A hatchet is 18 inches or less in length, for better hand control while splitting smaller sections. An axe is longer for chopping down and/or starting blows needed when cutting lengths. Hope this helps. :)

I like that silver hatchet 🪓 with the black handle

Beautiful Olive Bowl

Love your dad's accent. Love all your vids.

the beast is a splitting maul!

the "old nut" is a funny guy:D , great video take care.

Love your coffee cup at the beginning it's beautiful! You made it yourself? Great job mate!!

The knotch is indeed a nail puller. Awesome to see you guys again giving another informative and great video. Cheers Guys from Northern Canada.

Just a couple of lads playing with their choppers in the woods.....

We used a felling axe and a splitting axe to process wood in our wood lot in New England years ago.

I love getting the notification for your new uploads man keep them coming dude

So glad I subscribed! Thank you very much for the attention to safety detail at 1:52. I've seen other bushcraft KZreadrs pound things with the blunt end without securing the blade...

There's a good reason they do that, when you are pounding with the poll of your axe the mask would be striking the edge repeatedly, over time cutting though the leather welt and stitching. Now Mike's mask has brass rivets and no welt so it isn't going to cut through (perhaps this is why he's using it whilst pounding) but it would seem to me that having brass against the edge of your axe might not help with maintaining it's sharpness. That type of mask is also more prone to coming off unless fitted tightly.

Great video guys

That carving a hatchet looks amazing. I love it's design

Traditional German style from Helko Werk:)

The metal handled hatchet with the notch is a camp axe the notch is for pulling tent stakes.

Need to re-handle those two older kent pattern axes, the metal pin you have there should run across the grain and hold in a wooden wedge which looks like its missing from both of the axes, easy job and good fun to do, would make a decent video to film aswell. Enjoying the video's :) keep up the good work!

Great video guys! Thanks!

thanks ya'll for sharing with us I do enjoy watching until next time ya'll take care

Great presentation on axes - thanks

your pop got a new hairpiece!! he looks years younger. i need one myself.

Great job

excellent video. especially with your dad there. i miss my dad. he was so good about teaching me and my brother about the outdoors. cheerio. carry on.

inmensamente genial el vídeo. gracias y saludos desde Uruguay.

Very Informative! Thanks guys!

At 3:35. that is a Broad Hatchet... You flatten logs with it. Looking at them you may find the head is offset left or right to protect the axemans knuckles when hewing a beam. At 5:25 that is a small camp hatchet... Hatchets are one handed tools. Light work like kindling or limbing a log. At 6:25 that is a splitting maul and is necessry for dense grained hardwood splitting. The flat backside of the splitting maul is for driving wedges if you are splitting a log lengthwise. Love your dad's wooden mallet! Yes, put a wedge in if the hole through the head is a cylinder bore. If the head is oval and the handle driven through the mallet head and not into (I don't know if that makes sense) the head cannot fly off. Using the mallet would make it tighter on the handle shaft.

you guys are too cool lol

It’s very satisfying to watch when you just got an axe (or hatchet)

awesome, love it

You and the old nut. Love your video's. Keep up the good work...and greetings, from across the pond.

you guys are great. your dad cracks me up. cheers!

pretty cool.. thanks for sharing.

I like your cup

Great video and your dad is an awesome dad at that.

you be right it is a nail puller.... really liked the wooden mallet

As a Swede, i love the way you pronounce "Husqvarna" :D

the big wood hammer is called a beatle

Hi just wanted to say that I love you and your dad's channels as I am a avid freshwater fisherman from a long line on fishermen some professional some just as hobbies but I love fishing and I have always loved proper bushcraft too ,I work outside as a handyman and gardener and couldn't ever work in a office! I love the knowledge you are preserving in a age were people tend to want to stay indoors and doing things through their computer instead of real life! I like you have quite a few axes and hatchets but have had real trouble finding a real good quality medium size bushcraft axe , either way too big or too small! Went to Scotland and returned to a shop that used to sell them but alas it had no market for them so stopped selling them! I have resorted to buying a very heavy 2 1/4 lb hatchet and found a great good quality 22 or 24 inch handle and after a proper edge put on the head and removed the silly waxy paint job of it too in will fit the handle very carefully and I should have a really good axe that I can use safely with one hand for kindling and big enough to swing two handed and also compact enough to attach to the side of a back pack when I get back up to Scotland to do some wild camping! A great tool is sometimes hard to come across now days especially when it's for a dying skill! Anyway keep up the great work!

