My two cents on more words to describe this axe: modest, humble, unassuming, grounded, trusty, unpretentious, reliable, solid, firm, handy, weighty, sturdy, well-built, meticulous, hearty, burly, no-nonsense, direct, simple. I like holding it. I like swinging with it. I like the look of it. I like the feel of it. I like the weight of it. I like everything about it. I like it a lot.

Everything you mentioned is 100% right. Sturdy and well crafted. I did re edge it like you did and took the varnish off the handle to change it to just some boiled linseed which I like the feel of much better! Thanks for all the info you are the best!

Got one last year, pre covid, for $27, love it. Its been great around the house cutting wood for the firepit. Took it camping, lightweight and a great chopper. Ordered a kydex sheath for it, $22, keeps the edge protected. Recently bought a second one, the cheapest I could find it for was $35, most places had it at $52 !

Just picked one up on Amazon for $22. Gotta say it looks good from the handle to the head. Good grain orientation. Stupid shellac but looking forward to using it after some refurbishing. …Just came back from camping with my brothers. We beat the heck out of the Trail Boss and it kept on ticking! The handle is a bit large for the head but overall it rocks! It’s a beast and I’m looking forward to tricking it out!

I hope they're paying you for this review cuz my wife is like "This is the best commercial I think I've ever seen" and I respond "Ikr? I don't even need one, but now I want this damn axe.. o.o" We live in an apt. I don't have a use for that axe, wtf...

After watching this review, a few years ago, I bought two because they were so inexpensive. I've used them regularly and love them. I also followed Wranglerstar's other videos regarding axe care, rehandling... fantastic videos/ reviews/ information.

I bought the Trail Boss axe after watching this something like 5 years ago… been swinging it ever since - split wood with it today in fact which brought me back here. I don’t have anywhere near the Gransfors Bruk collection you do, but the mistakes/skills I learned swinging and caring for the Cold Steel have allowed me take better care of my properly nice axes. And with quality in mind, I take care of all my handles and store the axes in the same place through the winter and the Trail Boss is still rock solid whereas I’ve had 2 high end axes get loose. In all, I think this is one of your best recommendations from a shear value standpoint - even at todays price of $29

deathangellink with a machete you can't have too hard of a carbon steel. If you hit a rock or a knot you will chip your edge.

i know, but i believe that tramontina use 1045 or 1055 for their machete . and any blade will either chip or roll the edge on a rock test tramontina yourself, put a decent edge on one and go beat the sh*t of it. for the price you can't go wrong, SPECIALLY the camp knife with the 12 inch blade. personally i prefer to add some hockey stick on the handle for better grip, but it maybe because i am Canadian ho you can also try cold steel, a little bit more expensive but still affordable and the kraton handle will stick to your hand and is decently comfortable.

I'm from Brazil, and people here think Tramontina's machetes are too flexible, so they kinda "sing" if you don't hit with good edge alignment. The preferred brands here are Matão and Collins (the old ones, with wooden handles). But I think Matão only supplies locally, which are sturdier. I personally like tramontinas because they come with a good grind. I have one Matão and I had to put a bevel in it myself. Plus, Tramontinas are very cheap. Anyway, whatever you do, just DON'T buy a machete with a plastic handle. Wood handle or nothing.

I have this exact axe. I also love it. It is easy to sharpen and bites real good. Nice size for packing into the woods. I think I paid $24 on Amazon a few years ago. Enjoy the videos. Ray...Oklahoma

Not an axe junkie, but I do know that quality has a price. I never would have considered buying a $20 axe, because I wouldn't expect decent quality for such a low price. thanks Cody for showing us an axe video for the budget minded woodsman. Keep up the good work. take care, and God bless...

who the hell compensates for small body parts by paying for an expensive axe????? Americans are really dumb.

I got this ax for my b-day a year ago and I really do enjoy it. Swings great, cuts great, and fits under the spare tire cover in our car in case I need to ax something into submission whilst on the go.

I bought this axe and have used it to cut three probably medium sized trees on our property and it has held up really well. I've also used it in a lot of smaller projects and tasks. This axe is amazing for the price.

After owning this axe after you have recommended it, I did truly fall in love with it. The axe is still going strong with its original handle. With the pandemic upon us, I was looking to buy a brand new one as part of bug in kit, but the price went up, but I would still say it's well worth it. Plus Just like the video said, its cheap but well made.

That's the thing with Cold Steel. Every once in a while you get a really well made item for a good price. Other times, you get an item that shows no quality control what so ever. It's just hard to know what to expect when you order something from them.

