Great for scouting
I am no expert woodsman, but as an assistant scout leader we often get the chance to work with open fires. So far this has worked well prepping firewood. The axe appears well made with all the features I was told to look out for on my leadership training. The sheath is thick leather and fits like a glove, the handle well finished and the blade nice and sharp out the box (although my bushcraft friend wants to have a further go at it). All in all a great axe at a great price.
