Wow, they sold out in 3 hours! I’m truly blown away by this. Thank you so much. For those wondering, the next batch will be ready end of January and we are going to try and continue to have a batch of axes towards the end of each month. In order to find out exactly when they will go live on the site, sign up to the newsletter at www.taoutdoors.com/shop/taaxe and as soon as they are back in stock I will send out an email 👍🏻

Quick! I need you to grow another 100 year old Ash! I'll start on longevity drugs so I can get the batch of axes. I think my credit card will still be good in 2173.

Well then I need to know if you ship to Sweden or I need to ask help from a friend in the UK?

What an great vid! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike on this incredible axe project. I'm quite overwhelmed by the responses on here, thank you for all the kind comments. For those who missed out on the first batch, don't worry! The Forge is warming up for a second run ...

Amazing job and a beautiful and practical axe 👍

The way Joe quickly draws those contour lines on the handle you can tell he's a master craftsman and has made many tools in his time.

If you watch he never changes his grip on the pencil and uses his fingers as a guide. The outline was already formed by a template so it follows it.

Too kind!

That was the best informative video I think I've ever seen for axe forging. And I've seen them all I think. Great hatchet by the way.

What a great presentation...from beginning to end. The map, the journey past Stonehenge, and of course, the hundred year old stately ash. If I were younger, I would jump on one in a heartbeat. The price is very fair considering the workmanship in every aspect of production. The leather production alone, screams quality, historical significance, and perfection.

My guy, you should be paid to shill this hard. In fact, I already didn't like the presentation, and you have just made it even worse with your fake bullshit. 'The leather production screams quality,' are you a leather worker or a historian, how do you know what perfection is? The logic and reasoning in your comment screams idiocy, and I AM an expert in that.

One of your best videos ever. I’ve watched dozens of hours of axe making, but never seen the details of a tannery. Quite unbelievable to amount of work and time that goes into a simple piece of leather.

Man, this looks almost exactly like a Gransförs Bruck hatchet.... Lovely work!

"Waiting 'axe'-actly this long for the video? Axe-ellent anticipation! My channel's chopping up similar topics - let's 'axe-celerate' our shared love for all things axes!"

Congratulations in a beautiful custom hand axe and sheath. A lifetime tool. My bushcraft hand axe is a COUNCIL TOOL WOODCRAFT model. Made in USA. The poll is hardened to prevent mushrooming.

Having watched the whole process I am amazed at how you've managed to sell then at such a low price. Incredible craftsmanship.

What gorgeous craftsmanship and a beautiful story.

Everything about that axe looks outstanding, that guy Joe is a seriously talented craftsman. No surprise they sold out, superb.

Thanks for your kind words :)

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats!! You deserve this!

Wow, what an awesome video. Its good to see the full journey. I'd be proud to own one.

Very interesting to see the whole process! Very good craftsmanship! Very nice work from everyone involved in the process!

16 mins of ultimate joy. This story was amazing. Thankyou for the video!!

I hope everyone has an amazing new year start. Cheers!

That looks like some quality, and more importantly, traditional manufacturing, resulting in an exquisite tool that will probably last someone a lifetime. If I didn't have three other axes already, I'd be all over this, but I do, so...

Old world craftsmanship is the best..🙏

Awesome video man! That’s so cool thanks for sharing every step of the process! Really makes me appreciate the craftsmanship and the fact it’s all locally sourced to you.

My Agawa Canyon axe arrived yesterday, and now you have me drooling over another one before I even had a chance to use it. 🤤

I honestly got shivers when you showed that great ash tree laying on the forest floor. There's just something about trees that is just so majestic.

A beautiful example of British craftsmanship, lovely Mike.

Great video! You're one of the reasons I made a channel myself, thank you!

And they're gone! Awesome Vid mate.

Man that really puts it into perspective the quality of work that goes into things.

Awesome work lads. 👏

It's beautiful. I have the axe that my dad made, it's old and battered but still feels better in my hand than others that I own.

Beautiful little hatchet. Great to get it made in England, supporting local craftsmen. Always a good thing!

Amazing view in to that great looking axe you have designed an to joe making it a peace of art congratulations to you both an good luck on your journey

AWESOME video, back story and axe! SO very well done! KUDOS! Love the documentary style narration!

Thanks for showing us the story of the axe :) sold out man, wow :)

Wow- awesome video and product!! Congrats on this success!

A fascinating process showing how to make something properly and what a premium axe,now at the top of my wish list 👍

Beautiful work!

I’m glad you’re doing these bud

Do you make your own knives the craftsmanship that's gone into this is amazing.The old trades need to keep going 👍

What a dream realized! The planning, the prep work, the execution & now the distribution...all that, so that we too could enjoy a beautiful piece of history (the ash tree) & exceptional craftsmanship the serves small business, men & women. Way to go. Love your channel & so stoked I'll be able to have my very own TA Outdoors axe!

