Ron Mitchell –
Just what I was looking for to fit with my small bug-out bag. Nice weight for that. Also, the handle size and shape feels good, as does the balance / gravity when swinging. Great-looking workmanship. Nicely fitted head and hickory wood handle with grain aligned correctly. I’ll buy more of this brand – maybe next, a longer handled 2ib axe for when I don’t have to pack it in on by person. Haven’t found a leather sheath that fits this 1.25lb version yet though.
