I think a better comparison would be a tomahawk verses heavy machetes like the Ontario US ARMY 1-18 (and your Wolverine). Hatchets and axes like the GBSFA are not for solo trekking on foot at all. If you have a pack animal, cart, wagon or vehicle then axes and hatchets become viable.
I'm sure Dan is a nice fella but "...what most people don't realize is, axes are the original chainsaw" @ 1:10 is the dumbest quote I've heard in a while. Really Dan? I always thought the cavemen invented chainsaws hundreds of years before the axe. And his "brutally hard" power poles are pine. Aside from that nonsense, you seem to have a pretty useful tool there in the Wolverine.
How well does it baton? What steel are you using? How thick is the spine? Any added weight to the blade will give each chop more bang for its buck, but still keeping it as a lighter option over an axe will win over a lot of back packers/minimal survivalists. I would highly consider it in a only can have one cutting tool option, if I could see it perform some more tasks and to see some more specs. Great design. Looking forward to seeing more of the Wolverine in the future.
I live in central Canada, and I've got to agree with the guy in this video, overall at least in this climate having an axe is really crucial, but your wolverine is definitely a tool I'd like to put in my pack as a back up, or not even a back up but more of an "I also have" tool
Ha ha ha a wolverine?? What is that?? Come on folks, learn to use an axe and thats it.. That other piece of wanna be machete is going to fail: tjeck the screws out on the handle.. Bye bye screws, and bye bye survival trip. LOL, think people. This is nonsense.
If I was using a pick up to get around I'd go with the axe but if I was backpacking the Wolverine seems much lighter and more versatile. Could hack through brush like a machete and double as a big knife.
Is this thing going to be available for sale? I have been trying to find it on some sites because I really want one but I'm thinking a may have to revert to making my own.
@joelcarb people that camp, people that practice survival/self-reliance skills, people who dont want to lug a heavy noisy chainsaw around, etc... but mostly, the people that use "this shit anymore" are the guys who ARENT sitting on thier ass inside all day.
It would be hard to gut/ skin an animal in a survival situation with an axe, and in a "72 hours" survival type situation, in a tight space would be hard to use. My vote's for the wolverine
just make it thicker. if the blade was as thick as the cold steel Gurkha Kukri which is 5/16ths it would be just enough weight to chop like an axe. just a thought. peace
I've been building bows for a long time. I could see a definite interest from a bow making point of view. Especially the draw knife/finer control cuts that the wolverine could make. You definitely would make a bow easier in a survival situation with the wolverine.
A freak martian makes some good points though. The fact that the axe is just a solid bit of steel and the handle is replaceable while the wolverine is not, is a big problem. If the "handle" portion metal breaks, your out of luck.
I think this is Test in inaccurate. The wolverine seems like a slash weapon, not a woodcutting tool. The axe is specifically build for chopping wood. i think you should have tested both on something that slashes as well. The wolverine does not seem like it was build for wood.
Why would this be an improvement from a kukri, parang, machete and so on? It looks interesting but I think there are great models of knifes like this already
I like both tools, and own neither... I do have a wetterlings SFA which is very similar to the GB though, and as hard as the power pole seemed to be, both tools would have chopped better with it out on the ground rather than in the bed of your truck. That's where the axe has the edge (npi) most chopping is done on objects below your waist, and the angular leverage that can be applied to an axe with 2 hands is much greater. The other tool benefited greatly from the log being up at waist height,
There are very few people left who know how to handle an ax. This guy is pretty decent, much better than I, but not the best I've seen. He has good basic technique and a purposeful methodology. He starts by trying to chop out large chips, but he quickly realizes the wood is not chipping out. You can see that he adjusts to make smaller chips. Once he finds a width that chips out easily, he makes cuts across the mouth and comes back and chips them all out.
Why are "experienced woodsmen" always bad with axes on YouTube? A real experienced woodsmen can swing from all the way back and hit accurately on a pole like that and do so all day long once they fall into a good pace. Go to more rural areas for such people. :)
Where I would disagree with your expert - not being an expert (actually, probably not yet qualified enough to even say that I'm an "amateur", LOL) ...
My control re doing any kind of 'fine' work is minimal - as is probably the case with a great many people - SO, your Wolverine would be preferable. I could still use it as an axe (baton style) albeit not to build a cabin ;-), but would feel more confident about controlling it when doing other things (fine work) too! Just imho ;-).
Refine it with a high carbon steel and remove the nail hole.....Id buy it. IT cut that in hafl the time compared to the axe. Its not going to be as comfortable as an axe but it would be an awesome tool and looks incredible.
You should let someone else test them in your videos. There is a clear bias in every video you make. You swing more vigorously when using your own tool. You might not even realize you're doing it... shrug.
If you ever want to sell those, you will have clients.
In Europe region there is no bush ang large grass greenlands, so for hiking and outdoor it's ideal tool (cause some ideas is taken from russian machette too). One thing i could say, thicker steel in this project, more weight in front of head/machette.
His indecision to choice does speak to the usability of the wolverine. He definitely said he would carry both if could. Good on you! Make them available to purchase and I think you'll be surprised how many sell.
Cool invention just not practical survival/camping gear. It doesn't do the job of a small camping axe, and it probably weighs more because it's all metal + the handle can't be replaced if you break it. It's not as light as machete and it seems wield-ee, something you would end up planting in your leg. And last but not least it's not a knife. The problem with creating a multi-survival tool is compromise. Your better off with a good knife and a small axe and a folding saw thrown in your pack.
i agree with your expert. but i think the advantage of the axe is so close to your design thats its barely on top. i can see a couple things you could do to yours to get it just as good but probably better. at the same time, the wolverine could probably be put to more use than the axe in places where clearing brush and making snares is more important than chopping trees. it depends on the survival situation... as for me, id would still take the axe but great design. the spetznas doesnt comeclose
Whats the hell he calls that woodchoping ? Did you ever chop the woods by axe ? I especially dont say that your axe is a piece of crap. Doesnt matter that his blade is sharp its too small. Tj chop the wood it must be broad and wedge type. If i were you i will be tired to death after first wood with that axe and that chopping technique you use. F...ing shame !! And the wolverine too more suit to cut small woods .bush and other. You will spend all day if you cut that piece of wood like you do.
@toamakuta That front portion of the blade looks just like a skinning knife right... Thats also one thing you cant do with an axe..,,,,or at least not very well.
a tree saw is also only good for one thing...cross cutting. You couldn't build a four season shelter, traps, a bow, wedges, firewood, kindling, ect with something like a sawvivor.
@GodKronos1337 the sawvivor is an incredibly bad an inefficient saw, compared to something like a bahco laplander (not to mention the crappy construction with freaking pop rivets). check out the comparo by wranglerstar: watch?v=3I55hiyKs4g
@ramusling Whats properly? Because you dont explain what he's doing wrong nor do you have a video of how to use one properly! I'm guessing your just a youtube expert.
Sure an axe is better for chopping a pole but your not going to skin and break down a deer with it. When weight and versatility are taken into consideration, the Wolverine would be first choice, for my kit. Good job mate.
@Staysharp13 ,for me the wolverine is too big to skin a deer.Much too big in fact.The axe is good for boney parts the 4inch blade knife takes care of the rest.
this was a good result for your wolferine..the woodsman guy put it just a few seconds behind his axe..and he used the axe all his life..that means your wolferine is pretty good..
If you're going to sell these wolverines how much would the small, medium, large cost?
Btw, very fair comparison. no biased opinions. every tool has a task that it excels at and others that it doesn't. I could see the axe being a better chopper and splitter of course but the wolverine has definitely got some versatility in it.
Large knife vs. axe; Knife wins every time in the real world, especially in a survival situation. An axe uses WAY to much energy and caloric consumption not to mention fatigue on the user being nearly four times that of an adequate large survival blade.
wow dude, you put a nice edge on that, did you do it yourself? sometimes when im using my GB SFA, i feel like im abusing it because its such a fine piece of art.
i like your concept for the wolverine. but i can't really see it being better than an axe where an axe is called for. and it is true, to few people carry axes. i would like to see you compare the wolverine with a few big knives: Trailmaster, RTAK, Kabar Bowie...
Ax wins when cutting telephone poles... I rarely cut telephone poles. Mostly I look for something I can actually wield with precision and use in a variety of ways. Looks like the wolverine would meet most of my needs cutting things smaller than 5" in diameter. In fact, most of my swings are at things even smaller than that. I don’t want to lift a heavy ax head if I don’t have to.

