Roughneck ROU65670 Traditional Hickory Handle Axe 600g (1¼lbs)

Receiving the Roughneck Hand Axe as a gift for my cousin turned out to be a bittersweet experience. As soon as I laid hands on it, I was struck by its exceptional quality - so much so that a twinge of envy crept in at the thought of parting with it.Crafted with evident attention to detail, the axe boasts a sturdy, well-balanced design that feels both robust and comfortable in the hand. Its compact size belies its effectiveness; whether it's for chopping kindling, small logs, or clearing branches, the Roughneck Hand Axe performs with admirable efficiency.The durability of the material is noteworthy. The blade, forged from high-grade steel, retains its sharpness even after repeated use, slicing through wood with surprising ease. The handle, too, is a highlight: it's ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue, making it a pleasure to use for extended periods.Perhaps the greatest testament to its quality is that, despite purchasing it as a gift, I found myself contemplating buying a second one just to keep for myself. It's not just an axe; it's a reliable companion for outdoor adventures, DIY projects, or simple backyard tasks.In essence, the Roughneck Hand Axe is a top-tier tool that would be a valuable addition to anyone's toolkit. If you're in the market for a hand axe that promises performance and longevity, this is the one to covet - and perhaps to give away reluctantly.

Bought as a budget bushcraft axe and it's definitely good value. Nice sturdy handle and weighty head. Will need some work to sharpen the edge to an appropriate level but expected that. Will also sand the handle to remove the garish logo. Cover for the head is cheap but it does the job. Yet another terrible logo though that I'll need to eliminate or replace. Overall very pleased with this axe.

Excellent feel to it, not too heavy or light. Reading other reviews I was expecting it to be blunt but it was relatively sharp. Was out within ten mins chopping tree roots, through them no problem. Seem like good value for money

good finished product, balanced weight and warm feel. perhaps not sharp enough.

An ideal axe, small and functional. Smooth handle.

It is sturdy and the edge is quite sharp.

I've had a lot of ace and hatchets and cut would most days. Would recommend this one, nice head shape and good feel. Handle could of been stronger but it did take some abuse before breaking 5/5

Used for splitting logs. Can cut through some pretty hard wood. Perfect for my needs. Gets a razor sharp edge after sharpening.
