I love this it’s heavy you know it’s going to the the job . It’s a shame it comes blunt as I have nothing to sharpen it with and don’t really know how to sharpen it. I don’t understand why it comes blunt when you have to show I’d and sign for it .
The weight is nice, slightly forward heavy which permits a good chop, it arrives with plastic protective covers that are really not needed, it requires a good edge putting on the blade, took me half hour with the angle grinder to get a keen edge.
The handle is round and slippery, an oval form would work better to prevent the misfits due to blade angle.
For the money it’s a worthwhile investment if you hand chop kindling or do any hedge laying or brush cutting.
To be sharpened before usage.
Out the box I wouldn’t want to catch myself with it, especially not on a downswing, and if cared for this will last a lifetime no doubt.
If you use bladed hand tools often, learn to maintain them, or find someone nearby who can help 😀 this is a great bit of kit!
