Customers say

Customers like the quality, value, performance, and weight of the axe. For example, they mention it's a well made tool, heavy enough to pound nails, and yet feels light enough with the right amount of balance. That said, some complain about the edge and durability. That being said, they recommend the product for its simple yet effective design.

Poor Grain Orientation

Poor Grain Orientation
If I hadn’t already bought another handle I’d be sending this back. This grain orientation is absolutely unacceptable, but it is a well designed tool and it can drive nails like nobody’s business.