Is your Dad related to Chris Townsend? Sounds and looks a lot like him. Funny and enjoyable video!

Guy this is a great episode I love your home made mallet. There's still a lot of broad axes and hatchets but because I will never hew another log I have always ignored but you have showed me you can still have fun in the bush with them. I must also add that I loved the intro or you making a brew.

That's a great collection you have. GP stay away from that grinder ;-) lol if you need to remove chips from the edge use a bastard file.

Axe's and Hatchet's could be a 8 hour conversation. Outside of Joinery and Hewing Axes, the number and types of Heads and Hafts are countless. When you go from cutting and shaping Axes and Hatchets, to types used as Weapons, the topic explodes. Best advice; know the anatomy of an Axe. All the terms are transferable to Hatchets. Then, enjoy owning them, in almost every case, the type of tool and it's purpose will reveal itself when in use. Thanks for another great Video .....

brill vid guys love them

Thanks...enjoyed learning more about axes...just have the one...for joinery...used to cut wedges before the plastic rawl plugs came in...thanks Mike and Dad Graham...how much wood would a woodcutter cut? if a woodcutter could cut wood!...great vid...

Hard to beat a good ax or hatchet. Can spend a lifetime perfecting its use, too. Take care.

Most any fruit tree wood is great for tool handles, such as for chisels etc. Also good for the mallet head or carving. As for the replacement hatchet handle or mallet, in the UK, you should probably look for something like Ash, if you can find some. You need toughness and a bit of flexibility to absorb shock. I think Pine would be much too weak and potentially dangerous for long-term use. Love the channel and I hope this helps.

Dear ol dad....hes awesome!

Thanks for all the talk about axes and hatchets.What axe would you suggest for bushcraft/camping?

Two guys that do t know squat talking about axes, and yet I watched most of it because I love the Old Nut!

Cool video!!!

Love your videos bro

the slot on the small hatchet is for pulling nails.

My new Gransfors bruks wildlife hatchet doesnt have a wedge pin. They use a new technology at gransfors to seat the head on the handles now... solid as s rock.

Awesome vid guys!!! THANKS SO MUCH FROM NYC!!! #yourdadwins #love'em #air #safe #lol #moremodernway #carving #hawtorne #axe

I had a metal hatchet like the one you have the little indent I used for pulling steaks from the ground for tents

Hey I have the little hatchet! I just finished cleaning it and sharpening it for the first time! Tuned out pretty good. I used the sharpening stone. I think I wore off the bevel though.

Great work on the video men

Was looking for a decent all round hatchet, got the Husqy,great bit of kit

The small hatchet is a camp axe. That divit is for pulling nails and tent pegs. At Walmart they sells those in the camping section.

unbelievable value the husqvarna hatchet.

The little slot on the colman is so amall that it cant pull any nails of an size T all

nice video

For the wooden Mallet you won't need a wedge you're just make the end tapir in slightly towards the handle.

Yep got one of those rubber handle axes and you are right it has that notch for pulling nails, not sure how old it is because it was my dads and still use most days as we have a chippy in the kitchen. ( I bought dads house) Great vid guys. All the best bro from a wet NZ

I agree with Mike, pulling nails. Joiners axe.

bring on the fish supper 🎣

I believe the slot in the Coleman axe is for nails and cutting barbed wire.

I use whats called a Maul in the winter to split large pieces of wood. It has an 8 pound head. Have you ever had to use one of those?

IMO you should use a tapered shaft handle on drop it in like a tomahawk, that way it can't fly off and just gets tighter. I believe that the broad head hatchet is a type of hewing head, it appeared to be flat on one side.

