Review: A Real Workhorse - So have only gotten around to using this Axe for a second time now..The first Axe was returned due to it Bluntness..This one is Sharper but could still be better..However I used an Old File to obtain a better edge on the Axe and it cut through Sleepers like butter..Its got good Balance..a nice weight to it..you can get a good swing at the Wood and after 30 minutes of chopping checked the edge for any wear but nothing visible..For the Price paid you can't go wrong..Its a Great Axe and hopefully will see a few Years of good Service and I would highly recommend this as a reliable investment..Thanks..

**Q: Mines says ‘do not strike’ on the back of the head, along with another warning sticker saying don’t do it. Why can’t I hammer the back?**
A: The reason is: Axe heads and hammers heads are both made of hardened metal in compliance with the relevant standards. You should never hit two hardened surfaces together because one might shatter.
kind regards

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool
*by H***0 on 17 August 2013*

Simple, straightforward, nicely balanced lightweight axe excellent for splitting straight-grained logs, or chopping through light branches for kindling. A perfect mid-range tool between my single-hand axe and heavy splitting maul. Not a tree-felling instrument but this would certainly tackle light brush and heavy undergrowth. A no-messing tool with no frills but all the necessary attributes to do its job.
