Bushcraft Axes

Selecting the best axes for bushcraft involves understanding both your needs and the capabilities of different types of axes. Whether you're preparing for a light camping trip or a rigorous backwoods adventure, choosing the right type of ax can make all the difference.

Understanding Axe Specifications

Hand-forged axes vary widely in terms of size, weight, and the materials used:

• Bushcraft Hatchet. Typically has a handle size of 20-40 cm and weighs between 1-2 kg, making it ideal for pruning and light hiking.
• Forest Axe. Larger, with a handle length of 60-90 cm and a weight exceeding 2 kg, suited for cutting down large trees and heavy-duty chopping.

Matching Your Axe to Your Activities

Choosing the right axe depends on the nature of your tasks:

• For lighter, more precision-based tasks like trimming and small-scale chopping, opt for a bushcraft hatchet.
• For substantial tasks requiring more force, such as felling trees or splitting large logs, a forest axe is more appropriate.

Maintenance and Care Tips for Longevity

Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your axe:

1. Cleaning. Remove any resin from the blade using solvent or alcohol and a dry cloth or soft brush.
2. Sharpening. Employ stones of various grits for coarse and fine sharpening. Maintain a sharpening angle of 20-25 degrees to ensure effectiveness and safety.
