I do have an M4 copy. One of my most used knives in the house, as it's on my work-bench, used every day; really good cutter for anything from boxes to leather, etc, and Spyderco's M4 is good, just corrodes if you are not careful. The Cruwear version should resolve this, without sacrificing hard- or toughness. Now, for fat thumbs like mine, the lock was not too easy to access, so I had to open it up a bit (repost):
But overall, I warmly recommend the knife (nobody is surprised, I guess
).

Picked up a nice little David Mary EDC from Empire Outfitters called Zoomerang. It’s got a 3/32”, 2.9” Magnacut blade with file work on the tang on top and bottom, textured wenge, and brass hardware. Pic from Empire Outfitters.

Dig that textured micarta they been using. For whatever reason in years past they always polish the micarta. Though I love the sleek dark appearance it offers that textured stuff is the $. They Did the same with Carbon Fiber for the longest but now seem to always go with a grippy peel ply which I love. Blah, here is mine. First with purple. Love it.

I’m really liking the Woox Forte. I didn’t use it to actually chop down a tree yet, but I did take it to work to use it as I would my other axes. I was a little worried about the handle being skinny at the bottom but after using it I really like it. I have xl glove size hands. At the bottom of the handle my fingers fully wrap it and touch the base of my hand. It actually made it feel more secure, but just wasn’t what I was used to. I split some large 24 inch rounds with it and it worked better than my 8 pound maul. I tend to use an axe as a hammer as much as for any thing else, and at that it is far and away better than any other axe I’ve used. I use it for pounding wedges and knocking out face cuts and ect. Today I had to send a tree uphill against its lean and it took all the wedges I had with me, and they were doubled up. So I was really beating on the with the axe. The longer hardened pole really helped me by allowing me to drive them deeper into the back cut.
For my uses, I’m happy with it. It feels well balanced and seems well made. Time will tell if the skinnier handle holds up. But they are slip fit and easy to replace. They also have a 22 inch handle for it(I have a 28) so you can swap it out.
