Two small details kept it from a 5 Star rating. The handle 'feels' an inch or two too long, and the heel of the axe is enclosed in the scabbard. The first complaint is personal and not a big deal at all. I camp quite a bit (Boy Scout leader). I use a hand axe as a light hammer as much as I use it to hack wood. Having the heel exposed in the scabbard allows hammer use while keeping the 'business end' safely enclosed. I'll overcome that by being careful. It's very light weight. Mine was sharp enough out of the box. Saw is way more useful than I first imagined. It's comforting to know that replacement saws are available. Nice touch from a quality brand. Well recommended.
