Very nice axe head and handle. The handle had a varnish finish so I ended up shaving that off and using linseed oil over it instead. Overall very nice axe and something I keep in my truck
Good size and feel for chopping small and medium stuff, however like many others I ended up breaking the handle. Since handles will eventually be damaged, I feel that Cold Steel should offer replacements like they do with some tomahawks.
Perfect balance, durable hickory handle and easy to sharpen. Whether you're (finally) killing zombies or clearing trail, the Boss handles its business. 10/10 - would/will buy again.
I purchased this axe a while ago and have since put it through hell. The blade has taken a few dings as a result of operator error, but even still will take off limbs in one swipe. Couldn't be more satisfied.
I have had this for 3 years and it has yet to let me down. I stripped the handle and applied boiled linseed oil as a treatment to improve it. Stays/easy to keep sharp.
