Great little axe

Used this as a camping axe a few times now and it's fantastic. Kindling making machine!

Top notch

Man, these Hultafors axes are beautiful. I received my carpenters axe , thanks to the Axe man family’s top notch business , they had the order packed up along with my weavers axe mask as soon as the order was placed. A gentleman hit me up over the chat and assured me it was all ready to go and was working on the shipping app. Sure enough couple days later I’ve got a big box at my door. Barely had enough time to get excited for it. Now the axe, I shopped around online looking for a compact axe, something a bit over a hatchet viewed a few sites where i saw a couple I liked but wasn’t quite it, and their prices seemed a bit steep. Then i stumbled on Axeman.. started scrolling through their inventory and had a pretty good feeling I’d find what i was looking for, Carpenters axe, 20” handle and their prices here seemed to be the best around that I was coming across, which is always nice. So once I received my order and got to hold and inspect the product, I was very pleased. Very, very pleased. And what feels great is supporting a Canadian family run business! You guys, they do it right here, if you want top quality products, top quality business, support these guys you’ll be happy you did

A Beauty!

Very nice little axe for out in the bush or camping. I haven't put it to much use yet but I really like the stairs handle and notch in the head for gripping

Nice axe
