## Description

Finely balanced head forged from carbon steel, hardened and tempered with the faces ground and lacquered. Plated tubular steel shaft fitted with nonslip rubber grip.

Review: 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.
Review: 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practically Perfect in Every Way
*by T***X on 6 January 2026*

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
*by M***I on 27 November 2025*

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
*by R***H on 24 May 2011*

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?
