This is kind of nonsense, as the old wooden axe handles have dried out and shrunk a bit, meaning they are not snug against the steel. The new hatchet has elastomeric padding compressed against the steel, damping resonances.https://twitter.com/officialrus1/status/1355440947488821250 …
I think we're in agreement? I never said there was anything good or bad here; I just explained what was going on.

Yep. We're in agreement. The only thing I don't like about fiberglass handles is that if they break, they break. There isn't a damned thing you can do to fix them. But they're cheap and strong. So whatever.

Maybe there is some underlying truth to the video though. It might be one of those traditions lost in translation. Tap the head to listen to the ringing and find out if it's loose, and then do maintenance if needed. Somehow that got misunderstood as a quality assessment.
