Very good
Arrived after a little wait as out of stock but HH kept me updated. When arrived it was put straight to use brushing 30 8' tall fir trees. Only needed sharpening the once an out of box was going through 2 thick branches with a half hearted swing. Thought the head was little small at first but have been proved wrong. Shaft is good and will be easy to replace if ever damaged. Nice balance. Only improvement? Maybe a little bit of chequering or a couple of leather bands shrunk onto the handle to improve grip as bit slippy when hands get sweaty.
