Great axe for the money!
Like many others have said, this axe came with an edge that was flat. Some grinding, filing, and sanding put a nice edge on it. The handle is made from a soft wood so overstrikes will cause damage to the handle pretty quickly unless you protect it with a wrap. With all of that said, for the money you really can't beat this axe. After sharpening and protecting the handle, I immediately started using it as a camp axe to split smaller firewood and it worked great!
