loki I have one similar looking to yours (blade not handle) http://www.khukurihouseonline.com/C...p?PID=03c6b06952c750899bb03d998e631860|5c4548 the blade to me feels a little narrow for chopping then that could just be because mines a shorter blade also. Ive used it for cutting down small trees and splitting its up to the job but not as easy to use as an axe. Would be interested in a full review once youve put it through its paces.
