Review: A Real Workhorse - So have only gotten around to using this Axe for a second time now..The first Axe was returned due to it Bluntness..This one is Sharper but could still be better..However I used an Old File to obtain a better edge on the Axe and it cut through Sleepers like butter..Its got good Balance..a nice weight to it..you can get a good swing at the Wood and after 30 minutes of chopping checked the edge for any wear but nothing visible..For the Price paid you can't go wrong..Its a Great Axe and hopefully will see a few Years of good Service and I would highly recommend this as a reliable investment..Thanks..

The item arrived quickly ready to use to split logs for my log burner and it’s faultless so far blades holding a sharp edge and cutting well even the handle is comfortable in your hands with no pain when using for a Long length of time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool *by H***0 on 17 August 2013* Simple, straightforward, nicely balanced lightweight axe excellent for splitting straight-grained logs, or chopping through light branches for kindling. A perfect mid-range tool between my single-hand axe and heavy splitting maul. Not a tree-felling instrument but this would certainly tackle light brush and heavy undergrowth. A no-messing tool with no frills but all the necessary attributes to do its job. ## Frequently Bought Together - Draper 9946 FA/L Expert Yankee Pattern Felling Axe 1.1 kg, Black - Weaver Arborist Leather Logging Belt Kit, Latigo Leather Tool Belt with Suspenders, Arborist Accessory, Women and Men’s Tool Belt for Waist sizes 30”-52" - Weaver Arborist Leather Plastic Lined Burgundy Axe Sheath/Protector/Pouch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48177597-draper-expert-1-1-kg-yankee-feeling-axe-2-5lb](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48177597-draper-expert-1-1-kg-yankee-feeling-axe-2-5lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
