Others have complained that it doesn't arrive 'sharp' - it's as sharp as it needs to be because it's for splitting logs, not shaving.It's perfectly balanced and comes in a solid weight, which helps on the downstroke; you don't want a tool like this to be too light. The grip on the handle is just right also, you're not likely to see it fly from your hand or for friction to hurt your hand.Honestly, it's worth the asking price even if it was double. Great value for money, very well constructed and a great weight balance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Tool *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 June 2026* Excellent tool. Solid not too heavy very pleased for the price paid Β£10 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok for the price *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 August 2026* Item arrived promptly. Now used a few times chopping wood into kindling. Edge is sharp and performed well. Finish is as per the price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/170785937-rolson-12182-1-1-2-lb-hand-axe-fibreglass-shaft](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/170785937-rolson-12182-1-1-2-lb-hand-axe-fibreglass-shaft) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
