i do love your guys vids.

but why dont you do a comparison between the ka-bar and a real axe.

why do you prefer knife processing to axe processing?

just curious. im new to either one.

We don't use an axe much. A knife can never replace an axe, but you can prepare plenty of firewood in most environements with a larger knife. A knife is easier to use and control than swining a larger or heavy axe or hatchet. Also a knife is lighter and easier to carry than most axes or hatchets. We find that a knife is also more versatile and will do several jobs well to justify the weight of carry verses an axe or hatchet that are single task heavy tools.

YOU ROCK!!!!!

You can tell from that hatchet head geometry that it's designed to facilitate skinning, like an ulu, and thus is primarily a hunting hatchet. Such a hatchet allows you to carry a small crazy sharp knife like a mora, as an old-fashioned combo. There's an old saying -- a hatchet can do almost anything an outdoor knife would do, but not vice-versa. It's not a better-worse issue -- it's an option that's supported by a century of woods practice.

You have the earlier model I have just bought this kit and the tang on the hatchet Is full and they slimmed down the blade on the knife

DUNGEON IRON WORKS, the owner, has just weeks ago, went into the business of manufacturing the largest axes in the world. For years, we have had the reputation of making the largest cleavers in the world, but for now, we are going to focus on axes.

If you would like to purchase the largest axe in the world, with serial number 2, for the first one went to a fireman in Michigan, then check it out on ebay by going to ebay, and typing in their search box: 130569369041, and feast your eyes upon it.

Have you seen the Ontario Marine Raider? What's your opinion?

[Kitwilbur]

I have one of these. After 5 minutes of chopping, my handle mounting bolts all snapped. Made too thin. I'll machine a new heavier set. I still like the product, and use it all the time. The manufacture quality is good, sharpening was too coarse, I had to spend an hour to correct factory sharpening. I baton wood with it all the time. It has never failed me.

Have you guys tried the Kabar Hatchet? if so what are you impressions?

[oneraindog]

@shtfprepared have you ever tried to do fine carving with a giant knife? skin a small animal? hell even a large one?

i wasnt trying to say that a hatchet should replace a knife. im saying i never understood why people want to replace the hatchet with a knife. its fine and well to show how well your knife chops down trees. but i see a lot of youtube vids showing knives cutting downtrees and not a lot of videos of knives doingwhat i always thought knives should do. guess thats not as interesting

@oneraindog Ever try gutting an animal with an axe? cutting fish/rope/food, fighting,building,defending,op­en cans, start a fire....that's why its a SURVIVAL knife. You can hack,chop ,slash,jab,cut,baton,

[shtfprepared]

I AGREE! We had both a 5 lbs axe and a Heavy Bowie from KaBAR. EVERYONE wanted to use the KABAR and the axe stood 5 days jabbed in a tree. ALSO NO ONE wanted to carry the axe.
