What´s better then a Gränsfors Bruk ?

[wescobts]

Good things happen to good people :)

It is such a pleasure to see how genuine you are and that is so refreshing. I am glad your axe finally came "home"

All the best from the states.

[Waldhandwerk]

@wescobts Hi, thank you so much! ...very nice. Have a great Day, Sepp

[Lean540]

Beautiful!

[Waldhandwerk]

@Lean540 Thank you.

[Eurijka]

I like the GB, certainly has more character now! very cool.

[Waldhandwerk]

@Eurijka ...thank you very much, I think the same. Best wishes, Sepp

[CitroTeam]

He was lucky not to be found by someone else.

[Waldhandwerk]

@CitroTeam ...haha, ...yes, we often talked about, how happy the lokal hunter will be, ...but He found back ; ) All the best, Sepp

[SurivalWienerWald]

Hm… was könnte besser sein … Also ich finde das Fiskars eine tolle Arbeit macht ;)

[boomer10151711]

Grear story, great tool. Thanks

[GETSOMEMONEY69]

sau gaschtiger Akzent gfällt mir gut ;) Grüße aus Würzburg

[Waldhandwerk]

@GETSOMEMONEY69 ;-) ...vielen Dank. Lieber Gruß Sepp

[SigMan68]

Glad that you have it back where it belongs. I think that it looks even more beautiful now.

[Waldhandwerk]

@SigMan68 Thank you very much, ...I also like the "new" look ; ) Happy Sunday, Sepp

[ModernNorseman]

I am glad the hatchet was found again Sepp! This is a good example of the quality of these axes

[Waldhandwerk]

@ModernNorseman Thank you, yes my friend, ...the axe head ok..., but I have also still the same handle on it! Really a great tool. Have a fine weekend, Sepp

[bikenutter1]

You now have a wonderful story to tell about your axe! It will always feel special to you. Some might say , it has "zen" (Bhuddism)

It was a nice story to hear Sepp. :)

[Waldhandwerk]

@bikenutter1 Thanks again, my good friend! Have a wonderful Day! ; ) ZEN, I like.

[guns4funca]

Great channel we are subbing. Good looking stuff.

[Waldhandwerk]

@guns4funca Hi Justin, hi Jana, thank you so much, you have a great channel too! All the best and Happy New Year, Sepp

[chrisdeli7158]

[Waldhandwerk]

@chrisdeli7158 Hi, ...on the River Isar, near Bad Toelz in upper Bavaria. Thanks and see you, Sepp

[borderraven]

The older axe has more character.

[Waldhandwerk]

@borderraven ...thanks, yes ; )

[SugarcreekForge]

Oh, man, I love those hatchets. They look wonderful. I want to forge some old school hatchets like that. I have some "Pignut Hickory" which is the toughest subspecies of Hickory and want to use that for the handles.

[Waldhandwerk]

@SugarcreekForge Very cool, ...to be able to make a beauty like this yourself, would be perfect. ...please make a shout when you make a video from it! All the best, Sepp

[SugarcreekForge]

@Waldhandwerk I will do that for sure.  Thanks!

[032125]

I am reminded of the old rhyme "If you love something, set it free if it comes back, it was meant to be. If it continues to fly, let it soar, have faith that God has something better in store."

That really is your axe.

[Waldhandwerk]

@032125 Hi, ...thank you very much, ...cool comment and so truth! Have a good time and a Happy New Year, Sepp

[DackIsBack]

You wouldn't be German by any chance? :p

Awesome channel, subbed immediately.

[Waldhandwerk]

@DackIsBack Hi Dack, ...ahm ...No! ...im from Austria ; )) ...ok, I live in Bavaria for nearly 14 yrs. now ; ) Thanks again and I am glad you liked the stuff! Happy Holidays, Sepp

[NorthSurvival]

That's a really good axe, handmade ax head, hickory shaft, a real quality axe, and ofcourse it is SWEDISH. I am soon going to buy this axe but with the 65 cm shaft.

I am glad you found your old axe, it's never fun to lose anything, and especially not your axe.

/NorthSurvival

[Waldhandwerk]

@NorthSurvival Thanks, my good friend, ...it´s a great tool, ...cool with the Large hunting axe, have fun with it! Have a great time and we see us, Sepp

[jimmyggh1]

What is better than a GB? NICHTING!

[Waldhandwerk]

@jimmyggh1 ...you´re right, my friend ; ) Have a good one!

[fixt100]

i really think your onto something having the axes in that bag almost looks like it was made for them to be in,, great axes and great vid!

[Waldhandwerk]

@fixt100 ...cool thought ; ) Thanks a lot and have a fine Day, Sepp

[ajason69]

Great video. Beautiful country. Will have to get one of those. Thanks for sharing...

