It is a great puck that does the job! Hoffman, once again, knocks it out of the park!!!
Absolutely incredible! In both form…and function. Was hesitant to swing it because it’s just so darn nice, but when I did…wow!! The perfect splitting axe…hands down! Well worth the wait for something that has become an instant heirloom. Hangs proudly on my den wall when not in use - showing off the perfect grain orientation. The folks at Hoffman are clearly masters at their craft. Thank you Liam and Co., and thanks again Buckin’!!
Beautiful work of art. The craft carver is the sharpest knife in the drawer. It's an axe, but I can really see using it a lot as type of knife. The handle is really well made and perfectly attached to the head.
The craftsmanship is second to none. Excited to add another family heirloom to the collection to be used for generations.
This is a great piece. We can tell the hard work and care that went into this carver!!
Wonderful craftsmanship head is nicely shaped, sheath is exceptional, handle is well shaped and a nice piece of wood bulb end is a special touch
Craftsmanship is next level!
Such a cool axe. LOVE IT!
This is my 3rd Hoffman axe. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it's exactly what I needed. I prefer a small hatchet for fire making chores. Can't wait to take this little beauty on my next adventure! Fit and finish are flawless of course! Best axes period!
Bottom line up front this is the best splitting axe that ever was, is and maybe ever will be.
I've tried around 50 different axe patterns, and the Wood Bullet beats them all. You can find vintage axes with good profiles for splitting, but finding one with the right profile, a clean eye, an undamaged toe, a big heavy (and undamaged) poll and a long, full bit will not be easy or cheap. Add to that the work you'll have to do fixing it up and hanging it and the price of the Wood Bullet isn't so daunting anymore.
The secret to the Wood Bullet's performance isn't just the edge geometry, it's also the big, heavy poll. It flicks better and swings truer than anything else I've tried. The balance that poll provides also seems to make it less jarring on your elbows when you flick it if you don't let go fast enough. The shape is perfect, with a nice flat top that won't catch rocks while you split on the ground and a wide bit that makes it easy to hit what you're aiming for, and the handle shape has quickly become my favorite as well.
All in all it's my new go-to splitting axe. I might bring other tools to play around with, but when the wood is gnarly or time is of the essence the Wood Bullet is the tool I reach for.
I’ve watched Buckin build and test this axe until he was finally satisfied with the final product. He could not have found a better Blacksmith to build this amazing tool! Not only is this the finest working axe I’ve ever used, but the look and fit are impressive. You get what you pay for, a tool that will last a lifetime. Well done Hoffman Blacksmithing!!
Wonderful fit and finish, new Maker's Mark Tennessee versus North Carolina .
Amazing Splitting axe! Had to wait almost a year, and it was well worth the wait! The handle is perfect for me, I’m 6’-1”, and the back doesn’t bother me as much with this axe.
It’s such a nice looking combination, I made a spot to hang it in the cabin, so I have art and a firewood tool combo!

Placed an order of an in stock axe. This is my second Hoffman axe and it’s just as good as the first. The first was made in NC. Second made in TN. Perfectly packed and I’m very happy with the axe. Axe came with no flaws. Fast shipping since it was in stock.
If you have a hatchet, you will appreciate the Axe Belt Holder.Snap it on your sturdiest leather belt, insert your axe, and enjoy the simplicity and of the design.
I couldn't be more please to have a heirloom quality, American made axe made by passionate craftsman. The handle of mountains to sea allows you to be one with the axe. Buy now with zero regrets later
Very impressive well thought out design! Workmanship is outstanding!
Very functional & easy to use design.
Recommend the belt holster 100%
Lots of great feedback and questions from my fellow workers.
