  • Can only speak for mine, which is great even without considering the price.
Color: Viking Bearded Axe
First is that this is a battle axe and not a tomahawk or wood chopping axe, it's blade geometry is meant for slashing (not chopping)and stabbing against flesh, bone and thin wood(a shield) and not chopping thick branches or logs, it bites in deeply on every hit and gets stuck on almost every hit which is also why it shouldn't chop against an opponent( please don't be stupid and use this against ANYTHING alive). After reading so many reviews about the head being loose, the haft being garbage and needing to be sanded or whatever I got supplies to deal with these along with the axe. They were a waste of money as the head was secured tightly with or without the screw( which in my opinion is there only for shipping purposes), the shaft was perfectly straight and had the grain going the right way( in line with the axe blade) and had no coating on the head or shaft at all. The only modification I made was purely aesthetic, a simple darker stain and the axe looked and preformed great. The blade came with a usable edge but I still sharpened it until it was shaving sharp, which is honestly too sharp for a wood axe( it risks damaging the edge if it's too fine due to the tremendous force an axe can hit with which is far greater than a knife or even a sword) but I use this axe for martial arts training and "trick" cutting against water bottles and other human analog targets, not repeatedly against cured hard woods. All in all the axe was an absolute steal at $35.00, it had none of the problems the other reviewer's had, looks and feels great, has decent battle axe head geometry(which again is not that of a wood chopping axe),is light and well balanced and is made from quality materials that make it rugged and durable. It's worth far, far more than the asking price and I would definitely buy it again. I'm on a super tight budget and 35.00 is actually a lot of money to me for something that turns out to junk, my particular axe is a great item and not " for the money it's good", just good( I have yet to see something those axes that cost four or five or even ten times the price do that this one can't, $12.00 worth of wood stain and gun blue and it even looks as good as those ones). Not saying those other reviewer's were wrong, maybe cold steel improved their qc or maybe I just got lucky but there is no way anyone could say the one I got had any faults. As far as the head goes it's affixed to the shaft like a tomahawk, meaning the end of the shaft flares out slightly larger than the eye of the axe head and is held in place by friction. It's not like many battle axes that are held in place by a wedge being driven into the haft. I prefer it friction held as I can remove the head quickly, this makes it easier to sharpen, to replace the shaft when the time comes and to more safely store it ( have kids so that's an important issue to me). In a pinch I can also use the head as a makeshift ulu style knife, with which I can skin animals, scrape bark, hold the beard(not by the sharp part) and push on the top point with my left thumb for controlled cuts like in feather sticking and can use the sharp edge of the eye to strike sparks of a ferro rod (yes I can make a fancy bushcrafty fire with my battle axe or any tomahawk). It's not at all optimal for these things but it can do them. So for me I would never glue or permanently attach the head. A few good swings securely resets the head when I put it back on. Again I can only speak for myself but the friction method has been used for centuries so that's good enough for me. One last thing, for safety if your axes head does not sit securely enough for you then the only safe way to make it secure is by using a wedge, axes swing with incredible power and no amount of just glue, string or tape no matter how strong will hold on the head if used for any length of time, especially if striking objects, they only give a false sense of security. All these things are just my opinion so take them for what they are and make the best decision for you. ... show more

  • Explanation For The American Tomahawk Company
Color: Viking Bearded Axe
If you can hang an ax, you already have what you need to bring this tough-as-nails powerhouse to life. However, before the review, I would first like to address a common (and somewhat frustrating) gripe that I've been seeing about this item and it's Cold Steel sisters over and over and over. And that gripe is this: "THIS AX SAYS AMERICAN TOMAHAWK COMPANY AND IT HAS TIAWAN STAMPED ON IT!!! SO HOW IS IT AMERICAN?! COLD STEEL DIDNT MAKE THIS! THEY TRICKED ME!!!" The answer to this review-muddling mystery is that the original "American Tomahawk Company" went out of business some time ago, and no longer exists as it's own company in the normal sense. The name, however, was was purchased by Cold Steel, and now exists as something of a sister-company. The nerve-striking American Tomahawk Company stickers we are seeing on these tomahawks and axes are, unfortunately, is a clever marketing ploy which allows Cold Steel to advertise an "American" product while still outsourcing their manufacturing to Tiawan. In short, American Tomahawk Company = Cold Steel THE REVIEW: Though it can't be denied that Cold Steel and it's founders are (at best) an organization of questionable moral aptitude, it also can't be denied that they make exceptional cutting tools. This is especially so with their axes and tomahawks. However, this is a textbook case of "you get what you pay for". Ranging from $30 to $60+, these hand tools are extremely hard to beat for their price points. The drawback for such affordability? Though they're marketed as "combat ready", it's allong the same concept as how a brick or large rock is "combat ready"; if you swing it and make contact, the person on the hard end of it might not be too worried about details of craftsmanship or quality control. Realistically, after you chop through all of the marketing and whatnot, these are project pieces. This ax is to be considered roughly-refined stock consisting of high-quality materials that require basic craftsmanship to bring out it's true beauty and potential. It comes sharp-ish, the handle will be machine-pressed into the eye, resulting in the curled shavings I like to call "eyelashes", there will be an annoying set screw involved, and there's a chance you might get poor grain orientation, or a warped handle. But the ax head IS top-notch steel, despite being produced in Taiwan (which is very high quality steel compared to "cheap Chinese crap", another issue I could address all together). And the handle IS high-quality, well-cured hickory. If you want a ready-for-battle, true-to-the-lumberjack, razor-sharp, instantly-perfect ax, then you're in luck, all you need is $160-$250. If you want all of that in a $40-$50 price range, please, please tell me if you find it. Because this is not that item. This item is for the person who is either willing/able to bond with a new companion through some TLC and a little know-how, or who is willing/able to have it done for them. ... show more

  • Handle is uncoated an blade is held on with a set screw
Color: Viking Bearded Axe
So i have some good an some bad let's start with the good. This thing has a good feel in the hands the blade is well made and seems to come with a sharp edge not razor sharp but still good, it light and easy to use. Now the bad the blade is held with a set screw so it will loosen and the handle is uncoated and will wear fast both easy fixes so great axe for the price will buy another soon ... show more
