I've tried twice to get a quality tool to no avail. The lines at the tip of the ax were wrong, and both sides looked and felt different. I bought a hiking axe, a prospector's hammer and a clawed hammer that I was expecting (tourist ax twice). I bought these because I liked the old school leather handles and the polished steel look. I thought she was beautiful. I have a camper ax and a prospector's pickaxe hanging on my wall. I would be embarrassed to show it.
