## Description

Review: Good solid hand axe. Great for chopping kindling. - Arrived promptly, well packaged and pre sharpened which is more than can be said for some.... Relatively lightweight and very well balanced but still feels sturdy enough and well made. I dont expect the head to be loosening on this any time soon which is more that I can say for this axe's predecessor! Ive primarily used this for chopping smaller logs into kindling for my firepit and its very adept for this task. Comfortable to use for long periods and nice and easy to use accurately. The shaft is Hickory and could be alittle slippy if used with bare hands. I wear rubberised gloves so this is not an issue for me but maybe something to be aware of. Very pleased with my purchase. This was a little more expensive than one or two of the other brands but i fully expect this to continue to serve me well for a good few years to come.
Review: Beautifully made. - Quality item for the money.Superbly balanced and weighted.Ive seen axes for twice this price that are inferior.Superb for kindling although I felt it needed sharpening before first use but thats probably me being fussy.Also great deterrent if the wife gets bossy with me!! LOL.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made but...
*by J***C on 23 November 2023*

A well made little axe. Only issue is that it's as blunt as a sheep's back leg. Not a problem for me as I'm adept at sharpening tools but I suspect that some would expect a new axe to be pre-sharpened.
