Summary
Compact, sharp and powerful. Something anyone experienced with sharp tools or foresting should own.
Pros
- Easy to maintain and carry
- Razor sharp and well balanced
Cons
- Everyone who has the small forest axe takes the mick out of you
- Difficult to use with two hands
- A little dangerous to use
I was given this as a present for Christmas. I have used it thoroughly all over the world since. It has taken down trees, albeit slowly, the thickness of my torso and It has gone through saplings in a single blow. It is beautifully easy to maintain and razor sharp.
After three years I can still shave with mine. It easily tucks into my belt and keeps itself out of the way. The slightly larger small forest axe has no significant difference in performance or speed. The only difference is I'm carrying 6 inches less wood.
The only significant disadvantage is that the shortness of the handle adds an element of danger when chopping. I found this to my detriment when the blade bounced and buried itself in my knee.
