ちゃんと薪割れます。成人男性が使う分には軽いほうだと思う。ただ、一度使って、刃の5~10％程度が傷んだので、都度研磨が必要かと。

Ottima accetta per rompere pezzi di piccole dimensioni. Materiali morbidi al tatto ma allo stesso tempo danno l'idea di robustezza e duratura.Consigliata.

I might be a little lady but I know how to swing an axe!I've recently felled a honey skyline (last season) and the smaller branches are now ready for burning.A lot of them are quite thick and need splitting first so needed a decent axe to make light work. I've always been old fashioned and gone with wooden handles but recently had a good experience with a fibre glass sledge hammer so opted for the same.This cut through like butter.It has a good weight to it so you get a nice clean swing. No concerns at all of the head leaving the handle. It's angles are nice so you can remove it from the chopping block with ease. The guard is a nice touch.It's been used quite a lot now and still going strong, no need to use the whetsone yet.I've even allowed my son (he's a grown up!!) use of it (I'm usually quite protective of my tools) this is a boy who struggles to mow the lawn but he managed to spilt logs quite easily. In my book that says it all!!! He wasn't able to figure out how to get the guard on though. Honestly!

First I’d like to mention that this is the first axe I’ve ever purchased. I’ve usually used my dads in the past but it was time to get my own. I purchased the 28-inch chopping axe. My main use for this has been splitting logs in my backyard so I can have fires in my fire pit over the summer. I will say that this axe has exceeded my expectations. It slices through and split seasoned/dry wood beautifully. If the wood isn’t fully seasoned/dry you might have to give it a few good hacks but it will eventually go. I’ve even hit the handle on accident a few times right below the axe head and I haven’t noticed any cracks or damage because of it. The feel of this axe is great in the hands and the rubber grip is comfortable. I really like the fiberglass composite handle it seems very sturdy and has taken a few accidental blows. The weight feels perfect, not too heavy and not too light. After you give the head a nice little sharpen it just eats through wood with a powerful swing. I’d definitely recommend sharpening it before using it the first time, it doesn’t come very sharp from the factory. It even comes with a handy head safety protector that has a handle on it. I paid around 31 dollars for this axe with a discount on Amazon and I will say this is a solid and affordable piece that is competitive with a Fiskars axe that costs 15-20 dollars more. Great value for money so far! I expect this to last many more summers. An avid and extremely experienced wood chopper/splitter may notice some differences/ have some gripes but I’d assume this will work and perform perfectly fine for most people.

I was looking for a hatchet size axe head that is light weight for hiking, and yet I want to use both hand. Originally I was set on Fiskar X11. Its quite hard to find and price is almost double, so I settled on the V18. I was told it is not made in USA, but at least its made in Taiwan, not China (for those don't know, there is a fine difference between the two!)First impression:Most of the other reviewers are right, the first impression isn't great, forging mark all over on the head, and the edge is dull, unlike the Fiskars which is ready to chop out of box. With a cheap kitchen wet stone, within minutes its gets sharp, after 30 minutes its paper cutting sharp. During the initial sharping, I skipped the stone and hit the edge , it rolled a little which gave me some doubts.Edge:Took it out to hack over some kindling, I was immediately impressed. I been using a 14 inch no name brand home depot hatchet for years, had to baton it to split. The V18 split logs into kindling effortlessly. Just to test the edge, I attempted to chop a log side ways and baton it, the edge held up very well. The instruction provided advise you not to baton this axe, so do it at your own risk.Handle:I use ranger band to increase grip for most of my wooden axe handle, but this handle is hollow and light weight, with good texture on it. I double I will need to put ranger band for this one. Time will tell if this handle will last.Sheath:A little wobbly, the plastic is quite flexible. I don't like it but it does the job.Overall:For the money, you can't go wrong with this. For the price of X11, I can get both V18 and V18S. Any axe and knife can roll after long period of use, a working axe need to sharpen regularly. In the coming weeks I have some projects coming up and this axe will be abused. I plan to update this review soon after. If it survived I will update the star rating, and maybe getting the V18S just for splitting firewood!

A skeptical at first the price point seemed too good and had gotten it with an extra 20% off.. but this axe is amazing it's very high quality! Very nice swing the balance distribution it's amazing, I've used older style axes with the wood handle I've used wedge axes stuff like that but I've never actually owned one for myself so when this came in I was ecstatic for it it comes with a little plastic carrying case/sheath I guess you could call it but that is honestly really nice too it's a nice touch. Obviously it's not super expensive by any means it's just plastic but it's an extremely nice touch to add to the package deal that you get I would definitely recommend this axe to anyone especially people that are beginners essentially it's got a nice length to it. I'm 6' 2" so it feels right at home with me and the weight distribution is just phenomenal! Extremely accurate swings and I haven't split wood by axe in years! Lexivon seems like a very good company if I had to have any issues in the future I would not hesitate to contact them and I feel like they would do everything in their power to make things right but so far it's split many logs and the many logs to go!
