"The Mizuno Axe is the perfect backpacking and camp axe. I really wanted the Japanese Craftsmanship and blacksmithing thats used in making Samurai swords and the Mizuno Axe is spectacular. And then of course quick delivery is the icing on the cake"
"Wow it can split wood well the handle angle seemed wrong but actually it is much more natural on impact. I love the size and weight."
