5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal lightweight axe for camping, home or bushcraft.

It was easy to sharpen and took the edge well but as for long term edge retention I can't really comment.So far I've spent half a day with it up in my local woods and it chops hazel and sweet chestnut coppice with ease, slices through branches like butter and I even tackled a 13" dia. beech log with no real problem.The edge I put on it has held up so far and have been feathering sticks with it.So to conclude, a lightweight well built axe that takes an edge well and cuts sufficiently well. And is cheap as chips.My only gripe is that I find the hadle is a bit weird but I probably just need to get used to it. It's still comfortable and ergonomic to use.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for chopping kindling
Good little axe for the price it’s sharp nicely balanced and well made. Ideal for my kindling chopping 👍
5.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the sharp end
Small sharp no app or instructions ya hit things they get hit or don’t. It’s simple well made and useful
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little Hatchet for splitting small logs
Awesome little hatchet once sharpened, just keep it oiled to prevent rust.
3.0 out of 5 stars A diamond in the rough
I've bought and used many Sandvik Bahco tools over the years, including wood saws, hacksaws, adjustable spanners, and their legendary Laplander folding saw, and I've always found them to be excellent quality. This axe, though, left quite a bit to be desired when it arrived. There's nothing at all wrong with the basic design - it was just very roughly finished. The handle and head were covered in blobby, bubbled orange paint, the hanging hole in the handle had rough edges (I could have done without this hole altogether, really), the ash-wood handle was rough to the touch and cheaply varnished, and the wedge on the head had a silly, flimsy plastic hanging loop attached to it which was broken when the axe arrived, and which needed cutting off right away. The cutting edge of the axe was none too sharp either. However, I followed the advice given in Dave Baldwin's review - spend a couple of hours sanding off all the horrible orange paint, polish and sharpen the head, work some wood oil into the handle, and lo and behold, a very nice tool emerges. I'm not quite enough of a survivalist to feel the need to wrap the handle in paracord myself, but other than that, Dave Baldwin is right on!I'll be making a leather sheath for the head next. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase, but I'm not used to having to put this much work into a tool before it's usable. I thought the Swedes loved their axes - I'd have expected Sandvik Bahco to have a better understanding of what makes for a great axe, even at this price point.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great axe
Perfect small axe . Good value for money. Easy to use. As with a lot of my wooden handled tools I like to shape the handle a bit to my own liking but this felt good from the start
