Review: Great axe good value - This is my first and only experience with a double bit axe. It's a pleasure to split with. Been splitting with it right out of the box with no modifications or sharpening yet. It's sort of a blank slate and I look forward to improving it by stripping the paint and reprofiling/sharpening it. Can't fine another axe like it for the value. I plan on buying another council tool axe.
Review: Solid tool. - This axe is on the lower end of the price range for double bit axes. Don't let that fool you. Solid tool, USA made. I've split four cords of wood with it. Feels good in the hand, good weight and it gets work done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great axe good value
*by N***D on September 12, 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid tool.
*by T***K on January 5, 2023*

This axe is on the lower end of the price range for double bit axes. Don't let that fool you. Solid tool, USA made. I've split four cords of wood with it. Feels good in the hand, good weight and it gets work done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Barco.
*by L***Y on February 22, 2015*

This axe came relatively sharp and took a great felling edge and also a good utility edge for limbing and other ground work. The handle was thoughtfully unfinished but was perhaps a little too unfinished with ridges being left from the turning process. It still sanded out and took a linseed oil finish nicely. Council uses 1060 carbon steel and mine definitely was properly heat treated as it holds it edge very well. Great American quality at a fair price. If you want a good American tool that is easy to sharpen yet holds it's edge well this axe is a good choice. When I compared it to my Barco Kelly Michigan double bit the Council is hung straight and ground true. The Barco is not ground true and is hung very crooked. The Council also has a thinner and longer bit for a deeper bite. The Council doesn't have the smooth finish of the barco but it is better quality overall. If you know how to sharpen and safely use a double bit axe this is a great buy that will really perform well at an import price for all American made quality.
