Very nice. Great condition. It's shipped very quickly and it was exactly as described. Good experience
This is my favorite hand axe, and the 2nd one of these I've bought in 25 years! If you have lots of Grape Vine and Rip shins, this is light enough to carry all day while still being very effective for the task. The state Naturalist said, "If you care about your trees, cut the vines every time you're out there!"
I initially bought one for myson-in-law and when I saw it, I had to get me one. The scabard and the handle show craftmanship. I cant wait to get out to use it when the weather allows
Best machete I’ve used. It’s super sharp and durable. It feels great in your hand. It’s also American made hints why it’s pricier than the rest, but again you get what you pay for. I would recommend this product.
This tool/weapon (it comes with instructions on how to fight with said weapon, I bought for brush clearing) is a bloody (cause I can’t say the American word I want to use) beast. It’ll chop down small trees no problem. Sharp to begin with, what you’d expect from a traditional American made tool, not some Chinese made but “American” company. I live in southeast Texas, and damn but trees grow like weeds here, and this tool makes quick work of not only brush, but even small trees. I’m a Helko Werk axe guy, who bought this to clear the brush to cut down trees, but found it works as well as my favorite 12” Nepalese Kukri, if not better. It doesn’t look like much when you get it, but it’s a worker for sure. Screw machetes, this thing does the job and more. I’m a country boy, I use tools all the time, and I’ve rarely been so impressed with a tool.
