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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
