A good weight and balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would recommend!

Spent a few hours splitting so far. Weight is good, head is still tight, edge is still sharp. Will probably sand off the poly from the factory and oil. Handle is pretty comfortable overall even with my small hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will be my new replacement axe

M.M. · December 19, 2023

The media could not be loaded. I broke the handle on my favorite axe. I won't spend $40 on a replacement handle. I will craft a one for it. But that takes time to get it right. So I was in need for a backup axe. This 8 pound maul is it. It is a good splitter. I already split. Red oak, hickory ash elm Osage orange also known as hedge. Two hits to quarter a 20"log. All but the ash and elm both I fell over a week ago and if you don't split them within three days they become very hard to split. But 4 or 5 hits did split them. The thing I really enjoy about this axe. It pulled right out after landing with a solid thud. Blade was a good 2"or 3" deep. One push down on handle and lift right out of the wood. I like splitting wood. I do not enjoy trying to remove a axe from wood that won't let go. I not sure if it's the slick finish over the metal or the design yet.. and on the the handle. I don't care for the finish it has. Feels like it will soon flake off and the wood will dry out and crack. I will sand the finish off. Soak in oil for a week. Then I will let it dry for a few days. This will keep the wood in the very best condition. Won't crack or rot or split and insects won't touch it. Any kind of oil. Cooking oil or Baby oil. Even motor oil.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a workhorse.

I haven't swung a maul in more than 20 years, so it was a bit of a shock to lift this up to do a little splitting, but oh boy was I super happy with it. The handle is sized correctly and of good quality. The thing blows oak rounds apart, even in my inexpert hands. I am very pleased with it, it feels like a maul should. Solid, lively feel with very little reverb back into the hands or shoulders. I picked up a fiskers the other day it just felt wrong, like there was little control, and I have seen a bunch of reviews that complain about the shock to the hands, even if people still like them. I grew up with axes and mauls, and this FEELS like it is old school, plus splits better than anything I had growing up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as advertised

Does the job

1.0 out of 5 stars Not American made!

B. · May 8, 2025

These guys go out of their way to try to make this sound like it's American made without ever telling you officially where it's made. Just take a look at their website and tell me that they're not trying to make this sound like an American made ax. This piece of garbage is made in India. Super deceptive marketing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This tool is really sharp, handle with care.

This is one of my favorite tools. The ease with which this splitter takes down a huge log was breathtaking.
