5.0 out of 5 stars Holds edge, better steel than most at this price
Comes kinda sharp, but a little work and you can cut some wood and still go shave off a beard with it. I'm just gonna say it holds an edge better than most. It's just the right size to choke up on and strip branches and bark off for makeshift tent poles, tent pegs, makeshift skewers and spit roast rotisserie. Has nice hammer for driving pegs etc. Great for bushcraft
5.0 out of 5 stars Quality
Overall a quality build. The axe head is polished and very smooth. Very nice to look at. Sheath is very nice, quality leather. Quality handle material and shape. I expected the handle to fill the axe head with no gaps.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great axe but not for beginners
Great freaking axe, absolutely chops almost anything wooden. This axe is not for a novice and I did quit a bit of work to the edge to get the bevel profiled to my standards, but worth the effort. Very easy to sharpen, holds edge very well. Since it was an import I thought It would require additional metal wedges but to my surprise they doubled up on the conical wedge. Currently this thing has been used very successfully against many hickory trees, while holding its edge and no head loosening. My only gripe is the anti - rust coating makes it a little hard too clean at first; I recommend using WD - 40 and 1,500 - 20,000 grit sandpaper to clean off the post work crud and maintain its shine. I have been falling trees with axes since I was 11 and that was before the axe fad became a thing. This axe has a 4.5 pound head which for novices the average full sized falling/chopping axe has a 3-3.5 pound head so yeah I would not recommend this for those who haven’t developed the strength or endurance to safely use this, not a good starter axe. I recommend a 2-2.5 pound medium or boys axe as it used to be called, but I am still able to use it despite being an asthmatic. The axe came razor sharp right out of the box but, if you’re the kind who wants a new axe to be sharp right out of the box hoping it will stay sharp always because you don’t know how to sharpen, your going to need Learn how eventually, especially if you plan on actually using the thing. I have big Hands so this axe handle despite being very thick is more comfortable for me but I would not recommend for those with smaller hands. Lastly, I apologize for any novices are offended by any of my comments, using axe can be very dangerous especially when you are inexperienced and do not give an axe the proper respect it is due. This axe is a great axe but for some I would recommend something smaller, hello werk makes good axes not just this one, you can do what I did, check their website before buying.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing axe
The handle is a good heavy size that conforms well to your hand for good grip. The head is smooth and sharp, cuts through logs like butter. Awesome quality, great, looking axe!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality axe
I bought this axe because i like to use a beefy felling axe to split wood instead of a maul, when it comes to straight grain woods like ash. I split about 1/3 of a cord of ash with this axe the day i got it and i'm very impressed. The whole thing looks and feels great. The handle is nice and solid, well fit and the grain is oriented perfectly. The head is polished and smooth which i feel helps you free it from a log more easily. It came very sharp from the factory. I like the fact that the handle is a little longer than you normally see. I'm 6'2" so i like a little bit more axe and this one is awesome. I may buy more of their products in stead of a gransfors next time becasue i like this axe so much. Its not a cheap product but its cheaper than some others and id say its top quality. feels like a deal based on what you get.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Hatchet for camp and carrying on quick lightweight camp ot trek.
Overall very well made Hatchet. Nice size and length of handle is perfect for use. Easy to pack or around camp or cabin. Not to be used for heavy work or major splitting as it is not designed for that. But great on smaller stuff or setting up camp. This unit along with good axe, and splitting maul is all you need . Camping out or out in the bush and going for lightweight trek, this would be perfect. Very functional. I would have given 5 stars across the board but the handle was not fitted as well as it could have been on the hatchet head with small gap noted on the front side of the head and handle not set to full depth of opening causing the gap. Works well and under use so far, so not going to change anything now. but once it wears or loosens up I will reset the handle.Overall very please with hatchet.
