Customers like the quality of the axe. They mention that the steel is of very good quality, the hafting is of good quality and feels solid. The steel holds an edge well and really hogs pieces off of the edge of dry boards. The handle is perfectly grained Hickory and the steel of the head is extremely hard. The wood grain is pleasing and straight, and it retains the edge real well.

Customers like the sharpness of the outdoor recreation product. They say that it takes an edge well, is easy to sharpen, and produces nice clean cuts. The edge bites deep and easy, and it has a slim profile. It is a joy to carve with, making smooth, deep cuts with excellent control. It will cut easily through sapwood, but once you get to a big chunk of heartwood, it may not be able to cut through it.

"...First, the good details: Mine came very sharp right out of the box, not quite shaving sharp, but close enough for a hatchet...." Read more

"...forge make the heads and they are really nice, great steel and tempered very well. this axe may be the best bang for the buck right now" Read more

"...The head is made of forged steel and is easy to sharpen. The handle is of high quality and has a good shape...." Read more

"...But this hatchet has a slim profile and cuts nicely too.As I write this I have my Husqvarna next to my GB Light Forrest Axe...." Read more

452 customers mention433 positive19 negative

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the axe. They mention that it's a cutting axe that excels at that task, is seemingly flawless, and works great for small cutting. The length of the product is perfect for small cuts such as limbing and cutting the wood. The working edge is decent, and the sheath works just fine. Overall, this axe is strong, powerful, durable, and reliable.

"...It works perfectly as is and would only take a bit of careful sharpening to make it look perfect as well...." Read more

"...Already it performs very well for me and the tasks assigned to it...." Read more

"really good axe, mine had vertical grain, good hang, more robust sheath than i got from gransfors, and really good steel, carved many things out of..." Read more

Customers like the appearance of the axe. They mention that the grain looks great, it has a very pleasing appearance, and is well-made. The head is shaped elegantly, and the edge has a great grind. The axe is rustic and durable, with a light touch of finish. It comes very sharp and the leather cover is also high quality.

"...The handle on my specimen came with a tight and straight grain and the orientation was only slightly on an angle to the head of the hatchet...." Read more

"...It has a very pleasing appearance, however, and was finished with an "acceptable" edge ground into the bit...." Read more

Customers like the size of the axe. They say it's halfway in between, not too narrow or wide, and fits perfectly. The axe is durable and stays perfectly in place with one snap. The slim profile and slim handle make it easy to carry. The length and heft of the product allows for it to get some work done, but still fits in the pocket. Overall, customers are happy with the size and performance of the outdoor recreation product.

"...It has enough length and heft to get some work done, but still fits in the camping gear like small hatchet...." Read more

"...of thick, darker brown leather (appears very durable) and stays perfectly in place with one snap. It has four heavy duty rivets on the leading edge...." Read more

"...shape and the heft of the head is just perfect and sheath fits perfect with no wiggle at all...." Read more

"...This hatchet is fitted with a nicely profiled hickory handle that is attached to the head using a wooden wedge and round metal wedge...." Read more

229 customers mention159 positive70 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the felling axe. Some mention that the weight is excellent, perfect for the length, and works great for small cutting such as limbing. However, others say that it's too heavy, too big for backpacking, and too thin for its expected use.

"...It's manly enough to slam wedges fast and hang conveniently from my belt, yet light and small enough not get in the way of business...." Read more

"...a knife since its so hard but this axe with the thin blade and heavier weight just get the job done and carves with ease in the hardest woods i have...." Read more

"...It's too heavy for backpacking, but I stopped carrying hatchets in favor of a small folding saw, or nothing at all(except a good knife)...." Read more

"...The edge also remained sharp. There is also enough weight to the head to make chopping easier, although some may find that the shape of the bit is..." Read more

169 customers mention106 positive63 negative

Customers are mixed about the handle. Some mention that it's nice, the quality of the handle is exceptional, and the head is hung expertly. However, others say that it was a little rough, awkward, and didn't appear to be finished.

