Hack and Slash and Poke and Hook |

This 24" axe feels very lightly balanced in my hands. Its balance point is about 7" below the axe head, and 10" above the paracord wrap. This translates into very comfortable swings.
With my large hands, I could have used a thicker haft, though. The paracord wrap helps, but I still find myself having to squeeze my hand down really hard to meet the cord, instead of the haft and cord filling up my hand. This undermines my confidence to be able to control this waster to full effect. Hand strain does eventually arise.
The 6" tall edge really helps to land strikes. I don't completely miss my targets as often with this as I do with the Bearded V2 waster.
And the top horn of this broad axe allows for thrusts with the blade, as well.
But I still want a long beard though, with maybe an even taller edge overall. When I hook the lower horn over something, I don't want anything slipping back out from underneath, easily.
