Excellent product quality craftsmanship and very positive interaction with staff via email
This is my first Hoffman axe. Fairly new so it hasn't seen much duty yet, which is the ultimate test of a product's quality and durability. So this review must acknowledge that up front. However, it is self-evident when you just pick it up and inspect it that it's a superior quality tool in every way. Fit/finish exceptional, attention to detail many manufacturer's would skimp on or overlook entirely (as a small example, finish on the top of the tongue), etc. I followed their suggestion to promptly apply a few coats of boiled linseed oil, which really brought out the luster of the handle which is also exceptionally well made and perfectly finished. American craftsmanship is alive and well at Hoffman Blacksmithing - an heirloom-quality tool I look forward to many years of service from and eventually passing down to my son.
I've been lucky enough to purchase multiple axes now from Liam & Team. Each are amazing in their own way with unique forging
The handle is amazing. The trapper is my favorite design. Top notch quality. Very happy with this one!!
This Wasatch is a work of art. Though not intended as art, it is a work of beauty and a tool of service, with a great sharp edge, and the promise of years of enjoyment for the various uses for which it was purchased! I am a grateful owner of a Hoffman production. In fact, I just purchased the Mountain to Sea release.
The axe is wonderful i’ve only had it about two weeks and I’m already most of the way through a face cord of black Ash. it chops like a dream.
Everything about this axe is exceptional! Quality people building quality items!
Great puck use it for axes, knives whatever needs sharpening great to throw in the bug out bag.
Got the 26" octagonal straight handle. Perfect truck axe. Top notch fit and finish.
Trappers Hatchet - beautiful piece of work !
best axe belt holster available that I am aware of. quality leather snaps solidly around belt. while axe head sheaths are particular to each axe, this quality axe holster is good for all the axes I have in multiple brands. very satisfied with purchase.
The craftmanship on my axe exceeded the high expectations I already had. Every single detail has been considered from shape, forge, grind, shape of handle, expert hanging of the handle-even the wedge is perfect, and finally the quality and fit of the mask. Performance on wood is flawless. It is a factually perfect design, executed flawlessly. Zero negatives.
Nice looking and good weight. Liked the camp axe and wanted a more compact axe but not a hatchet.
This is a great product. The design is beautiful, and the handle feels very comfortable in hand. However, I'm not sure what caused it, but there was some rust on the blade when it arrived. It took a bit of effort to clean off, but overall, I'm very satisfied. I'm eagerly looking forward to the additional product I ordered!
One of the best axe I’ve ever purchased… I’ll be making more in the near future
Perfect size to fit into the backpack! Good camp axe with killer edge right out of the box. Highly recommended.
Beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Perfect to finish any keychain
Process, people, fit and finish are all exceptional. Early swings suggest it'll be enjoyed with every use. Octagonal handles are absolutely the answer if you're on the fence....
Hi Guys,
Haven't got into deep woods yet, been volunteering for emergency duty in my area. Expect to be whacking away at some red and white oak and some soft wood too. Be in touch!