[Waldhandwerk]

@ajason69 Hi, thanks a lot, ...cool, take care and have fun with it! Happy Weekend, Sepp

[555Nato]

Your older hatchet definitely has got character after going through that 'rough period' :-)

It shows .

[Waldhandwerk]

@555Nato ...yes indeed, ...and a piece of soul ; )) Thanks for watching!

[555Nato]

@Waldhandwerk ,I love soul in 'things'.I also believe that houses can have souls.Those are the ones here many people have lived in the passed.

They have more atmosphere.Which is nice.

[cekinxxx]

how old is the axe? they are both very nice,would love to have one

[Waldhandwerk]

@cekinxxx Hi, i bought and lost it in 2010, after 6 month. ...the long time in the wood makes the old style ; ) Thanks and all the best, Sepp

[cekinxxx]

@Waldhandwerk hahaha, very old axe

[knivesandstuff]

Very nice and lucky to find your old axe. is that the small forest, or hunters axe? Have you tested the Vintage one? I'm curious if the wood is still full structural integrity.

I just bought a wetterlings and have Axe Envy now.! lol..

[Waldhandwerk]

@knivesandstuff Hello Kyley, yes indeed ...so much luck. It´s the GB Wildmarksbeil, 34 cm, 0,7 kg called in german, I have used it a few times meanwhile, but just to make firewood, ...it works like a new one (with soul ; ) ...thanks for watching and commenting my video! Have a great Day, Sepp

[knivesandstuff]

@Waldhandwerk Very Good.. I am very interested in doing some video series showing an Axe used as a multipurpose tool for food prep, (hunting and skinning I cannot do 'vegetarian') and all round uses as a quality hatchet was done in the old days. If you have inclination to do some videos like this I'd love to see them ! :)

Thanks Sepp

[PHARRAOH]

lucky find

[Waldhandwerk]

@PHARRAOH ...yesss ; ) thanks and see you, Sepp

[jjaayypp963]

Great looking bag that you got for a present! Awesome that you got your hatchet back! Good job on the clean up! Something don't have to look pretty, to be a great and usefull tool! The aged look just gives it character, and maybe a little more sentimental value, concidering all that it has been through! They say if you love something, set it free, and if it comes back, then it was meant to be. Your little hatchet was meant for you, a great tool, for a great person! Be safe, & God Bless..

[Waldhandwerk]

@jjaayypp963 Hi Jay P. my good friend, thank you very much. Yes, a beautiful gift, and from you a very good proverb ; ) I like! Thanks for watching and commenting! Blessings Sepp

[phagomir]

[inisch]

Hi Sepp,

Quality never goes out of style :)

[Waldhandwerk]

@oregonmikes Hi Mike, my good friend, thanks a lot, ...you´re right ; ) Happy Day, Sepp

[wawhiker]

That is a very fine leather pouch Sepp - so many uses for a well crafted bag. Yes, vintage hatchet with a story to tell - it looks great - lot's of TLC brought it back! (Tender loving care)!

[Waldhandwerk]

@wawhiker Hi my good friend, haha, TLC, cool ; ) yes, the bag is great. Love the leather stuff. ...and the axe. Thanks a lot and take care, Sepp

[ElectrikHellfire]

Nice axes Sepp. I am always inspired by your videos and I am anxious to get back into the woods but it is about 102 F here in Texas right now.  Must wait....

[Waldhandwerk]

@ElectrikHellfire Hi my friend, thanks a lot! Glad to hear. Wow, that´s hot..., ...I wish you a "cool" time and hope we see us soon again, Sepp

[RainforestRobin]

This is beautiful Sepp!! I love the bag, and how beautiful the axes are. I am SO happy that you found them! That is SO cool. What a great story. I also LOVE your sense of humor. You are a natural at doing these video. Also, the country there is SOOOOO beautiful. Pristine-looking. Thank you dear friend. :)

[Waldhandwerk]

@RainforestRobin ...I do not know anyone who is as natural as you, Robin! Thank you so much my good friend. ...and please remember, Munich Airport and I pick you up, haha. You and your husband and family are very welcome. Have a great Day and take care, Sepp

[RainforestRobin]

@Waldhandwerk This is SO sweet of you Sepp. Maybe one day we will all meet. I love Germany!! Once lived there for a short time. So beautiful. People were so kind. Thank you for all your kindness!! :) :)

[MegaSurvivalman]

My friend you are very lucky to have found your tool in one piece. :) try a double coat of cherry wood stain and finishing coat on the handle and a steel wool accessory on your drill. Best of luck.