Hi Mike! I'm 12 and we talked a while back. For the holidays I got Dave Canterbury's set of four Bushcraft books. And that got me thinking. Have you thought about writing a Bushcraft book? I think you're one of the best people for that. You are great at explaining things, and you're also good at demonstrating how to do things. Well, please consider this..... You did a great job with the axe! Thanks!😀

It's a beauty. Looks like it has a substantial head. Too many small axes have heads that are too light. Defeats the purpose of an axe.

Great video,, great British skills hopefully we won't lose

Love your videos, man. happy you could finally get the hatchet made!!!

Came for the smithing, stayed for the section on the Tannery! Super interesting video!!👍

One of the best videos ever❤

Great looking hatchet

Thank you and the team for my axe 🪓 008 great hand made tool ! Looking forward to putting it to a good use 👍 keep up your great content 👍

What a corker No.8 is! I seem to remember it having some incredible grain patterns on the handle.

Dude, good for you. Looks Fab. Smashing video, very informative. Im not surprised they sold out 🫡

Beautiful! If I ever have need of a bushcraft axe this is the one I want.

Congratulations Sir! Bushcraft tea and medals for your fabulous creation. Very satisfying.

Super video. Hand crafted tools and artisan makers.

This is one of my favourite bushcraft videos ever! I missed out buying an axe…. :( but I will try again brilliant work.

Excelent marketing ...bravo! Also, good product manual made quality.. rade these days. Excelent guys, just proceed like that... Maybe You will not earn much money, but experience is priceless... Regards from Serbia!

Thank you for this video. Looks like a fine product. I will have to keep an eye peeled in January.

Good looking axe young man.

By the time I am able to afford one, I hope one is available! It's a beautiful tool.

Congrats Mike. That is so much more than an axe. I hope your holidays are joyous and you get to relax with the family.

What a great video we have fun watching this❤

Impressive, I love the traditional nature of the production. It gives it soul. Thanks for sharing.

One coming to Spain soon 😎♥️ awesome!

Well done Mike, they really do look great. Nice to see them sold out quickly. I think i need to contact the leather company to get some leather, they're in the same country as me so i might be able to go there. Half a cow should be enough leather, i just need to make another 10 guitar straps. Happy whatever festival everyone. 🎉🥳🥂

Well worth a visit if you can. That place is stuck in time. Genuinely feels 150 years old when you walk around it.

Thank you, I enjoy your videos

JUST WOW! I don't think I have ever seen this process! Great! and congratulations!

Absolutely amazing - So good that people are still doing this kind of thing from the tanning and forging right through to your finished axe... Well done, you deserve to feel very proud.

Outstanding!!

Fantastic looking camp axe/hatchet! AMAZING price considering the materials and craftsmanship put into these! I'd gladly pay $10k for 12 of them!

Beautiful, man.

We need the TA knife! 🙌🏼

Best advert so far

Beautiful!

Making a set of primitive tool axes and hardening them is also very technical and skillful

Thankyou for going into detail on this, absolutely brilliant!

Beautiful tool. Congratulations on sticking with the project...

Congratulations mate

great story mike and a fine axe

want one!!!!! and thank you for using a "local tannery"

Wow! You should be proud! What a beautiful thing!

Good looking axe

Outstanding.

Congratulations! That's such a great legacy! You should be so proud! What a beautiful axe!!

Well that worked. I want one now.

Beautiful

Beautiful ❤

Great sentimental tool.

Dude... total respect from start to finish, %100 to you and everyone involved, truly mean that.... however...I hate to say it, but it's far from economical for the majority that would rather simply modify their techniques to use what they can afford Personally, even though being more well off than some, personally, I'd rather run through we'll say 3 "average" axes over 5+ years for still half the price... Respect the dedication and craft, but sadly in today's age, most average people would agree bc most can't afford it I hope you continue to do what you enjoy and spread the positive lifestyle that is being lost, but in reality, it's gotta be more commercially viable and accessible to the majority

Happy Christmas to you and your family look forward to seeing what you n your dad get up to in 2024.

Fantastic English made product all round 👏 well done everyone involved 👍

The axe looks awesome, I would love to see a TA outdoors bushcraft knife coming soon. I have knives but not a quality bushcraft knife.

Thanks for Sharing

What an excellent video I watched recommended by dad, awesome project and very well narrated Mike.👍

Very good narrating on this video Mike! Well done! You have a very pleasant voice to listen to. Great job, over an awesome craftsmanship video of your product. 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼

Merry Christmas Family 🎅 🥂 🥂!!!🔥

Thanks for a different type of video, interesting and inspiring video about craftsmanship. To be honest I have a few aces and hatchets My better half Will not have more of them in and around the house. Merry christmas everybody

Gutted I missed out on one, hope you manage to get more.

No words to describe the quality of the axe, the handle and the sheath as well. You, young man can be considered a very model of a craftsman for the actual 'no purpose' generation. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 fro an old man - Brazil 🇧🇷 P.s.: I find interesting the use of a light wood such as ash wood to make axes handles. We do not have ash in our country so we generally use hard and heavy woods for this purpose.
