The Pipe Hawk is honestly one of the best all around hawks out there. It hammers very well, chops great (almost as well as my GB Sandi forest axe) and if it is re profiled well, slices grate too!
Here is a video of mine showing a proper cross cutting with the Pipe Hawk...

I highly recommend the Pip Hawk. Once its cleaned up a little (set screw removed, handle sanded and oiled, blade re profiled etc) it is a great performer.
