Have owned this gang hatchet axe for around a month, have used it once before, "had" high hopes for it as the head cuts real deep into wood, thin grind, but the wood is weak. 2nd time took it out was today and this happend.
Any chance can get a replacement Cold Steel? I also own a trailboss, haven't used it yet. Very worried to now. As wood is identical and not that much thicker. The tree I was chopping through was 8", no knots, no nothing. Have chopped through thicker trees with .18" knives with no issues. First time an axe has ever broke on me. I saw a video on YouTube of a guy also breaking one of these and chalked it up to the size of log he was trying to split, but now seeing they are not very durable at all.
A. Can I get a replacement?
B. Are these just novelty axes and not supposed to be used outdoors much?
Anybody else have a CS axe break? Do they make any descent models?
