These axes look great, congratulations for the successful lauch ! A full size felling axe would be awesome

Merry Christmas! One of your Lamaca light forest axes is definitely on my wish list for 2020. Beautiful axes!

Cant wait for a cruiser! Happy Christmas axe friends.

Merry Christmas Lane! Can’t wait for the next axe launch:)

Absolutely love my LFA merry Christmas

Ever thought about doing a weekly/monthly video series of your 3 or 5 favourite axe clips? Could be anything from vintage footage to KZreadrs. Carving/chopping/splitting whatever. Could be awesome for the community

I hope you have a successful and prosperous 2020! Viva Lamaca!

Merry Christmas back to you. I wish I had some pine to buck, locks relaxing😂

My gosh your channel has grown , I think there were 500 and sum when I subscribed , and look at you now ! Still great content , love your channel Sisyphus !

same I pulled up in the driveway and seen lamaca I was like cool. #96 in the house.

"We have some tremendous science coming up." What a cliffhanger! Bonus points for the Cannibal. Looking forward to more content and nabbing a Lamaca of my own in 2020. Merry Axe-mas.

I have a Swiss miners axe and its also got a huge Ash handle.

ALL GOOD!

Your doing a great job. Any guess on the release of your splitter. I’m staying tuned.

I think it would be a good idea to do an axe arena with the lamaca versus some other popular options, would be interesting to see them both in the same wood

Merry sisymas! Looking forward to some more shoot outs!

Nice nice looking axes as for biking billy make his Handel like a drum stick with a egg corn tip on it then he will know what to do lol 😂 check out Iron horse on u tube he showed a very old axe head it is a in-resting head .look forward to some shop talk on wood verity Handel test 🤩🤩🤓🤩🤓🤩

lane I just got my axe this is Jeff in Michigan. it looks great I cant wait to burn the handle and stain just like buckin dose. axe number 96 in the house. yes Billy sent me my friend.

@@BushcraftSisyphus its been really mild here I got a feeling its going to continue. its like there using Michigan as a pivot point. every one is getting pounded and were not. I think we had a inch of snow so far. can I prepay for a early numbered next addition I call number 4. I cant use this axe but I have this urge to mess up some wood.

Billi told me to check you out 😁👋

What kind of steel do you use for your axes?

Hey Sisyphus, long post (sorry but couldn’t find an email). I discovered your channel over Christmas and have subsequently gone through you’re entire catalogue. I did notice one thing during your Axe Arena series Group H regarding your Bilnas 3lb Collared Axe with 26” handle. I have seen these patterns before and couldn’t understand why they were so popular. They look cool, but the narrow head means they should penetrate quite a ways in and likely get stuck (not a great quality for chopping). Also, the collar isn’t low enough to really protect from and over strike. Furthermore, the head angles down towards the handle, in essence shortening the overall length from the grip to the impact point, thus negating the power of the axe by an inch or two. As you had mentioned in another video, this equates to quite a big power difference. However, I think I see what this axe was really designed for: it’s not a chopper per say, but an axe/froe hybrid. The think, narrow blade penetrates deeper than a broad axe, and the elongated collar creates enough distributed surface area to pry the handle laterally, thus cracking out much larger chunks. (please reference this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXiostWlZ6jdibA.html). At first I could t see why this would be better than chopping with a big head, but it dawned on me, this is a variation on your Axiom that the right handle can make a small extra big. In this video, the acts being used is rather small, though that doesn’t seem to matter.In fact the smaller, LIGHTER axe means that the user can be significantly more accurate and fatigue far slower. Also, by reducing The number of chops made (and supplementing them with a prying motion) the total energy expended seems drastically reduced. This may, in fact, be an extremely efficient axe if one utilizes this technique. If not in time, then certainly in weight and calories (i.e., a perfect, light, all around bushcraft axe). Granted, this design comes from the land of evergreens, so it may not fair as well on a hardwood, but I know I would be certainly interested to see you test out your Bilnas again with this modified technique. Thank you for your time, and keep up the axe science videos! Edit: as an after thought, perhaps the ability to side pry chunks of wood out of a tree is why European handles tend to be ogre clubs (to provide lateral prying strength).

A man of science I see! We'll keep going, believe me. There are many lost knowledges out there we need to recover! 👍

I rate wood for handles by the Janka number. Other than osage orange, hickory is about the best.

Jeffrey Rubish I’m not trying to be a prick but that’s a very silly way to rate a handles usability. I understand that hardness comes into play when choosing a suitable wood to build a handle from. That being said, you need to balance a woods strength, durability, weight and flexibility. This isn’t me rushing to the defence of hickory, or turning my nose up to Orange Osage. I’m just tired of seeing the Janka Hardness numbers being touted as the be all end all of what makes a good handle. If hardness was the only factor that mattered people would be making axe handles out of metal. As a side note the Janka hardness test is designed for planks of wood more specifically to test a woods suitably for flooring. It doesn’t test a woods flexible or suitability as a striking material.

I love your videos dude, but sometimes you make them unbearable to watch with some of musical selections you choose. The Italian opera on the Raven axe, come on haha. No hate just thought I'd voice my opinion.
