Very happy with the ax and will recommend it to family members.
What an amazing tool!!!
Fit, Finish, handle, fabulous!!
Edge profile is perfect, shaving sharp!
I have been carrying with it, I am simply blown away!
Well of course the Camp Axe is looking AND working just like a Hoffman, which is why I just ordered the Hoffman Farm Axe....CANT WAIT FOR IT TO ARRIVE!
Thank you to the HOFFMAN TEAM, I am a happy customer.
Everything we have purchased from Hoffman Blacksmithing has been of the finest quality and workmanship through and through. At the end of the day, after first wearing the belt, I tossed my other belts back into my closet. Thank you for making such “last a lifetime products.” With Love, the Hoffman family living up in the Green Mountains.
I have not used the Hoffman Farm Axe to cut down a tree yet, but, based on some test swings on a fresh stump, the feel of the axe and the bite into the trunk felt smooth, pleasantly solid, and very, very efficient.
Thae edege angle and profile surprised me the most while splitting chunks of firewood logs from the sides of the logs (rather than from the ends while standing up). Somehow, the heft of the head, in conjunction with the profile, accomplish this task with ease. The farm axe released easily when it bite into the logs and it only takes a few swings to fully half them. I am still learning the feel of the axe as to be more efficient while not over swinging it.
This axe is a beauty to behold. The 28 straight handle suits my swing and the crowded woods that I'm cutting in. The thin handle...... I just love this thin handle..... The bulb end fits in my palm perfectly while giving the handle a refined look. Oiling the handle is the only task needed to get this axe work ready.
Feels great, works gret, and looks great......This is the first axe that promted me to order another one just to be a wall hanger.....
A beautiful piece of work!
The complete package was beautifully crafted, from the forging, to the handle, to the mask.
It cuts like a laser beam!
Well done, Hoffman.
Everything I had hoped and more. It actually fit the bill of what I’ve been looking for perfectly. Got the 19” octagonal handle and I absolutely love it. Ergos are spot on and reminiscent of a vintage handle shape. Great work, would recommend highly.
The products are made very well. The stone works great.
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.
