My second Axe
I just received my second Council Tools 24in pack axe and I can not say enough about how pleased I am with it! got my first one a year ago and liked it so much that I had to have another one. The only difference between the 2 is the new one has USA on one side of the poll and CT logo on the other side. The Axe comes strait out of the box razor sharp. I am a trucker so I want one to take with me and one for home so I don't have to transfer it all the time. Also I ordered the full mask with a shoulder strap, and this makes for a great system. Now when camping I don't have to take my felling Axe with me! This one does all I will ever need in the woods!! As always, thanks Dave for offering good quality products!

Soon To Come!
I have a number of quality Swedish axes for camping, backpacking, canoeing, wilderness adventures. Looks like another quality ax in the near future. Over 50 years ago I traded labor with a farmer for a double-bitted ax. Not the same quality. After 50+ years of backcountry experience, I am looking to upgrade. You always appreciate quality long after the price fades away.

no regets
like other reviews here, i love this axe. came extremely sharp out of the box. excellent grain orientation. after about a year of use i can say that 5160 head holds a edge like you wouldn't believe. it still surprises me every time i use it. I'm a rather small stature, and one handing it with any kind of real swing is uncomfortable, but one or two handed carving is pleasant and rewarding. two handed chopping swings are natural feeling and comfortable. 6" hardwoods in about 15-20 swings. if you are looking for a overall outdoors axe, cutting trail to camping, delimbing larger wood you may cut with a saw, this is the real deal

Premium Quality - Great Axe
If you are on the fence on what size axe to buy for true all around use in the woods, look no further. This is the perfect size, and is top quality. I am totally impressed with this axe. If you are going to do big tree felling all day, or deal with many logs over 6 inch diameter, bring a full size axe. If you are only occasionally going to process bigger timber, this axe will be totally capable of bigger work, but not ideal, for long periods of use. One handed use is not a problem either. It won't wear out your wrist and shoulder too bad. It is a real treat to have a small axe like this with you in the woods. Small enough to always take with you. When i have it with me, i don't have to baton my knife to process wood. In my opinion, buying an axe with a shorter handle than the 24, you are basically buying a hatchet at this point. The 24 to me, is a perfect size.
