Its a wonderful axe. I would say the 24 inch Aby is for someone with experience knowing what it will be good for. The 24 inch made me overconfident in its capabilities, and i am inexperienced. So if i were more accurate or less ambitious with what i was trying to do, its a perfect axe. I am purchasing a dvardala handle, 17.5 inches for a replacement, id like it to be more contained for my use. And i am purchasing the Arvika with a 5.5inch blade because i have some rounds/logs that have offended me...
