apparently.
Congrats on the house! Yeah that double bit does look like the better splitter
Thanks. It is. Better everything really.
Beautiful house Kevin. Love the brick color. Settings pretty magic also. Happy for you guys!
One of the few things I didn’t do myself on this house. Friends of ours laid the brick. We loved the brick color too. Actually asked a random couple what quarry they got their bricks from and then sought it out lol.
I agree. That arvika just seems to get bogged down once the bit goes the wood with those flat cheeks. By the time it's sunk in the head speed just halts. The convexity of the little cruiser makes all the difference. If you're open to suggestions for a comparison, I'd say compare the arvika with the connie you have when it comes to splitting and chopping.
The Connie v Arvika would be a good comparison. They’re very similar, of course the Arvika is heavier by one pound. I’d like to throw my 4lb Dayton in at the end just to show how much better it chops. Will do at some point. Thanks.
That would be an interesting vid for sure
@@KevinsDisobedience Hey no problem man. Good luck with stuff going on around the new place and later projects.
@@kurts64 By comparison I already think that the connie pattern will pop and throw chips better than the arvika when it comes down to chopping. For all I know they could end up being the same in performance.
The Connie was pretty bad by comparison, but it does have a stubbier bit which means it doesn’t have to penetrate the wood so far before it starts to break the chips.
Nice Kevin! Thanks for the video, I'm always interested in testing different axes.
Lovely house man
Thank you, I’ve it a lot of my time and money into this house. It’s so nice to be able to relax and love in it now. Although I’ve still got a lot of work to do before it’s really squared away.
House Warming Party at Kevin’s!!! Let me know the date😎
I too am a lover of the double bits, especially the cruisers. They are like the ninjas in the world of axes🥷
Also, looking forward to the expansion of your channel. There are too many cool things guys like us are into, I say share it to the world my friend!
Thanks brother, I’m glad you’re along for the ride.
Congrats on new house! Looking forward to whatever direction you take the channel but I hope you don't stray too far from the chopping. Take care and have a nice day
I’ll always post axe vids. Just want to do some other stuff too.
Does a cruiser have different edge angles on each side like a full size double bit? The full sized ones have, by prescription, one side with 32 degree included angles and one with 25. The blunt side is for grubbing around areas like tree roots.
One side is slightly thicker on mine. But 32 will do nothing but bounce. And 25 would be a decent splitter. Needs to be sub twenty to chop well.
nice house
Thank you
I have a serious axe problem and can’t stop buying. Anyway, I’m seeking the right axe for splitting. Any suggestions?
Can’t go wrong with the 28” Fiskars. It’s bomb proof. But if you want a vintiage head, just look for a 4lb Dayton with a thick profile. It’ll split!
Hey I make axes and knives, not forged yet but everything else do you have any advice for starting up my content ?
I’m probably not the right guy to ask if you want to grow fast. I’ve been on YT for a year now and still haven’t hit 1k. Subs are hard to come by. My best advice is make the best video you can with the equipment you have at the moment and upload it. Just start. Then try and upload at least once a week. I don’t have other socials, but if you do let them know about it. Then work on improving the quality if the vid, sound first, vid second (which is done more with lighting than camera). Also, move the camera to capture many angles. Don’t just set it up and talk. Do your best to relax on camera and be yourself. Don’t play a caricature of yourself, unless you’re going for a comedy channel. I just try to make videos I want to watch. Hope that helps. Let us know when you start.
Oh, and take the time to respond to comments, especially when the channel is still small and you can manage it. Get to know your audience. Cheers
Awesome thanks that did help. Yeah when I get started I’ll have to post all the stuff I’ve made. I really like doing all the work but to now capture it is the hard part for me. I’ve never been into photography.thank you for the advice.