Sk8RJOSH94: Tactical version? How can you get any more 'tactical' than this? And what is your definition of 'tactical', anyway?

this was a good result for your wolferine..the woodsman guy put it just a few seconds behind his axe..and he used the axe all his life..that means your wolferine is pretty good..

very nice if you add a gut hook and a saw back on the forward half it would be an amazing tool

If you're going to sell these wolverines how much would the small, medium, large cost?
Btw, very fair comparison. no biased opinions. every tool has a task that it excels at and others that it doesn't. I could see the axe being a better chopper and splitter of course but the wolverine has definitely got some versatility in it.
Thanks-Jeff

Large knife vs. axe; Knife wins every time in the real world, especially in a survival situation. An axe uses WAY to much energy and caloric consumption not to mention fatigue on the user being nearly four times that of an adequate large survival blade.

i like your concept for the wolverine. but i can't really see it being better than an axe where an axe is called for. and it is true, to few people carry axes. i would like to see you compare the wolverine with a few big knives: Trailmaster, RTAK, Kabar Bowie...

Ax wins when cutting telephone poles... I rarely cut telephone poles. Mostly I look for something I can actually wield with precision and use in a variety of ways. Looks like the wolverine would meet most of my needs cutting things smaller than 5" in diameter. In fact, most of my swings are at things even smaller than that. I don’t want to lift a heavy ax head if I don’t have to.
Thanks for the vid!
