The ax par excellence!

Greetings!
Today I bought the X5, not here on Amazon but in a hardware store, where I was able to compare them with similar one-handed axes.
The conclusion:
Size --- A fine small ax / hatchet, which also a long walk / even climbing never likely to make trouble by the holster and light weight!

Handling --- A well-formed grip, slightly textured and coated carbon steel blade here make for good cutting / chopping performance and a comfortable lead, even when I applied to the extreme test of oil on the handle, he remained 1A grip !!! Holla the forest fairy purpose it should also be said that the work of demolition is very commendable, with a ceramic whetstone and some skill can be here even carving sharpness realize something that is by no means standard in an ax.

Material --- For this one thing: The 2x hardened blade makes her what she is, wood, roots and even strong Tau is usually due to a stroke. If this time is not enough, no problem! Forged from the full head has a massive edge, which you can use as a hammer, or state of that slebst can cleave thick logs. (Procedure: either put ax or flip into the wood, then fall with hammered on Axtrücken, TADA)

Price / performance ratio --- the super stable grip, quality steel, which remains its coating nor rust free, the universality and full 10-year warranty make this ax to an absolute buy recommendation!

Disadvantages --- for aestheticians not necessarily the first choice, it sneaked me personally a little military simplicity, and lollies along there is a cast fin. So what I say because, unsheathed sharp knife and carefully gekraztt and looped, Tada, a wonderfully supple and comfortable feel with an absolutely rigid Stiehl! At the top there are still individual TÜV / GS-stamp, this give me but rather the certainty that my ax also is good enough now.

Long story short: Buy unpack, happy, into the forest !!!
