Hardcore Double Bit 5LB Forester XL Splitting Axe

1 tool to carry in the woods besides 2. Wonderful.

Excellent quality

Great maul and perfect weight for me. I do wish the handle were a tad bit longer, but that’s just me, as I’m sure others find this length perfect. Overall excellent.

Disapointed

I just bought this axe at the Harrisburg Outdoor show. Was super excited to get my hands on one as I have been eyeing them online for awhile. The craftsmanship on the axe head is fantastic, sharp and nicely machined surfaces. The day after I got home and I'm using to split off some kidling and it felt a little strange in the swing. Upon closer inspection I notice the handle is warped. Its not obvious enough that I noticed while at the crowded booth at the farm complex but it becomes pretty obvious in the swing. Not the end of the world but my big complaint is after emailing customer support I've received no response. At any rate if the handle was straight it'd be a 5 start, if the customer support took responsibility and corrected the issue, it'd be 4-5 stars. At this price point I'd expect alot more from both the product and the customer service.
