Swiss Military Surplus Reserve Axe, New is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 38.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Clifton from nice axe, needed work This axe is brand new. It was dull, had to sharpen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Michigan Chuck from Few Better Than This I split wood when camping. I wanted an axe big enough to swing once but fairly compact and this is it. A friend chose a lighter axe/hatchet however he had to also buy a hammer to finish his wood splitting. This axe does it on one swing, one handed, most of the time. Swiss quality too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rick from short handle, miners type ax, full size head, solid tool Head is good quality, maybe about 3-3.5 lbs, with a short handle, like a miners ax.Grain of the wood handle is off, perpendicular to the blade= handle is set into the eye well, and finished with a wood wedge but no attention to grain of the wood. Handle grain very not right. Ugh! but overall the finish is good enuf.I imagine I will rehang the ax with a longer or conventional size handle some time in the future, or as needed. My ax came working sharp, and you could hit the ground running and chopping with this ax. Ax handle is untreated, no varnish or stain, nor oil. Linseed oil and touch of sanding, or whatever your pref. to make this a little nicer - I shaped the handle some, esp at the next where it goes into the eye.Good economy surplus buy. Rate this as a low four stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by wils from Outstanding for one handed small jobs! I bought this as a little longer than a typical hatchet. Very well made, hardwood handle, good steelhead! My primary purpose this tool was for flower gardening for wife to sit and use for root destruction. Perfect, I must say! I intending using around climbing stands etc when a long handle axe isn't required. A fine addon to my hand tool arsenal! U can't go wrong with military surplus, especially Swiss made!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Andmyaxe from Nice Handle This is a relatively inexpensive axe and the price is basically appropriate, a little high. Axe head is way too heavy. The edge is so off center to the point where I wonder if it's supposed to be that way to make it split wood better or something. The eye was off center too though. The handle was actually awesome, great sanded texture and beautiful straight grains, and almost worth the price of the axe by itself except that it's too short to be of much good. I agree with the comments that consistently come up in the negative reviews for this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OldGrunt from Excellent pack axe Handle is 24.5" from the end to the head, good feel and excellent grain. Wedge is large and well set to keep the head were it is, all flush cut and painted.Blade is reasonably well prepared for sharpening. Good profile, should bite deep without any trouble.Great Swiss quality, will be taking this thing camping next time.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rance Gearhardt from seconds The title describes it, this axe is clearly a "seconds" that didn't stand a chance to get past quality control. The handle has several areas where the grain looks like it will split soon enough from chopping. The head had the worst off-center grind I ever seen and the edge was also ground wavey and off-center and dull as well. I lathered the handle with linseed oil and refaced the edge so it looks ok. If the axe was at say a flea mkt, I would of not paid $27 for it. Just barely satisfied. It is heavy and splits kindling like a champ. Expect to get out a file and reshape and take a close look at the handle, you will see where the weak spots are. My handle has a small crack half way up on the grain and will most likely crack right there from usage. Nothing I can do to prevent it. Rehandling is in the future, no way around it.