[Waldhandwerk]

@MegaSurvivalman Hello my friend, thanks a lot, ...also for your interesting tip. I´ll try it now in this form, because as long as the stuff work it´s good enough for me, ...but you´re right, it´s always possible to make things a little better ; ) So thanks again and have a great Day, Sepp

[CdnLifeguard71]

Looks like you've got double trouble on your hands Sepp. Great job on the refinishing of the "vintage" axe. Your right now you have put your own stamp on that one.

Nate

[Waldhandwerk]

@CdnLifeguard71 Hi Nate, my good friend, thank you so much. Haha, yes, stamp, character and soul, ...everything a good axe need : ) All the best, Sepp

[saradreaming]

Hi Sepp, Very nice video. Your vintage ax looks really cool now. Maybe you should leave the new one out in the woods for a while so that you can have a matching set.

: )

[Waldhandwerk]

@saradreaming Hello Sara, my dear friend, thank you, cool that you like the look. ...I leave to often something in the woods....; ( ...and Survivalmike is not always by my side ; ) but funny idea, haha. Have a great Day, Sepp

[fog360]

great kit bud.

[Waldhandwerk]

@fog360 Thanks, bud ; ) 

[007vauxhall]

You did a good job on the Granfors axe Sepp, nice to be reunited together.haha. Great video. Many thanks :-)

[Waldhandwerk]

@007vauxhall Hello my good friend, thank you very much! Reunited, haha, like tho old music Bands, cool : ) Have a good week, Sepp

[Ggreenvideos]

It's amazing how the head looks exactly like the Wetterlings. The sheath is probably made by the same company :o) The new antique looks sweet...hehe! Very cool looking bag Buddy!

[Waldhandwerk]

@Ggreenvideos Hi Rich, Buddy, thanks, yes it´s so cool to have it back ; ) ...in the forums they say it´s the same holding company...!? How ever, both are great Bushcraft tools ; ) Have a good Day, Sepp

[Ggreenvideos]

@Waldhandwerk Hey buddy, you should paint the end of the handle orange...hehe ;o) My father did that for many years :o)

[Waldhandwerk]

@Ggreenvideos Hey Rich, cool idea ; ) ...that´s why Mike use orange paracord for his lanyards! ...I fear my soul is too black for this, haha. Happy Day, Sepp

[Ggreenvideos]

@Waldhandwerk Haha! Hey buddy, if your soul is black then mine must be rotten...haha!

[chillymywilly]

That axe looks good like that Sepp. Its got some real character to it.

[Waldhandwerk]

@chillymywilly Hi my good friend, thanks a lot, "character" is a cool term for it ; ) Happy Day, Sepp

[WestwoodOutdoor]

Hi Sepp. Sach mal welches Beil hatteste denn in den 8 Monaten dabei wenn du des verloren hast? oder hatteste keins mit genommen? Nettes Video und kulise is der Wahnsin.

Gruß

Westwood

[Waldhandwerk]

@WestwoodOutdoor Hallo, danke und sehr nett wenn es Dir hier gefällt ; ) ...ich hatte so ein blaues 15 Euro Baumarkt Beil am Start und dann nach ca. 6, 7 Wochen habe ich mir wieder eine GB gekauft, macht doch etwas mehr Spaß. Lieber Gruß Sepp

[steintanz]

... ich find, sie schaut jetzt noch viel "echter" aus. Grüße, Tim

[Waldhandwerk]

@steintanz Hallo Tim, mein guter Freund. Ja, wie ein altes Ritter Beil, voll cool ; ) hoffe Du siehst sie bald mal live! Lieber Gruß Sepp

[Unterwasserstation]

Ja, das sind wirklich tolle Werkzeuge ! Prima Video ! Hat mir gefallen ! ...und mein Rasierzeug kann nun zu Hause im Bad bleiben ! Grüsse von olle Güni

[Waldhandwerk]

@Unterwasserstation Hallo Güni, mein Freund, Danke, danke ; ) ...das mit dem rasieren hatte ich mir auch kurz überlegt, dann aber lieber sein gelassen haha. Toll wenn´s Dir gefallen hat. LG Sepp

[Bushwhittler]

Really nice job with the axe! Has nice patina and it has a great story to be told on camp fire :D

Have a nice week Sepp!

Ari

[Waldhandwerk]

@Bushwhittler Hi Ari, thank you very much, ...cool with the camp fire story ; ) you´re right with it! Have a good week too, my friend, Sepp

[Smith28Adventure]

Very lucky Sepp, love the vintage look of the recovered axe! I like how you said it's not just any axe now.. it's YOUR axe. :)

[Waldhandwerk]

@Smith28Adventure ;-) thank you so much, my good friend. Yes, now "she" has a big soul, haha. Glad you liked it. Have a good Day, Sepp

[SpartanJohns]

die alte schaut richtig gut aus. mir gefallt sie besser als die neue...

habe zu erst gedacht das holz wurde die 7 monate in schnee und wasser nicht aushalten. aber guck da es tut sich gut anstellen.

