I have used this for camping to split firewood for kindling and it works well. The edge is not razer sharp so you can put it in a backpack, but the axe head has a good taper for splitting. The handle has a nice carve. I removed the wood lacquer and put on an oil finish.

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.

Buona ascia, buono anche il prezzo.

Balanced, sturdy and good looking. It is perfect for making kindling for the fire.

Used for chopping kindling. Does the job well but bigger jobs would be challenging

The axe I received is sharp: it has a scandi edge, rather than a convex edge. Many axes have convex edges and aren't as sharp, but the edge lasts longer due to having more steel (mass) near the edge.The handle is through the head.Nice to use for kindling or small logs, but the head is too small for larger logs, and the handle too short, and not what it's made for; it's about 8cm wide. Comes with an edge protector.Overall a nice sharp, well-balanced axe.
