Couldn’t be happier, arrived right in time fits just as advertised, nice clean looking hat with an awesome logo!
Seems to be perfect length for splitting firewood for camping. Arrived sharp with an edge protector. Fit and finish were very good! Balance is perfect! Can't wait to put it through it's paces!
I have been looking for a good splitting maul for some time. I happened across
a review on YouTube of this maul. The reviewer was very happy with it and says it is his favourite splitter. I wanted a handle that would stand up well to over strikes, and decided to give it a try. I am very happy with it, it swings nice, and doesn’t seem to lodge too deeply into a stump if you fail to spilt it on the first swing. The bit is designed very well, and was sharp enough to start splitting right out of the box. I have tried it so far on wood up to 18 in diameter and have had good luck. The 36” handle is just right in my opinion for a splitting axe. The service from axeman was prompt, as usual. I would highly recommend as an all-round splitter.
I purchased this for backpacking use upon recommendations from ultralight packers on Reddit. While not particularly light upon purchase, by removing the handle (the red screws make it a breeze to uninstall/reinstall) and making a new sheath from canvas, it is much lighter than a hatchet.
The product itself is phenomenal, it cuts fast and stays sharp. It truly is a joy to use good tools, and this makes me smile with every cut. Especially on the dry conifers of the Canadian Rockies.
If you're looking for a backpacking, canoe camping, or light-duty car-camping saw, look no further.
Axeman was perfect too: reasonable price, good selection/availability, and fast + cheap shipping. What more could I want?
I like using Aluminum Test Fixture and having spare media. This is cheaper than clips. One important note is 100g is the weight needed to provide proper tension to media. Too lose result with be high, too tight and result will be too low. This is why 100g tension to get consistent accurate results. Ie push slowly, not fast. Pushing fast will give low result which is not correct.
I came across Axeman.ca's site by accident late one afternoon, and quickly sent in an on-line inquiry to see if, a) I would actually receive a response back. b) if they actually had the items in my inquiry in stock, and to confirm their shipping offer.
I was stunned that after a handful of minutes later, a response came back confirming that all components were in stock and could be shipped out by the next business day, as their courier had already picked up for the day. A few minutes later, I easily ordered the parts online and promptly recieved an invoice and courier tracking number. This is a rare, but very welcomed customer service based from my on-line shopping experiences. Kudos to you, Axeman.ca! Your on my suppliers list, and, I'm looking at buying more products for my business from you in the near future! A win-win situation, I'd say.
Cheers!

I recently used this product to handle and old axe head restoration project. Jeremy from customer service was prompt with his reply and expertise regarding dimensions and handle length for my particular axe head. The grain orientation is excellent, this handle is heavy duty and very sturdy. I've really put the axe through it's paces this past week and couldn't be happier.
Very good service. My question was answered promptly and this has fit my needs perfectly. An ideal axe for camping. I returned recently from five days and it did what I wanted, splitting an assortment of firewood with two hands very nicely.I also required a limb to support my tarp…it trimmed it with no effort using one hand. Highly recommend this product and Axeman.ca. Thank you!
Great product - shipped quickly and packaging was very good also! Thanks again would deal with again.
I've receive a nice services for a mistake i've made in my order and ship quickly
Love this new Tormek jig, as I mainly sharpen knives, and the WM200 angle master is really designed for single bevels. Super quick shipping to Southern California, beating many of our US suppliers. Thank you!
