228 customers mention180 positive48 negative

Customers like the size of the axe. They say it's not too narrow nor too wide, and is small enough to not get in the way of business.

The weight is excellent and the leather cover fits perfectly. Customers also love the width of the hand and the curvature.

"..." but really is a "forest axe" in that it's a great size for packing in the woods...." Read more

221 customers mention156 positive65 negative

Customers like the weight of the axe. For example, they say it's the perfect weight and length for the job it was intended, a great lightweight truck or camping axe, and it works great for small cutting such as limbing. Customers also mention that the handle is pretty darn light. That said, some say it packs quite easy on the back.

"...The edge also remained sharp. There is also enough weight to the head to make chopping easier, although some may find that the shape of the bit is..." Read more

"...enough to slam wedges fast and hang conveniently from my belt, yet light and small enough not get in the way of business...." Read more

"...It's too heavy for backpacking, but I stopped carrying hatchets in favor of a small folding saw, or nothing at all(except a good knife)...." Read more

"...enough to give me a reading for the weight but I find the weight to be comfortable when gripped regularly with two hands, as well as when choked up..." Read more

Customers are mixed about the handle of the outdoor recreation product. Some mention that it's nice, the fitting of the head to the handle is perfect, and the hickory handle is near perfect in placement. However, others say that the handle comes unfinished, rough, and has sharp edges. Some say the fit and finish on the handle aren't great, and it'd be better if it was sanded through the grits.

"...had a perfectly grained Hickory handle, but there was a very deep gouge in the handle at the toe...." Read more

An Impressive Axe.... So Long As You Are Careful About Which Model You Choose

An Impressive Axe.... So Long As You Are Careful About Which Model You Choose
Before getting into the review, I want to explain why I chose this particular model over another that was more suitable for my needs. If you read the other reviews, you probably saw the critical ones mostly dealt with the axe head breaking (no bueno). While comparing the relevant reviews, I noticed they all had something in common: the Husqvarna logo was stamped onto the head forward of the shaft. Most of those reviewers believed the stamp created a weak point in the metal, which I agreed with, and caused the head to snap. The original model I wanted, the Husqvarna 576926301 13" Wooden HatchetHusqvarna 576926301 13" Wooden Hatchet, had the same problem. After reviewing the product pictures and consulting a Husqvarna rep, I confirmed that this model, the Husqvarna 19" Wooden Splitting Axe, had the logo stamped behind the shaft. This model does indeed split wood better than the first model I wanted, but it is also larger and heavier. However, the axe head is still looking great after a week of heavy use so I feel good about my choice. If the head breaks off, I will definitely update the review.With that out of the way, let's get into what I think about this axe (and not the significant negatives of other models).**The Good**1. Wood-Splitting Ability: I've never had an axe with the head shaped specifically for splitting small pieces of wood, so I was very impressed with its performance. The week that I have had the axe so far included a few days of heavy use around the yard and a 3 day winter backpacking trip where it truly made the difference between a cold time and big fires that lasted all night long. After the very first trip, I have already decided the increased performance over a smaller hand axe is worth the extra pound and change of weight.2. Good Shaft (all innuendo is unintentional,skip to #3 if it becomes too much): It's not hard to find a great shaft that is still affordable. However, I was still pleased with the stock one provided by Husqvarna. It's pretty smooth and feels natural in the hand, without feeling like it has been sanded into oblivion. The shape lets you choke up close to the head and slide to a better grip as you swing. The wedge at the top of the head was cut pretty flush with the shaft and looks way better than when I do it myself. I'm also liking the "Husqvarna" in big letters on one side. But I'm not a fan of the other side, which I will explain in "The Bad" section.3. Stylish and Functional Sheath: I knew from the product decision that it came with a leather sheath, but was not able to see any pictures before purchasing the axe (I included one so you can judge for yourself if it's nice). I bought this expecting to replace the sheath as soon as I could measure the head, but this might be the first "stock" sheath I actually like.4. Looks Good and Feels Good: I'm the kind of person that chooses form over function every time, but I always at least look a little for something that does both. This axe definitely checks both boxes. So far, it has worked out great and still looks pretty good for something as simple as an axe. One advantage this model has over smaller axes is actually its size. When your buddies finish chopping and bury their dinky little hand axes in the base, you can casually walk over and slam this bad boy right next to them. Then you give them a manly stare and nothing really needs to be said, but they just know your "axe" is bigger. You can't really put a price on that.**The Bad**1. The "Safety" Notice: As stated previously, I only like one side of the shaft. The reason is that the reverse side has a diagram warning you against hitting the back of the axe head with another object (see attached picture). It's inked on there pretty well and I haven't been able to fade it even a little. It's not a huge deal since I know I'll have to replace the shaft eventually, but come on. Really?2. Cheap Loop: The bottom of the shaft has a loop that makes it easy to hang the axe. I'm not really sure what the intent was. It seems too rugged just for attaching the product information tags, but too thin for its expected use. After a little over a week, I've already noticed it fraying a little bit. I wished they used a stronger material for this; maybe the sheath ate up all of Husqvarna's leather stash.3. Bad Logo Placement (on other models): I know I said I wouldn't talk about the negatives of other models, but Hasqvarna's poor logo placement is still bugging me a little. After experiencing the performance of a proper splitting axe, I would still pick this model over the 13" version if given the choice again. But that issue and the lack of customer support experienced by other reviewers almost made me go with a competing brand. Even with all of the features I like about this axe, of which there are plenty, the only reason I went with this model is because it does not share the problems plaguing the others (so far).All in all, I am very pleased with my choice so far. I was worried about the increased size and weight for winter backpacking (my main intended use), but haven't noticed a huge difference. The increased performance of the wood splitting specific head is enough that I use it at home for smaller logs, even though I have a much larger axe that will chop anything. If Husqvarna gets their act together and starts stamping their logo in a better place, I'm sure customer confidence will return for the other models. But for now, I only recommend this one specifically.
