Good little axe as long as you don't expect too much from it. The hudson bay axe is a good little camping axe but you can't expect to split wood or use a lot of force or the handle will break at the inboard end of the head, as mine did. Also, the entire axe handle and axehead were covered in gobs and gobs of varnish. Pain to remove it all and add some boiled linseed oil. I really like the handle shape and length. Worked both single and double handed.

The best axe I've ever owned, fit & finish excellent, balanced head with 2 barrel safety wedges... The best & modern as well...no gaps in head is the result... perfect size handle & ratio weight to head... I cannot use those large gorilla sized axes because of my size & for back pack canoeing so this is IMHO PERFECT!!!! Disregard any junk reviews on the net... THIS IS A REAL AMERICAN MADE AXE WITH A STAMPED HEAD... IT SPEAKS OF QUALITY & TRADITION... Everyone loves a Hudson Bay axe because of its size and ability... If you're looking to buy an axe... here you ARE!!!

This axe lasted my 13-year-old son less than an hour of clearing brush before the axe head bent. I returned it and went with another brand. I would not recommend this axe, and I am glad it didn’t glance off the surface of a log/branch and hurt him. I have pictures of the bend and it’s from the heat treat process not the user.

The current run of Snow & Nealley axes are an amazing value. If you are looking for a working tool and not expecting Swedish perfection, you will be pleased. You are getting reasonably close to Swedish quality for much less cost. I bought two of these as well as the larger Single Bit axe. All three are great axes. They all have very slim, comfortable handles and are well built. As long as you don't expect absolute perfection in handle straightness, grain alignment or head alignment with the handle, you will have a tool that will serve you well.

I bought my S&N axe from Forestry Suppliers some years ago. And since then it's been one of my go-to tools in my work as an Appalachian Trail volunteer maintainer. This tool is easy to strap on my pack, is light enough to haul miles into the back country and not sprain my back. On site, it can cut precisely where I want it. Keep it sharp, and it will serve you well for years to come. It's a favorite.

It\'s a great tool just wish the Handle was 24 inches. The one I received is about 22.5 inches from the top of the head to the bottom of the handle
