Great Axe, great customer service from seller.
By Someguy
First, the axe. Oh my, what a perfect tool. Well balanced, good feel, sharp as all heck. Please note that the sheath shown in the picture is NOT the sheath or handle that comes with the axe. It's hard to say if this is a change from the mfg'r or just an old pic of the axe. Worth every single penny. Can't wait to use them!Second, Thompson Tools and the shipping. Initially there was a major, major issue with the shipping. I posted negative, but truthful, info about my shipment. Matthew from Thompson was on it like white on rice. He rectified the situation beyond what I would have ever expected; even went so far as to personally call me to make sure I was happy/satisfied. I am now. Kudo's to Thompson for incredible customer service.

i got the Wildlife Axe.
By claw
not so clear if i am reviewing this "hunter's" axe or the wildlife axe. dimensions are the same. whatever.GREAT TOOL! it came out of the box gosh-darn sharp. some quick swipes with a diamond sharpener..and yeozah!! it is now very sharp. fit and finish is not wonderful. the handles sticks out the top of the axe head about 1/4", and looks like the craftsman missed on a few swings while tapping in the round wedge. the top looks beat. there are chunks of wood missing. which appears to have happened during the wedge install. the axe head was also fairly rusted. i cleaned it all up with some 800grit paper. the blackened sections of the head, i left the rust and oiled it up. both of these are minor complaints; i cannot see how performance could be affected. just dumb aesthetics. i dont know if my axe was sitting on a shelf for a long time, but i got the sheath pictured. it is way more rustic and robust than the sheath on my Gransfor. the leather is heavier, and less "boutique" feeling. i like this sheath way better. i understand they have changed the sheath on newer tools (?). (i also read somewhere the newer tools have no steel wedge)i turned a bunch of small branches into kindling. fun!! keep in mind, a short axe is a more dangerous axe. you can swing this into your shin with ease. safety first!! this axe is overall pretty light. and if i am backpacking on a trip i am not worried about every little ounce..it will be coming with me. i bet i can dismantle a moose with this thing. not clear on how i could get any warranty work done. no instructions about warranty included.so in summary, i give it 4-stars. one star penalty for the aesthetic issues. i think that is fair, for a relatively expensive tool. but i love it, and i may buy my brother in law one for a gift.edit* just wanted to add that the handle was installed with the grain not oriented perfectly. staring at the end of the handle, the grain was 45 deg from perfect. i dont think this is a big deal on a hatchet. i cant imagine me breaking the handle from the expected light duty. i also oiled the handle initally, it was very very dry.
