The butt is flattened out and the edge has shrunk back from years of use and sharpening. The head is bent back a bit and the plastic handle has a split in it. It has a few minor rust spots, gouges and discoloration but still responds to sharpening. It hangs in the front of the garage, gets thrown in the back of the truck and sometimes spends the night outside with its blade nestled deep into the rings of a tree stump. Military exchanges (AAFES, NEX) still sell these for 6 bucks. You can drop 120 bucks on a Gransfors Bruks hatchet and it will stay sharper a bit longer or buy 20 of these. Are there any outstanding features? Yes... it's the most inexpensive axe that chops and hammers. Why pay more? Nuff said.

C. Bednar "J.C. Bednar" (Junction City, KS USA) - See all my reviews    Must agree with the other reviewer: this is a good, strong axe. The handle is quite sturdy and has the finger-grip style handle. Good for cutting trees about the thickness of an average sized persons thigh. Thicker than that and you will tire yourself out and probably injure yourself. Also good for hammering in tent stakes and such. Comes with a cheap, flimsy, plastic sheath. After four years, surprised my sheath is still useable. Only thing that is a drawback is that it does not come with its own leather sheath as stated from the other reviewer. If you want to attach this axe to a utility belt or back, you have to get creative or try and find a leather sheath for it. Also, good for self defense purposes.

Lees (Novato, CA USA) - See all my reviews    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Coleman Camp Axe (Sports) As I get older I'm increasingly drawn to getting out into the wilderness and relying on my own ingenuity and a backpack full of equipment in order to traverse the distance between where I am and where I want to be, in a manner that is reasonably safe and comfortable. After trying to cut through branches with a sharp hunting knife and a stone (use the stone to drive the knife blade through the branch) I decided to buy a small hand-axe. The good news: it is definitely easier to chop things with than the knife-and-stone approach. The rubber handle offers some protection to the hand if you're going to be chopping for a while. The bad news: of course it's a small axe, you need to keep sharpening it with a wetstone or equivalent tool because it loses its edge pretty quickly, and... it weighs a lot. It is, in fact, the heaviest single item in my pack. So of course it is a trade-off, like many things in life. Is it worth carrying the extra weight in...