"...It's manly enough to slam wedges fast and hang conveniently from my belt, yet light and small enough not get in the way of business...." Read more

"...A perfect piece of Hickory marred by poor finish work or sloppy handling. Minus another 1/2 star...." Read more

"...and oil the handle with tried and true linseed oil, the handle came nicely sanded and shaped perfectly, maybe a tiny bit on the thick side closer by..." Read more

"...The handle was wedged nicely with a quality round metal wedge driven right in the center of the eye to lock everything together...." Read more

An Impressive Axe.... So Long As You Are Careful About Which Model You Choose

An Impressive Axe.... So Long As You Are Careful About Which Model You Choose
Before getting into the review, I want to explain why I chose this particular model over another that was more suitable for my needs. If you read the other reviews, you probably saw the critical ones mostly dealt with the axe head breaking (no bueno). While comparing the relevant reviews, I noticed they all had something in common: the Husqvarna logo was stamped onto the head forward of the shaft. Most of those reviewers believed the stamp created a weak point in the metal, which I agreed with, and caused the head to snap. The original model I wanted, the Husqvarna 576926301 13" Wooden HatchetHusqvarna 576926301 13" Wooden Hatchet, had the same problem. After reviewing the product pictures and consulting a Husqvarna rep, I confirmed that this model, the Husqvarna 19" Wooden Splitting Axe, had the logo stamped behind the shaft. This model does indeed split wood better than the first model I wanted, but it is also larger and heavier. However, the axe head is still looking great after a week of heavy use so I feel good about my choice. If the head breaks off, I will definitely update the review.With that out of the way, let's get into what I think about this axe (and not the significant negatives of other models).**The Good**1. Wood-Splitting Ability: I've never had an axe with the head shaped specifically for splitting small pieces of wood, so I was very impressed with its performance. The week that I have had the axe so far included a few days of heavy use around the yard and a 3 day winter backpacking trip where it truly made the difference between a cold time and big fires that lasted all night long. After the very first trip, I have already decided the increased performance over a smaller hand axe is worth the extra pound and change of weight.2. Good Shaft (all innuendo is unintentional,skip to #3 if it becomes too much): It's not hard to find a great shaft that is still affordable. However, I was still pleased with the stock one provided by Husqvarna. It's pretty smooth and feels natural in the hand, without feeling like it has been sanded into oblivion. The shape lets you choke up close to the head and slide to a better grip as you swing. The wedge at the top of the head was cut pretty flush with the shaft and looks way better than when I do it myself. I'm also liking the "Husqvarna" in big letters on one side. But I'm not a fan of the other side, which I will explain in "The Bad" section.3. Stylish and Functional Sheath: I knew from the product decision that it came with a leather sheath, but was not able to see any pictures before purchasing the axe (I included one so you can judge for yourself if it's nice). I bought this expecting to replace the sheath as soon as I could measure the head, but this might be the first "stock" sheath I actually like.4. Looks Good and Feels Good: I'm the kind of person that chooses form over function every time, but I always at least look a little for something that does both. This axe definitely checks both boxes. So far, it has worked out great and still looks pretty good for something as simple as an axe. One advantage this model has over smaller axes is actually its size. When your buddies finish chopping and bury their dinky little hand axes in the base, you can casually walk over and slam this bad boy right next to them. Then you give them a manly stare and nothing really needs to be said, but they just know your "axe" is bigger. You can't really put a price on that.**The Bad**1. The "Safety" Notice: As stated previously, I only like one side of the shaft. The reason is that the reverse side has a diagram warning you against hitting the back of the axe head with another object (see attached picture). It's inked on there pretty well and I haven't been able to fade it even a little. It's not a huge deal since I know I'll have to replace the shaft eventually, but come on. Really?2. Cheap Loop: The bottom of the shaft has a loop that makes it easy to hang the axe. I'm not really sure what the intent was. It seems too rugged just for attaching the product information tags, but too thin for its expected use. After a little over a week, I've already noticed it fraying a little bit. I wished they used a stronger material for this; maybe the sheath ate up all of Husqvarna's leather stash.3. Bad Logo Placement (on other models): I know I said I wouldn't talk about the negatives of other models, but Hasqvarna's poor logo placement is still bugging me a little. After experiencing the performance of a proper splitting axe, I would still pick this model over the 13" version if given the choice again. But that issue and the lack of customer support experienced by other reviewers almost made me go with a competing brand. Even with all of the features I like about this axe, of which there are plenty, the only reason I went with this model is because it does not share the problems plaguing the others (so far).All in all, I am very pleased with my choice so far. I was worried about the increased size and weight for winter backpacking (my main intended use), but haven't noticed a huge difference. The increased performance of the wood splitting specific head is enough that I use it at home for smaller logs, even though I have a much larger axe that will chop anything. If Husqvarna gets their act together and starts stamping their logo in a better place, I'm sure customer confidence will return for the other models. But for now, I only recommend this one specifically.
