Hudson Bay Axe

Extremely comfortable and fits great in the hands. If you want it sharp, you will have to put some elbow grease into it but it will hold a pretty decent edge. It performs wonderfully, I have been beating mine up for a few years and it's still going strong.

Great piece of American manufacturing. The steel used is top notch (1080 carbon) so it takes a super sharp edge and holds it for what seems like forever. Didn’t come very sharp at all, had more of what I would consider a courtesy grind, but i love sharpening so this was preferable for me. It was usable as it came though. Very nice handle, straight grain. And a nice usable sheath. Definitely not some super high quality sheath, but it does its job, and most of the axes in this price range don’t even come with one. This is the perfect bushcraft/pack axe. All in all I’m very pleased with it. I’ve been using it for about 6 months now on everything from cutting down small trees, splitting, and finer work like making tent stakes and feather sticks. The only thing that could make this better would be a hardened poll.Very good product. I think you get a lot for your money here.,

Beautiful axe, nice weight, great balance, great feel on the handle. Nice touch on the leather protector. Perfect length for a bushcraft or camp axe when a hatchet is not enough. Factory edge adequately sharp, I’ll hit with the whetstones. It’s American Made and for the money you can’t be beat.

I compared all the higher costing axes that were 200.00 and under. What initially drew my attention to this particular axe was the fact that " Lehman's" non electrical Amish store praised it...that is probably the reviews of the most true users, so it pulled me in. I found a great buy on Amazon and when I received the axe, I slowly looked at the critical issues that others had written about in their reviews. This included balance of a head on the handle, Center of the blade in line with Center of aft head, design flaws from craftsmanship were none, the hickory handle was straight up and down with the grain and the cutting edge and the grip and length of the handle is perfect for kindling or if necessary two handed chopping. The only con I really encountered was the sharpness of the blade. It came pre-sharpened, however, I did have to file a keener edge which took about 10 minutes. I have used the axe a lot but still like to just pick it up and hold it...it feels perfect in my hand...4 stars, only due to blade sharpening

This is an awsome 3/4 ax,the ax has great balance,and good weight,this is a wonderful trail and camp ax.

Everything about this axe seems well made, I love that it’s 100% USA made. I give three stars because I had to take the belt sander to it before even getting near it with a diamond hone; about a hour all together. It’ll shave now, but it was sadly dull out of the box. This would be a 5 star if they would finish the job with a sharp edge. Not everyone has a belt grinder, and for the price, too many reviews saying their’s came dull too.

Sturdy. If you want a simple well made small axe/hatchet this is perfect. Very comfortable and well balanced. I’ve not gone camping or anything with it yet but it’s my go to around the house. (Bought this axe a couple years ago and it’s still in great shape in spite of constant use)

I love that this axe and handle are made in USA and my home state of Maine. I am glad the Amish is Smyrna saved this old USA company. The head showed up dull, but a few hours with a file and the honing puck and it was perfect razor sharp. The handle was perfect. about 8 degrees off dead center, but perfect. No knots, and no grain runout. Handle fit was perfect with the head. Sheath is real leather and very tight fitting.