[Waldhandwerk]

@SpartanJohns Hallo John, vielen Dank, ...ja das haben wir auch immer gesagt, ..."da liegt bestimmt nur noch der Metallkopf der Axt" ...aber nein, der Stiel ist ebenfalls prima. Spitzen Qualität! Lieber Gruß Sepp

[RDPproject]

That 'Vintage' look is really nice Sepp.

Its a great Axe and someday I will own one myself. Its on my list of things to buy when I start working fulltime again.

The axe was made by MM....who made the new one that you have?

[Waldhandwerk]

@RDPproject Hi Rob my good friend, thank you very much, when you like it, it must be alright ; ) Good question with MM, all axes we know are from MM, Mike, Chris, ...always MM, he must be the most industrious staff at GB ; ))) Hope you get your Axe soon, it´s much fun to work with. All the best, Sepp

[klenerGiotto]

Was ist besser als jede Axt? na die Videos vom Waldhandwerk und vom Survivalmike ;)

Dann werd ich mal auf eine Sparen. So scharf wie deine Vintage-Axt jetzt wieder ist bekomme ich meine im Leben nicht :D

Grüß mir die Natur,

Lukas

[Waldhandwerk]

@klenerGiotto Hallo lieber Lukas, : ) vielen Dank, ich/wir fühlen uns sehr geehrt. Eine GB lohnt sich immer zu kaufen ...und das Coole, frisch aus der Verpackung haben sie schon ungefähr diese Schärfe ; ) ...also Vorsicht bitte. Dir einen schönen Tag und lieber Gruß Sepp auch für Mike.

[survivalmike]

Gern geschehen mein Freund :-)

Toll, wie du die Axt wieder auf Vordermann gebracht hast! Schaut sogar um Längen besser aus als die Neue *ggg*

Have fun with it and get used to it!

All the best from the rainy Salzburg

Mike

[Waldhandwerk]

@survivalmike Hallo Mike, Adlerauge ; ) ..ja, Du wirst den neuen Look lieben und bleibst einer der wenigen, dem ich sie auch gerne leihe, haha. Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Einsatz damit. Mach Dir einen schönen Tag, mein Freund, Sepp

[Naturliebe]

Hi Sepp,

super da ist ja Deine alt-neu Axt... wieder einsatzbereit.

Sieht jetzt auch sehr Antik aus. (Ötziaxe) :-D

Alles Gute.

LG Tito

[Waldhandwerk]

@Naturliebe Hallo Tito, schön wieder von Dir zu hören, ...und so schnell : ) Ja, mir taugt sie jetzt auch volle! Einen schönen Tag noch, Sepp

[patje0109]

Your axe has a really nice "old" patina now I like it!

Also the leather pouch is very nice to collect things in. I'm keeping all the leather I can find (even from old shoes or boots) to make things myself.

Groetjes

Patje

[Waldhandwerk]

@patje0109 Hi Patje, thanks you! Cool with the old leather stuff. Really a good idea! Groetjes ; ) Sepp

[ColinOutdoors]

Hi Sepp, beautiful leather bag. Your vintage GB axe looks very cool now. Looks like its 100 years old. Glad SurvivalMike found it, now you have 2 :-) Have a great week my friend.

[Waldhandwerk]

@ColinOutdoors Hi Colin, thank you very much, my good friend. ...yeah´ I also like the new old look : ) Good bye and see you, Sepp

[Sprechblase123]

Ned schlecht ausgerüstet bist jetzt. Wenn Du wieder mal deine Axt "versteckst", mach doch nen Geocaching-Wettbewerb draus, dann müsste ich keine kaufen... :-)

[Waldhandwerk]

@Sprechblase123 Ha´ coole Idee, ...und dann gebe ich die Daten nur Dir : ) Lieber Gruß Sepp PS: ...so ein Teil lohnt sich aber wirklich!

[270Buckhunter]

Both those axes look brilliant Sepp.... Your old axe looks way better now that you've cleaned it up.... Great video! and great axes!!! - Shea

[Waldhandwerk]

@270Buckhunter Hi Shea, my dear friend, thanks a lot, ...yes, I love them both, haha. Have a great Day, Sepp

[mazadan]

good video Sepp as usual. by the way the medicine pounch as used by the Native americans is a small pouch worn around the neck and contained small totem items known as medicine. medicine in native american terms is different to our term of medicine. nice axes will be doing a video soon on doing what is know as london stocl finish on the hafts

[Waldhandwerk]

@mazadan Hi Peter, cool, thanks. All the best and see you, Sepp
