The axe is a very well made axe. It worth the extra money in every way. It will for sure be a family our-loom and be past down. The Wasath will be my truck axe.
I had high expectations and this axe has exceeded them
The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that nothing's perfect.
Excellent made axe. Good balance. Good grip the hickory handle. Very well-made blade cover.
This axe was worth the wait! Handleimperfect fit a feel for the 5# weight of the head. I have not the opportunity to try it out splitting wood, but if it works as well or better as my 70 year old hytest tasmanian axe, I will be a happy happy splitting fool! Thank Hoffman Blacksmithing and Bucking Billy.
Well worth the wait! Thank you for such a beautiful ax! I am Tradesman and really appreciate the craftsmanship that Hoffeman Blacksmith has put into their work. I know this ax will be working well after I am gone.
Thank you
Great chopping axe. The pick however is thick. Good for pulling wood towards you but dosent stick in too well without some added effort.
Hi Matthew, the Fireman's hatchet actually isn't designed to be used as a pickaroon. The pick on our fireman's axe is intended not to stick or get stuck in materials. It's designed to knock windows out, bust locks, make vent holes in buildings ETC.
Truly the best splitting axe in the world! It’s a work of art and exceeded all expectations. In my opinion the value is in the incredible craftsmanship combined with the fact it does exactly what it was designed to do…split wood effortlessly and efficiently.
I liked the belt a whole lot except for the holes are too small. They are very hard to find and get the belt buckled. If the holes were elongated or larger it would be awesome.
Hi Christopher, the leather will break in over time. When it's new (especially being a thick heavy duty belt) the leather Is stiff. If you still find it difficult we'd be happy to make the holes larger for you. Our customer service team's here to help if needed.
