Pros: Balance, Construction, Handle Material, Head Material
Cons: None
Great but needs work.
If buying this axe you should know a few things first. This axe doesn’t come with a sheath, collar, or a wrapped grip. Also, most importantly, the edge is fairly sharp but you’ll need to file the bevel a bit deeper to cut anything deeper. At its best the Trail Boss is light, very sturdy, and balanced well on the blade end. I wouldn’t recommend it for felling trees, but it can handle most branches and dry logs very well. I’d definitely recommend wrapping the handle for a grip as the wood is very smooth. Also keep the blade dry and clean to prevent rust. For the price it’s definitely one of the best camping tools you can ask for.