Super ;-)

The large blade axe is called a hewing hatchet. It’s hilarious watching you using them to chop(not at all what it’s meant for)

The broadaxes are carpenters axes, the big chap is a maul, the metal one is in the bin. The broadaxes are hatchets, the metal one is close to a hatchet. The others are hand axes.

Nice video, fellas. It's cool to see the old axes in here. Just curious about Mikes Husqvarna tools - what is the purpose of the leather wrap, up by the axe head?

It would look good with a hard wood wedge in the mallet

All metal one is a carpenters/wood workers hatchet.

Love axe,s ..

The Big Yellow one, We call a "Splitting Mall" here in the US of A.

hey, it's Davos from Iron Fist. =)

A hatched is designed for one handed use. Axes are two handed tool. Inbetween is the so called one-hand axe, it's usually a light axe with a grip slightly longer then a hatched. It can be used onehanded or with both hands.

Nice vid guys , a wedge in the woodern mallet shaft end , might split the head...... imho........as its dead centre in the head grain of the wood ....maybe make some birch sap resin glue to seal it in there instead {roll up birch bark and stuff it in a tin with a lid , put a small hole in the lid , stick it on the fire embers to sweat out the resin and concentrate it in a natural hot glue }.....Cassie

Cool video how many knives do you have

nice video guys, a Hatchet tends to have a handle 12" or less then you have 1/2 lenght 3/4 and full, you shouldnt reall use the poll of the axe to hammer as it could miss shape the eye of the axe coursing the handle to not fit orrect. :) Jay

The broad head axes you dad held was used by the old timers for making lumber and wooded beams etc for buildings. Has for sharpening axes on the grind stone I advise against it has the stones to corse and it messes up the heat treat and the axe will be blunt in no time. I suggest if you no good sharpening free hand buy an electric work sharp with the different grit belts and speed adjustment

Great video guys, please get your dad to replace that small axe handle it really needs to fit snug to as much metal as possible and it looks like there is some rotted out. Best to be safe than sorry if that fly's off well you know what could happen. Wrangerstar does a good axe handle replacement video.

We call that big one a maul.

Congrats and thanks to/for a fantastic channel. Careful if sharpening tools on a grind stone. They can play havoc with your heat treat. If your careful you can have a water bucket to the side to keep the steal cool. But you have to dunk it before it turns straw colour, if it turns red, even blue, your taking the temper out when you dunk it. Leaving the edge to hard/brittle. With a fine knife it's just a no go. It's a little different with axes, maybe even machetes (after heat treat). I.e. That massive log splitter shouldn't be as much of a problem. But a fine carving axe should be treated like a knife. Ideally if you want power sharpening you want a Japanese waterwheel. The stone is more of a whetstone and it has a tray of water at the bottom that keeps a continuos flow over the wheel as it rotates. You can probably get an attachment for your bench grinder.

I forgot to add. They also run slow. If you can find an attachment you might want to check if your bench grinder can run at the required sprees.

@TAOutdoors 5:30 that's a camper's axe. the little notch is for pulling out tent pegs.

I would say the metal handle is a roofers axe and it is for removing nails

kopi mana kopi,..

Did you carve the wooden cup?

Definitely a nail puller, might be an older estwing, carpenters hatchet

Nice did you get the last scene in one take? I would just take a metal wedge and tap it in to the mallet.

Where can I find a Kuksa like that. beautiful man

the 3ld short curved handle one looks like a hueing axe

The small hatchet with the artificial grip looks to be a TrueTemper. I had one as a lad in 1958 in the USA and it was my camp hatchet until I hit the poll with a rock a few times, while batoning wood and the axe split parallel to the handle, down the face of the tool. I can't think they were designed to be long-lived or effective and once the join between the tubular handle and the head loosened, the tool couldn't be repaired. The notch was supposed to be a big feature: light camp construction tasks could be pieced together using nails. Boys who bent nails rather than drove them true could more easily pull the bad ones out. (Sigh.)

It’s actually a Coleman camp axe...

surprised you didn't have any of those mini axes and hatchets that are nearly pocket size

The carving axe looks like a prandi...what is the brand?
