I love this thing. If you're looking for just an ornament axe then spend a bit more I'd say. But if you want a really nicely made working axe you're gonna USE. THIS IS IT. GREAT AXE. Needs sharpening a little out of the box, and the clear paint to protect it needs cleaned off for real use. But it's a tall blade at 4.6", and the sheath that comes with it is GARBAGE, just for shipping. Not many sheaths out there tall enough to fit this. We'll balanced, heavy head for it's overall size. Swings well. Harder steel than most. THICK handle.

I wanted an all purpose axe with a metal handle guard, to that end the axe is well built the handle is a nice length and the head is secured to the handle with a steel plate. Really pretty axe. Those things are done well. The axe head however is too light for the handle and guard which gives it an odd balance below the head. I also had to give the edge a little love to get it sharp enough to chop nicely. The edge is also relatively soft, easy to get a fine edge but dulls too quickly… I’m going to harden it later with a torch and bucket. Over all I give it 3/5 bc it’s about $30 too expensive and has a odd weight that takes some getting used to.

The axe is the picture of perfection. Clearly a lifetime tool to be passed on to the kids. The blade guard is the exact opposite. It was very thin, cheaply made and the rivets were torn out which made it un-repairable.

Premesso che, se posso, acquisto roba fatta in occidente (sempre con qualche dubbio). Robusta ascia, anche bella da vedere, comoda da maneggiare, con protezione della parte adiacente del manico in robusto metallo. Le asce si dividono, grossolanamente, in due categorie: quelle che agiscono con il peso e quelle più leggere che agiscono con la velocità. Questa appartiene alla seconda. Ero dubbioso ma mi sono ricreduto: imprimendo la massima velocità di caduta è spettacolare. Tronchi freschi di castagno di 30 e anche 40 cm di diametro e di altezza, se presi bene, si spaccano che è una meraviglia. Con legni più duri è più difficile, ovviamente. Se la lama rimane incastrata è anche abbastanza facile da togliere. Pienamente soddisfatto.

This axe is exactly what I wanted; not a dedicated chopper and not a dedicated splitter but one that can handle both.Very sharp and very capable of moderate splitting. The handle is thick and bulky, but I’m gonna leave it because I can abuse it.This is not a light nimble ax, but it is perfect for abusive duties.Not every car is a Ferrari, sometimes you need a 1 ton truck.This is a great value

tolles Werkzeug für kräftige Personen "innen" und diverse, Die Axt ist sehr schwer und schön scharf bei leicht balligem Schliff. Für meine Zwecke absolut überdimensioniert aber ich stehe drauf. Ich spalte damit Aromahölzer für meinen Smoker und es macht einfach Freude wenn man kräftig genug ist die Axt zu führen. Auch nachschleifen ist kein Problem, der Stahl ist duktil und lange schnitthaltig. Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit der Axt. Griff und Fassung sind sehr stabil, nichts wackelt oder hat Spiel.Die mitgelieferte Klingenschutz ist absoluter Müll und war bereits bei Anlieferung unbrauchbar da defekt. Ich habe aber gar nicht damit gerechnet das ein Klingenschutz dabei ist also habe ich Ihn als nutzlos entsorgt. Bescheuert für den Hersteller sich mit dem 1€ Artikel zu blamieren aber da ich auf so eine Schutzvorrichtung bei einer solchen Axt keinen Wert lege, keinen Stern Abzug den die Axt ist absolut Klasse. Wer keine Unsummen für eine Manufaktur Axt aus Wunschstahl ausgeben will und mehr erwartet als eine Baumarktaxt ist hier aus meiner Sicht richtig. Für den Straßenkampf zu schwer aber für Arbeiten am Holz goldrichtig!

First off, I sought this axe after I used several of my peers. They both had the Stihl rebrand version, which is only different in color scheme, otherwise it’s the exact same axe.I’m a full time ISA certified climbing arborist out of NC and a have an unhealthy addiction to felling large trees against their lean with wedges...and lemme tell you, this thing is awesome and durable. It flips and orients easily in the hand when alternating between banging the wedge and cutting so you can drive it deeper. It’s been the only axe I’ve seen to last a year of abuse. I am incredibly happy with the craftsmanship and attention to detail in this tool. I’m no “Viking” but at only 5’8” and 172lbs I swing this axe like it’s a toy mainly because it’s so comfortable, ergonomically designed, and quite possibly the best axe I’ve ever used.

It arrived with the protection sleeve broken, damaged blade from impact (probably tossed around) and chipped paint on handle. Since it was meant to be a gift, I asked for an exchange. New one came in a similar state, only that the finishing around the red protection is much worse. Shows cheap manufacturing. Expected more since it’s marked “Made in Germany”!

Just received axe, packaging would be considered minimally adequate. Blade sheath is beyond POS it is embarrassing for Osenkopf and insulting to the customer. Infinitely better to have sent nothing. Grain orientation is spot on, however the rest on the hafting leaves much to be desired. The best word to describe the haft is neanderthal. Haft is clunky and brutish in need of a finish sanding and then some. Fit of Rotband and wood is laughable, the pictures do not do it justice. The bit itself appears to be of a very good quality. Sharpness out of the box is not Granfors but either is the price, to be fair. I really want to like this axe and after a few hours of tuning it may be a acceptable tool. The question is that for the price should it require hours of work to reach that point ? Overall the unit is very heavy. I am feeling the Rotband was a bad choice from a weight standpoint. This is a truck axe there is no carrying this behemoth around on foot. This has the grace of a splitting maul. I was so hoping for something special. At this point I am not sure if it is going back of not. It cannot be returned if I tune it up and it remains disappointing, therein lies the problem.

The weight and balance of the axe is great and the craftsmanship of the product is top notch. I have been using this tool for several months now for general brushing, limbing, chopping and firewood processing, together with some kindling splitting. In all this time I have found this to be one of my favorite axes. I recommend this tool to anyone serious about their tools.
