Practically Perfect in Every Way
I bought mine a couple of years ago now. I use it mostly for chopping larger pieces of wood into kindling, and it's absolutely perfect for that. Nice grip, ideal weight, appropriately sharp. Can't fault it.

Good heavy duty axe
Ive been chopping logs since I got these, and that was over a year ago, this chopper is brilliant and still going sharp. I use it to chop medium sized logs into more manageable sizes for our log burner.

Fine for kindling
I bought this axe primarily for chopping kindling for a wood burner and with the thought it would be good for camping. It arrived nice and sharp (re other reviews: an axe is not a knife don't expect it to slice your skin open at the merest touch) and is of qood build quality for the price. The sheath tore the first time I opened it but at the price that is not really surprising. It is ideal for chopping kindling being nicely balanced and sharp however I feel it really is probably just too light to be of any real use for camping. However I will take it with me and see if I am proved wrong. So if it's an axe for kindling you're after this is fine it does the job easily, so why pay more?

Great value
Very satisfied with the service and delivery the quality of the item is excellent I've tried it today and it worked perfectly it's light in wait but Very stong and as a bonus it comes with a protective case.

Unbelievable product at a fantastic price
I have used Amazon many times over the last few years and I have never written a review before but I always rely on the reviews of others (naughty me!) So this is my first review and as I never usually write them there must be a great reason for doing so, which brings me onto the axe. It has a good grip, feels very solid and is comfortable in your hand. There is a cover for the blade, which is very sharp (the old dear slightly nicked her hand as she took the cover off so be careful). It is ideal for cutting kindling wood for the fire. It is an amazing piece of kit and as you can tell I highly recommend it. But what is more astonishing is the price - £6.54 including free postage! The nearest price I could find elsewhere on the internet was between £10-£15 inc postage, so grab yourselves a bargain. And before you ask, no I am not on commission. I work as teacher and love my wood burner! So I am now no longer an Amazon Reviewer Virgin.

Sturdy but not the sharpest
Sturdy and well made, came with a nice sheath it wasn't actually photographed with so that was a nice surprise, pretty decent quality but arrived pretty dull I had to spend a good 15 minutes with a whetstone to give it an edge. Would buy again.

Worth the money
Much better than my previous axe which had a wooden handle, this one is slightly heavier with a sharper blade and chopped logs much easier. 10/10 Also liked the black grip on the handle.

Para lo que cuesta (13€, cuando la compré) no se puede pedir más. En la mano parece más contundente que lo que indica su peso, por supuesto no es para derribar sequoyas, pero como hacheta de camping, perfecta.

Bonjour. C'est une trés jolie hachette. Elle a l'air solide et le manche est ergonomique pour une bonne prise en main. Le seul petit soucis est qu'il est trop petit pour fendre des bûches de bois. Sinon l'article est trés bien.
