Review: A perfect tool for the collection - I grew up with many roofers in the family and am quite familiar with its design. Although many (including myself) would argue that there is a proper tool for a proper job, I find this tool to be the one I pick up most. I received this axe within the last two weeks and have already put a fair amount of miles on it. I love it. The edged came plenty sharp and the construction seems extremely durable. I have used it for everything from a rough frame in, to shaving limbs for kindling. The edge seems to hold an edge well and the handle seems to allow for a solid grip even with wet hands. The one thing that I would like to note to new users is that a tool will only last as long as its user will allow it to. That said, even with cleaning the tool after use and oiling, I did notice some rust forming on the bit. After contacting the company, they were very quick to respond as well as helpful in finding a solution. For that reason, I have decided to give this product a five star review due its quality and the quick assistance from the company. This item is a definite go to for backyard, job site or camping duties. All around solid tool and a must have for any trade/outdoorsman. Review: Sweet framing hammer axe thing - So far been using for over a month and I can dig it. I've had estwing and stelito framing hammers and this riggers axe is what I grab for first thing every morning and every day I find better uses for it compared to the framing aspects of things. It's quick and not to heavy but heavy enough to get the job done quickly.

The axe head may weigh a little more also. **Q: Does it include sheath or some type of edge cover? If not what is the recommended option on sale here for that purpose?** A: I ordered the Style N Craft 94-027 Camper's Axe Head Sheath with mine. Works like a charm. **Q: does it come with a sheath** A: The Hardcore carpenter hatchet sheath fits perfectly. I keep mine razor sharp. **Q: Does it have a smooth face? I want to be able to pound metal tent stakes without destroying them, which a milled face would do.** A: It has a milled face. I think the carpenters hatchet has a smooth face but the handle is not as long ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfect tool for the collection *by A***M on November 3, 2016* I grew up with many roofers in the family and am quite familiar with its design.

Just keep your head back. Dude!. Anyway. The axe slices through the logs and 2x4s in the wood pile. Chops great. Needs a sheath so you can handle in the weather, and take with ya. Looks a kottle spooky in the hand when ya walknupnon a cap.
