That's nice and light for a piece of steel that length and thickness. Now I'm curious.

My only question is at that length and weight will it be able to really do any axe-ish stuff or would you just be better off using a knife of similar proportions. IMHO I'd either get/use a larger knife or maybe a much less expensive hatchet, there is a nice Weterlings and Fiskar has a good offering as well. Neither cost quite as much.

If you do pick it up please let us know how it works out.

God bless,

that does look like an interesting little tool, there has to be someone with one kicking around.

I think it will work good as an ulu type blade...and maybe some small chopping duties (very small)....
