The sheath is incredibly well made! But I put it on incorrectly as the snap has to face away from you and the head, not toward you. It fits perfectly that way.
This is just what I've been looking for to add to my backpacking kit. I needed a hammer for my tent pegs, an axe for fire wood, and a large knife for making tinder, and doing camp tasks. The overall weight is perfect to replace a small saw and a large knife: it has the power and blade length to accomplish the common tasks of setting up camp, while having the edge control to cut food, whittle sticks, and make the small items required to support comfort in the outdoors. I've waited for several years for the opportunity to obtain this small axe, and it is exactly what I have been hoping for.
Wasatch Axe head is really sweet😁😁....haven't had time to haft it yet....love the design....wonder what a 3lb be like??
Comfortable, well made, and has the looks of an out-doorsman! Pleasing to the eye!
Simply marvelous and a work of art! I love the head but have not hung it yet as I haven't decided on the type of wood or handle length. Thank you Hoffman Blacksmithing! Ed
Beautiful axe , edge is very sharp hung on a very nice 24" Hoffman handle
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 .
