Customer Reviews
Arrived well packaged with a blade guard in place. I checked the usual handle grain orientation and blade geometry. It was sharp and ready to chop right out of the box. Split some oak in the dead of night because I could not wait til morning and one of the best axes I have experienced so far as I am still new to it. I have been favoring curved handles, but I don't mind the straight handle and I can always rehang it
This things gonna be a freight train for splitting! Im not a fan of a 36" handle so its in the process of being hung on a Council tools straight 32" dual grip handle. Ill add a Pic of its progress so far, couple more fittings to get it hung and itll be ready to work for a lifetime!
