For the price, gets the job done. Does the job for the price. Feels quite solid and has a good heft from the axe head.Despite the hollow handle, I can get a decent swing.I did not like the slight burr from the molding process found just below the axe head along the handle (see photos).For my purposes, the included plastic holder is just too bulky for camping purposes.I made my own blade cord cover with shock cord and a nylon strip.**Update August 19 2017**I took the hatchet out to…
Buy this one, over here! Bought this axe for a family car camping trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. First, the axe is light and compact enough for my medium framed 12 y/o son to split logs endlessly (and enthusiastically). The axe really does seem to chop three times faster. It did finally get somewhat dull after a few days of abuse, but it never lost its splitting power. Overall a great buy and a good seller to deal with.
Legendary This is a great splitting axe that will handle more than you expect it to for its light weight. This is SHARP and has stayed that way for three cords of wood so far.One thing I would check before purchasing is the price of the similar fiskars axe – they are the same company and my gerber even says fiskars on it.
