The axe came perfectly shipped. It is very well made and balanced. I split a tote in 20 minutes right after unpacking it!

Love this axe! Huge difference from cheap all-purpose axe I was using before. Balance, handle and blade work in harmony to make this a splitting machine. Very happy with this purchase and plan years of use with this axe.
