I came across this which I found interesting interesting. x

Dave Canterbury covers this as well. I just get images of half an axe spinning and bouncing back at my head. I do have their boreal saw which is well made except for the circlip that like to leave the saw at inconvenient moments.

The guy who tests it out highlights all that. His conclusion is that it is a really good and safe bit of kit and fit for purpose. He did say that to get an even idea he would need to test it over time. but his initial trials were very positive. and the price??????? over $300. not for me x

I wonder what would happen if you overshot a log on a hard swing?

I reckon it would be fine whatever. From what I have seen it looks pretty decent all round and there's no reason why it shouldn't be as strong as any wood axe, x

I'm only buying it if it comes in a gucci style man/handbag case with a picatinny rail and optional laser red dot.

$300! That’s a lot of cheddar for an axe. Think I’d rather buy an outdoor and Scandinavian forest axe for that. Or a matched set of Adlers or Muller.

Same here. I dont buy anything unless the product description carries the adjective TACTICAL in caps

We are all different aren’t we?
That adjective wouldn’t prevent me from buying a useful item but it would shove it down my list of choices. While the axe isn’t labelled “tactical”, I find that the word tends to mean heavy, black and over priced.

I was joking there along with TD. i keep forgetting to put the laughing face icon in. I actually avoid everything that says TACTICAL . its usually just a gimmick or marketing ploy x.

I'd love to say that it's a jack-of-all-trades and master of none but the 'overview' seems to give a different impression.

Personally, I only really use an axe for splitting wood when I'm out and about, so I'm not sure that I'd have much use for it. Aesthetically, it doesn't really tick a box for me either and, at $300+, I think I'll save my dwindling pennies.
