This is a larger version of the smaller model, but it needs sharpening because it's very dull when purchased. For chopping thin or medium branches, it works fine – the length provides the necessary force. However, for cutting larger logs, it's better to buy a splitting axe. Overall, the quality of workmanship is very good, so it performs great in that regard.
Bushcraft series splitting axe with solid, ergonomic design. The profiled handle, good balance and the head with grooves made of high-quality stainless steel with an anti-corrosion coating enable deeper cuts with less energy.
The other side of the blade is flat-tipped and can be used as a hammer. The use of rubberization on the lower part of the fiberglass overmold handle improves grip when working with the tool, even with gloves. Inside the handle there is a waterproof storage compartment for small accessories such as rope, lighter, flint, etc.
It comes with a scabbard with a handle that allows the axe to be clipped to a belt or equipment.

This axe might be useful in emergency situations, but as a tool for splitting wood with a diameter over 20 cm, it doesn't work at all. In my opinion, the price is way too high for its capabilities. During our last bonfire, we had a lot of problems cutting through dry pine blocks – the axe often got stuck in the wood, and even hitting along the cracks didn't help split the wood completely. The storage compartment in the handle turned out to be of poor quality – after a few uses, it became loose and fell out. In summary: as a solution for urgent needs, it will do, but not for this price. I absolutely do not recommend it for regular use.

The axe is lightweight, making it easy to carry. It splits wood into smaller pieces with no problem – it fits my needs perfectly. The storage compartment in the handle is practical, as I always have a lighter on hand. I recommend this product.
