I researched this for several weeks before I made the decision on this axe. I had expectations from the reviews and tests that I had seen, but I was blown away at the quality. First thing, the edge is SHAVING sharp. Not just taking a couple of hairs off, I mean SHARP. The handle is nice and smooth, no varnish, or weird finish. The handle was hung solid, no rocking or play at all. Perfectly contoured and extremely comfortable to use. Perfect weight and balance for a pack axe. The hand forged head has it’s blemishes, but it makes it look like it’s meant to be used. Just like with any new wooden handle it needs some boiled linseed oil ever now and then. Take it for what you will, but I believe this is the finest axe made in its class.

Love it. Well-made. Performs better than I would have expected. Preferred a darker handle, so I applied a stain, which mostly soaked in. If I were rich, I would purchase another one for my other hand. Very pleased with this axe.

It's light and it's sharp and it's a pleasure to use. It also happens to be a work of art. What more could you ask for?

I bought it for my son for Christmas and he just loves it, it was pricey but that's what he wanted.

So nice I don't want to use it but it's going straight in my ruck for all my camping needs. Thanks for making an axe perfect in size that fits into a backpack.
