Amazing axe but here are some extera details.

Amazing axe but here are some extera details.
This axe (Camp Axe) the one with the "quick change axe head" has a perfact shape on both the head and handle. The handle has an amazing finish. That being said this is a more technical axe. You need more tools to replace the handle due to the pin and screw location. This axe comes blunt and half finished on one side. I believe this is intentional but to finish it you would have to complete the grind on the half finished side. This axe is amazingly ballenced and that is probably because it comes across as more of a compotition axe. It is labeled camp axe but I would not hammer with it since it has a slit down the back as to be able to "quick change" the axe head. And the shape is extremely thin then bumps out around the handle once again coming across as more of a throwing axe than a chopping or splitting axe. The axe how ever is extremely light and sturdy and will probably chop fine but Im not sure it will split as easily as its counter part the trail boss. I love both axes but I belive this one may be slightly miss represented as an axe of convenience when in my opinion it is a more technical axe. Dont get me wrong it is a work of art but if you want a simpler axe to camp with I reccomend the trail boss over the "quick change" axe though the handle on the Trail Boss all though its the same hadle and quality it slightly less finished aka just their is less coating on it which in my opinion may be a good thing for a working axe and it is very slightly less ballenced as the axe head has a little more mass due to its fuller shape once again probably bonuses for a working axe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camping axe
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020
First shipping was fast even with this whole covid stuff going on
Second this is now my go to camping axe its light enough to pack in built well enough to chop up small trees and branches
Third the quick change ability sold me on this and it works as advertised 3 minutes you can go from a broken useless axe head to a useful axe again
Now for the down side
It's not a full size axe head so you will have a harder time finding replacement handles
It is too small to use to chop anything bigger than a 5 inch diameter tree I wont be using it for downing trees anyway I'll be using it to chop up firewood in the back country

3.0 out of 5 stars Sembrava meglio
Reviewed in Italy on December 3, 2022
Piú piccola ( 69cm di lunghezza) e leggera di quel che pensavo! Il manico in alcuni punti sembra grezzo e rinfinito male ma anche se si dovesse rompere c'è il sistema rapido di ricambio che fa il suo! Diciamo che per il prezzo pensavo in qualcosa di piú di un ascia che sembra quasi da esposizione che da lavoro. La proverò e aggiornerò di conseguenza!
