U won’t be disappointed Awesome camp axe for the money
Perfect truck axe I was looking for something in-between my Husqvarna hatchet & forest axe for my truck – this is PERFECT. 2 lb head is heavier than either, but the 18″ haft makes it quite the in-betweener. The haft is very slim as well, which you don’t see too often these days. Sure, you’ll have to clean up the bit a little, but that’s the story with most new axes. I’d definitely recommend purchasing this one!
Great little axe This is a well made, well balanced axe that is the right size for camping or light chores around the country home. The edge needed minor touchup when I got it. Some would advise sanding the lacquer off the handle, or you can just use a work glove.American made, good quality, and a lot cheaper than a premium axe from Europe. Hard to beat
