This is a must have ! after using standard axes and mauls I purchased this ! Amazing, light weight but with heavy power. This axe can split wet wood in one to two strikes. You will not be disappointed with this well made product. I'm 6'1" and the long handle works just right for me. Once you use this axe, you will never go back to mauls or other expensive splitting tools, this one does it all. Please get the sharpener as well( only $10) I cut a 1/4 cord in maybe 20 minutes.
