Quick delivery. Awesome! We buy a lot of clips for testing our equipment's sharpness. But we found that about 8% of the clips are faulty. The string doesn't get held properly on one side, and the string would just slip out of the fold of the metal. Unsure if the string tension plays a part in the consistency of the reading. Because that too, is not consistent. 8% is a lot of failures since that means that 1 out of 12 bags we buy would be completely faulty. We'd like to continue using the clips. But the quality control needs to be better.
Well made, should serve me years and years of use
Great feel and quality.
Well shaped and balanced.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a premium straight replacement handle
Very happy with this handle. Great feel and quality straight handle.
Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quality replacement.
First time interaction with Axeman. Wanted to replace a broken axe handle and found it really difficult to find a good local supplier of axe handles and accessories. Went to the usual places (Dunbar Lumber, Home Depot, various garden shops) but found the selection limited. Also there was very general information about axes and sizing. Finally found Axeman which provided all the info I needed...also learned a lot from the info they provide. Ordering and delivery was quite smooth although there was a mix-up in my order (which was rectified with no problems). Any inquiries I had were dealt with very quickly. Good experience all around. They are a good Canadian company using Canada Post and Shopify (both good Canadian companies) to support their business. I will be recommending them to all my friends. Keep it going! Support Canada.
If you only wanted one axe for around the property, this could be it.
The other day, I challenged myself to fell, limb, buck and split a moderately sized spruce. I did the whole job with this axe. The only problem I encountered was keeping up with the caloric demand for the job.
Jeremy is also great at running his business. If you have a question, he takes the time for his customers.
Great little Axe and hand picked by very knowledgeable people,
Thank You for that! I will be picking up a Montreal in the future
and Axeman will get the call.
Of my four Silkys this is my favorite! Slices through logs like butter, compact and light enough to hike in to clear trails and for bushcraft camp chores. This is a tool I will pass down to my kids! And excellent fast shipping from Axeman! Just buy one already!
He loves it and says it's the ultimate gift. Would give it 6 stars if possible.
I was impressed that I received my order very quickly. The quality of the products is impeccable. I almost don't want to use the axe and have it as a showpiece instead.
This is the best axe for splitting (95% on the task) and chopping (5%of the task for branch).
The length is not too long, not too short, just perfect for the camp operations.
Shipping and service from Axeman was also perfect, will buy again from you in the future!
Great smaller size & handy knife, comfortable non-slip grip - Ordered with the fire steel. Gifts for my grandsons for camping this summer. Unfortunately one knife of the 2 that I ordered has a wrinkled finish on the blade. If I remove the finish, will it be rusted underneath the wrinkles? Is this a production flaw?
I really like the magnetic scraper because it is effective at holding metal from knives which is in the water. This amount of metal was from 10 knives which where at 432 g to 1369 g on BESS C scale prior to sharpening. Final BESS C score was in range of 143 g to 278 g.
Numerous dealings with Axeman for axes and saws. Top notch products with top notch advice and service!
Compared to the splitting axes I'm used to, it feels unusually short and the head feels unusually heavy. Its small enough to pack in the baggage compartment of a small plane, or unobtrusively squeeze into the size of a typical backpack.
After making a few campfires over the holidays, I was really impressed by how good it feels - and how well it performs - splitting wood.
That, and the axe is just gorgeous. It made an excellent christmas present for my hard-to-shop-for outdoorsy brother.
Just used this axe today after purchasing from Axeman, was splitting 20 inch knotted tamarack blocks, this axe swings well and definitely splits well, the weight and handle length is excellent and this axe doesn’t get stuck in blocks, very happy with it.
The Weaver Leather axe sheaths are all-made, fit the hultafors axe-heads perfectly and are very good-looking as well. Staff at Axeman were very responsive in helping select the correct size for my Ekelund axe. Great product and excellent service!