You're thinking of 15 years ago. They've really amped up the quality control and materials. They still have some low priced stuff, but they also have a large percentage of really great blades made with steels like 52100, CTS-XHP and BD1, CPM-3V, and CPM-S35VN, not to mention some really excellent DSC Damascus. The days of hit or miss AUS-8 and VG-1 are pretty much gone. If you manage to break an SRK made with CPM-3V, chances are you were trying to drive railroad spikes or you picked a fight with Hephaestus, Greek God of blacksmithing and metallurgy.

I have several knifes from them, no quality issues as of yet. Only complaint is the tolerances on my folding pocket knife are so close that the lock gets jammed with pocket lint, but it's nothing a little water or a toothpick can't fix.

I might have pick one of these up after finding out it's from cold steel. I bought their Bowie style machete on a whim last year and figured it would be kinda gimmicky but after putting an edge on it I use it constantly for things like splitting lighter pine, hacking animal bones off when I skin something, or trimming limbs around the house. It was like $19 and I don't think you can possibly break the darn thing under any normal use. Ended up ordering 2 more incase they ever stop making them again like they did a few years ago.

You should do a series of going back over these product with their new price points and evaluate the consistency of their manufacturing over the years

I bought one a few weeks ago. I thought much the same about it when I looked it over. I bought a couple of boy scout axes in the mid 50's that were made by Plumb at that time fine hand forged thin axes. This axe, though not as finely finished, is a very well designed tool. Cost was less than $30.

This video answered a question I had that I was going to ask about servicing your tools while in the field. Using just a file and that cool little sharpening stone which would be light enough to pack you were able to put a decent edge on that axe. I am for sure going to for sure purchase that file and stone. I would assume you could do the same for a knife as well if you needed to. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in these videos.

Just ordered mine for $22.99,it was $49 before I used your link! And then got the hatchet for $23.19 too ! Be here Monday! Thank you for sharing this, I have been needing a decent pack axe-hatchet for a while now.

I like my Cold Steel axe, too. I got mine about the same time as you did. I made a leather sheath for my CS axe. It stands in the corner of the kitchen with my Husky Carpenters axe and 4.5# True Temper axe. I did take that Taiwan label off my axe.

What I like about your videos is that you are human, you respect your wife and son, you are brutally honest. Great channel. About the human part: I found myself yelling to you, "hey, the file is right next to you! Next to your boot! I laughed at myself while watching you search your pockets for the file. Hahaha. Because we all do the same thing. Please keep your channel going.

I want to see your whole axe collection! How do you store them?

My grandfather used to make his own axe heads but I wasn't taught how to make them from what I remember (I was babysit at age 5) he would bring home steel ingots that had a black tarnish and just clean it in some chemicals, then put in his forge for idk how many hours but he would take it out then with a welded on axe head hole on some block to the ground he would bend the ingot around the axe head hole, and shape it into an axe many times over and over, then once finished put it in fire and take out once really orange and dip it in some blackish oil. Finished product was a axe head around the hole was wider and the blade was thinner but dang I still use them and I don't even know how he made his own double bit axe

I own this axe as well as several other cold steel items. I am always impressed with their quality and value of their products..

This man gets deep when he's talking about his tools

I picked one up a few months ago, used it today in the rain to clear some branches from a downed tree in the middle of the forest path. I have to say, the price makes it so that it is so easy to not worry about it going to the ground, or getting wet, etc. It is a monster chopper, I would recommend it to anyone who is in need of this size of axe

watching this high aff and eating gushers at 11:58 pm, this is amazing keep up the good work

I love you're passion for steal and survivor elements and everything else you do keep it up man :D

When he realizes it has two round wedges tension mounting the head to the handle is when he just absolutely fell in love with it lol

They should use him on their advertisement for this axe. That was some high praise. 😂

I scraped off the sealant, carved a bit more curve into the back of the handle before the end to give it more bite in the hand similar to the Bruk, and then oiled it... Makes it amazing.

@Wranglerstar, I think it's time to do an update. Currently the Sanyi outdoor axe seems to be the raining champ on Amazon. Not in terms of performance, but in terms of price and 5-star reviews. The CS Trail Boss is bouncing between 50-65$ and the Sanyi outdoor axe is only 20$. For someone who's dirt poor, I'd love to know your thoughts on the best wood processing system to bring on a camping trip. My picks are; Mora Companion Heavy Duty (18$), Bahco Laplander (32$), and for axe (I don't knot yet...).
