Great question, my friend! I would highly recommend the 24" Council Tool Boy's Axe.

It's great quality and very affordable - just an outstanding value! I am leaving you links to my video on the 24" Boy's axe and where you can pick one up.

I want to put together a quality survival/bug out bag. Would this be a good tool to add? Or would there be a better tool for a similar or lower price? (I already have a larger axe, just need a small thing to carry with me and have finer control for splitting or smaller trees/brush) I plan to have 3 major tools and a multi tool. A medium sized axe for heavier work (have it), a small hand/saddle axe for lighter work, and a survival knife.

Really cool axe... seems like the handle could use a bit more length, doncha think?

Great video Dave. This is the first of hearing about this axe. I immediately went to Council Tool's website only to find that the description says only a VERY limited amount of these axes will be made and offered to first come first serve buyers. I have to admit this is disappointing news seeing that the company could have a hit on it's hands and does not make it available to more buyers. I'm all for buying american made but I'm not impressed by limited availability when it comes to interesting items such as this. I feel that the odds of getting one of these is very slim.

Hi Andrew! What you were seeing on the website was the Commemorative Saddle axe. That is more of a showpiece and only a certain number were sold to celebrate Council Tool's 130 year anniversary.

It has not yet been released but is coming very soon, which is why you didn't find information on this one on the website, just yet. So hang in there, my friend!

I am sorry to hear about that, my friend. Maybe at some point, the price will drop for you and you will absolutely love using this axe! Thank you for watching! -Dave

Just curious Dave, what does the eye measure for both length and width? If you don't mind. :) Great vid as always!

Ty for your efforts...but you have answered it on FB. My guess is it will measure 2 1/4 to 1/2 by 5/8 or 1/2 aprox. .

Thank you, my friend! You are probably right about the measurements! -Dave

Nice review! In my humble opinion 5160 is a spring steel more suitable for swords as it is very flexible at lower Rockwell! Not sure if it is a good steel for an axe! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you fro the kind words! Council Tool uses 5160 for all of their premium axes and I like the steel very much. Most of them are tempered to a rockwell hardness of about 54, which is a perfect balance of holding a great edge but not so hard that it's brittle, especially in cold weather. I appreciate the awesome comment, my friend! -Dave

You've probably researched it already but 5160 is considered a premium steel for swords, axes, and machetes. Just not for knives.

We added Whiskey River Trading to the family of dealers carrying this axe... check them out! whiskeyrivertrading.com/collections/axes-and-tools

Another well done video, thanks. Constructive Comment: When you reference edge bevel geometry, it would help viewers if you were to deliniate if you are referencing DPS or INC (Degrees Per Side or Inclusive both sides). I understand that when discussing axes, hatches, etc. it is common to use Inclusive, but many don't follow any common standard when discussing edge-bevels in degree (as a result the numbers are many times incorrectly given and or interpeted).

Hi Dave, if you don’t mind I’d like to get your opinion about an axe. I’m getting ready to buy a Council Tool axe... I’m considering the velvecut Saddle Axe or the Woodcraft Pack axe. I’d deeply appreciate your thoughts. Thank for your videos and the positive outlook you have on life my friend. All the best to you and yours!

Keith Parr Read my question. If you want the axe for bushcraft or camping/hiking, go with the WoodCraft. You will not be sorry.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, Keith! IMHO, you cannot go wrong with the Woodcraft Pack axe. A bit more versatile than the double bit Saddle axe. Keep me posted on what you get, my friend! -Dave

Say Heah Dave, WoW, Awesome, Thanx You so much for sharing this beauty. Thanx You, I have a 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet, It's a close copy of Nessmuk's Double Bit Hatchet he had custom Ade, But he was a smaller man then I so when I first opened the box, I thought it was a Miniture, But regardless it's a great substitude for a large knife. I did make a wannabe Nessmuk Trio, I have a Rough Rider stag, Moose Patern Slipjoint Pocket Knife, and my recent Adventure Sworn Guide which is a Nessmuk Knife in 3V and mine from tip to handle is 5" and even though there's no real mention of Nessmuk's knife size, But I believe it to be a 5" blade, Anyhow that's my wannabe Nessmuk Knife, and of course my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet, But this Council has me excited, Kewl BeanZ, Thanx, Dave. ,, .

Thank you for watching! Ive have heard good things about the 2Hawks double bit hatchet! You are right, he was a small man and he doesn't describe the size of his knife. I think you are right and it sounds like you have a nice trio there! -Dave

Maybe I didn't make it clear, When I first got the 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet, I thought it was a Miniture, Yeah, It's small, But it's no toy, It's a lightweight that punches like a heavyweight. Anyhow I really like it because I wear it no problemo on person and I use it as a large knife and it's great. Anyhow, George Washington Sears aka Nessmuk was a small man and he had the Double Bit Hatchet Custom Made by some optical company, I think Bushnell, anyhow that's why my double hit is small, It's a close copy to Nessmuk's, But I use it alot . It's not as powerful as my 17" Agdor or my S. F. A. but I can vhop and split with it by changing the bit handle, That's why I'm excited when I heard Council is comming out with a 2lbs'er , I just hope they will have atlrast a 17" handle. ,, .

Coffee and, , , a Grand Pearl, a beautiful mild cigar with floral undertones, Sometimes I get slight banana, I like that, It's rare and no more available in large quantities, and beside 10 will run you over $100.00. ,, .

I truely enjoyed that Grand Pearl, I have a Cusano 18, a 18 year aged cigar and a Torano Naventa 90 and possibly a Devil's Weed or a Sosa to finish the day, That's enough for a day's smoke. A Woman is just a Woman, But a Cigar is a Smoke !!!!
